he was a cheeky bastard - I remember (being open and nieve like I am) and asking about where you could buy kidney belts for those of us more generously proportioned................................what do you think Magoos answer was (never one to let a chance go by)...........................................buy two and stitch them together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Farewell Magoo , it was a privillage to have met you and shared a few cold ones  :)
Mate you truly encompassed the spirit of VMX and your premature departure has left a huge hole .
Your memory and the legacy of Magoo will live on for generations of VMXers
Condolences to Bruces family and close friends , as we say over here he truly was a GOOD Bastard .

No doubt your old boy got everything ready for you up there Magoo, plenty of love, strapped  two wheels on to everything that wouldn’t roll, dipped it in red and tanked it up with a gold wing on each side. Ring a ding dang Bruce, thanks for the entertainment, the kind deeds and the privilege.

Snowy - I am like you - I haven't deleted his personal messages off this forum yet - keeps reminding me of his "atrocious" sense of humour.

I got an email from Ann this morning and she's doing remarkably well considering the circumstances. A few of us are getting together with her and the kids sometime in the next few weeks which I'm sure will be one of those happy/sad occasions.
