I first met Mike back in 2006 at Donington race track where he was showing his DeLorean along with 2 other DOC members (Claire and Phil)
He was the DOC secretary at the time and I was the web editor, so we had plenty to chat about regarding the direction of the club and website.
But most importantly, as said by everyon here, he was such a gent and the banter was brilliant.
He then gave me my first and only ride in a DeLorean for numerous laps around Donnington, which I have lots of footage for!!
Here's a pic at Donington - making sure those tyres are blacked up
My thoughts are with Mike's family.
