Today would have been my Father-in-law John's 79th Birthday. Unfortunately, just a few months after retiring as a self-employed builder his lungs decided they were no longer compatible with all the asbestos he breathed in back in the fifties and sixties.
He was a car fanatic, and a biker back before I knew him. He was obsessed with Formula One and specifically Renaults. He wasn't what you could call a bright Lad, his Wife ordered all his skips and things and he "just built stuff". However, he was great to talk to on Cars and Bikes and we regularly took the piss out of each others motoring preferences.
On day he asked me to drive him out to a dealer to collect a Renault 21 Turbo. All the way there I had one song on loop in my car while he gabbled on about his new car. He never noticed.
