RIP Mr. Bob Isles of Bristol

Postby Micktype WR1 » Sat Mar 24, 2012 3:21 pm

I am sad to have to report the death of Mr. Bob Isles.
He passed away in the early hours of Sat 17th March. He was 61.

Bob was known to a lot of people in the world of Scoobies having owned several, created online forums in the early days. Some will have known him from South West Scoobies and his last club, Bath & Bristol Scoobies. He was a member on here for a while before selling his last one, his WR1, to me in 2007.
He was highly respected and a true gent and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. His wife Tricia, in true car club style, has asked people to use forums to notify all of you of his passing.

For some time I've been meaning to get a canvas done of a fave pic of what was his WR1 and finally received it last Thursday. 2 days later, Bob died.

Here is a version of that picture......




RIP Mr. Bob Isles.
