Collection in memory of Richard Black

[Stanky]

This month, rather than open a money pool for the usual running costs, we have decided to continue the AS tradition of raising money in memory of sadly departed member @Richard who is no longer with us.

Anything we raise will be donated in full to the family via @reb or donated directly to a nominated cause as the family wishes.

Anything anyone is able to give will be gratefully received, and we appreciate this even more in the present economic circumstances. The page we have created can be found HERE

The site's running costs this month will be covered by the AS admin team.

Lads, I can't begin to say how appreciated this is right now. Thank you so much!

He would be trying to issue refunds right now!

I'm already chancing my luck as it is! I don't need to be going the length of the country yet!

I initially thought somebody had bought a Volvo and was commencing a special lockdown collection mission...

Only met Richard a few times, but he sold the idea of an 850 to me by showing off the built in child seat in his car! I bought one from Andy_CMS and it is one of my favourite cars I’ve owned. RIP Richard, love to REB and family

You know what, I've had 850s for a while now and had completely forgotten about the built in child seat. Long may I not need it!

Wonder if we can raise enough for @reb to do a Volvo rescue from Sweden ?

Made my donation, unfortunately smaller than I would have liked.

That would be the dream. I've wanted to go for a drive around Scandinavia for a long time now.

Any donation is a donation!

Didn't know the guy really, and while money doesn't bring anyone back at least it can help do something in some small way.

Will give another few quid once pay day has arrived.

[Stanky]

I'm going to wrap this up next week if thats alright by everyone?

[Stanky]

Thankyou everyone for your donations, I'm going to send the money raised over to Reb later on today. Well done everyone, its a huge shame about the circumstances though.

[reb]

Thank you so much to everyone who donated, it's unbelievably helpful in these difficult times. I'm not really very good at this sort of thing, I must apologize!

[dollywobbler]

Don't be apologising! I think we're all glad it's helpful.
