  • After being contacted by a few people regarding my friend Ronnie and the mystery of why his cars had ended up on eBay, The same cars he told me he would never part with... how could a man in his 80’s who never even used the Internet suddenly advertise all of his pride & joy’s... Things just didn’t add up!
    So I decided to do some investigation work.. I tried a number of times to contact him on his mobile with no luck, I knew something was wrong so I arranged with Lee & Ben to take a trip back to his yard and find out what was going on?... Watch the video to find out what has happened... but be warned, this sadly isn’t one of those story’s with a happy ending 😔

    Rest in Peace Ronnie. Such a kind and friendly bloke, it’s a shame there aren’t more people like him around these days. There’s comfort in knowing some of the cars have been saved or parts of them are being sold on - hopefully Ronnie’s story can continue with them. It is a massive shame that Ronnie is no longer with us, but it is nice we all got to “meet” him, his cars and his passion before he passed. Massive, massive respect for caring about the old chap and showing your concern for the circumstances too - it’s heartwarming to know that you were there for him and made good friends with him as elderly loneliness is such a terrible and heartbreaking thing

    Colin, you and your mates are lovely, warm, caring human beings. Ronnie lucked out making friends with you. Ronnie was such a lovely old codger. It's a shame - but at least he had you lot to care about him.
    The pigeons had ZERO clean water as well as food. I think they might be homing pigeons and Homers WON'T leave. You really need to call the RSPCA. You need to contact the RSPCA. It's a shame what happened to him, but you do need to contact the RSPCA to ensure his pigeons are looked after. I hope his cat is okay too. But THANK YOU for caring.

The video you made with him is one of my favorites as its not everyday you meet such a nice guy who is willing to talk about their cars, especially on video... He was a guy I could have chatted to for hours and would have loved every second of it! Not many of his caliber left in this world sadly... Rest in piece Ronnie.

    You've got me in tears. I'm so sorry for Ronnie and for yourself and overwhelmed that you care so much. Your compassion is just beautiful especially in this world where so few people care. You've pretty much driven from one end of England to the other to come and check on him And to check that things are above board. I was startled to see on the McDonald's receipt that its the only local (regional!) branch to me. It's brilliant to know that you were up this way but so very sad as to why. I just want to give you a hug to say thank you for this video and the reasons behind it 💖
