I received the following email in my general (not car) inbox this morning, which I pass on to this forum, as Jo Lennon requests:

Hi
This is to a bunch of you from Jo - Clyde's wife. Clyde is dying and I do not expect him to last the week. He suddenly went downhill (not on skis I hasten to add!) at the end of last week and, cut a long,long story short, he is now in Sobell House Hospice where they are taking care of him. On Sunday morning when I went in to see him he said:"Jo, you have to let me go, I can't take any more."

So that is what Angus Thea and I are doing, the doctors could make him a little better and he could survive some more weeks, but we have all agreed that just breathing is not the same as living. All pretty tough, but he is so out of it on drugs he slips in and out of lucidity and he is ready to die now whereas, even a week ago, he was not. Don't text or try to call him as his phone is switched off. Can you pass this news onto anyone you think might be interested as I am not sure of all his friends and contacts in the Porsche, Bristol, work or off roading world.

with thanks - and, yes, I know that you all wish us well and that it was otherwise - so do we
Jo
