chirag1988 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 RIP Martin, although I never had the chance to meet you, would have been great to have accompanied you on a drive out. My condolences to the family Quote
AliveBoy Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Really nice guy, always went out of his way to help. Great loss Quote
Digsy Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 One of the finest gents you could ever hope to meet and a great friend. Life really isn't fair. Rest in peace big fella, I'll miss you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
davedutch Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I truly don't know what to add to all these messages of support. Martin, you were such a genuine and welcoming person, my thoughts are with your family at this really sad time. R.I.P. Quote
Darren-B Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Oh My, this is heartbreaking to read, I saw Chesterfields post on Facebook & it broke me. Martin was the first guy I met on this forum & urged me to come along to my first meet in 2007. I have no regrets in doing so, he welcomed me with a firm handshake & have had the pleasure in meeting so many others over the years within his invite. Truly a fantastic guy with such a kind heart & sole. Martin, friend of mine that has sadly gone, I really hope that we can have a LakeZ 2016 in his honour. RIP Martin you will be missed & remembered by many for the great guy you were 10 Quote
Lyndzzz Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Such a shock and so sorry to hear this. Martin was a genuine gent and someone I'd call a friend. He'll be very sorely missed! My love to Liz. R.I.P. Martinmac Quote
Mudman Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) I first met Martin in 1989 in The Falklands then brought together again 25 years later through the power of Zed on this forum. You may think Martin was a Zed fan but I know better and will always as an FNG, remember getting a ride with him up to The Death Star sat in the Pink Pig which roughly translated is - I was just posted into the Port Troop and needed a lift to the complex at RAF Mount Pleasant and he gave me a lift in a 1/2 tonne Land Rover painted pink and complete with a curly tail. Great Times and too many late nights, and plates of scouse. Happy memories of a wonderful human being it was an honour to have known Edited December 3, 2015 by Mudman 4 Quote
rothers2901 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) How sorry to hear of Martin's sudden passing. Truly a real gent and a person who would give his right arm to help anyone. My thoughts are with LIz and the family in this time of sorrow. He will be greatly missed. Edited December 3, 2015 by rothers2901 Quote
Pimm Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 One of the first members we met on our first zed meet in Chester with my other half 8 years ago, what a true gent. So sad this has happened, gutted for the whole family. RIP. x Quote
Paul K Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Very sorry to here this. I only knew Martin through this forum and for such a very short time. He helped me out and was friendly and welcome.

ph 7 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 So so sad to hear this terrible news. Our thoughts are with his family. Thoroughly top bloke and we will remember our times with him in the lakez fondly. Quote
Bockaaarck Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Remember meeting Martin as we arrived for our first Wales meet, must have been 2010. Such a friendly and welcoming man, we couldn't help but feel relaxed and in good company. A thoroughly lovely man and I'm shocked to hear this news. Always working tirelessly for the benefit of the club and members just because he loved doing it. Very sad indeed and my thoughts go out to Liz and family 2 Quote
Kraziekatz1 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Very sad news. Unfortunately I was never lucky enough to meet him in person but I remember him helping me out when I first joined the forum. Thoughts go out to his family & friends x Quote
Mondo 300 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I only met Martin for the first time at LakeZ this year and I was hoping I'd get to meet him more often than that... this is the man who enabled me to meet my childhood crush (Toyah) in the flesh...!! RIP, Martin... such a sad, sad loss... 2 Quote
AndyG8nby Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 RIP Martin, gutted one of the nicest guys you would ever meet and gave me some great memories that I will never forget. Thoughts are with Liz and his family. Quote
R35LEE Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Absolutely devastating news. RIP Martin and thank you for everything you have done for the forum and me over the years.

gaz300 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I knew Martin through the forums also and he worked with me in helping to launch the JAE thread with the 3 Z clubs. A great Ambassador to the Z scene and he will be sorely missed. On behalf of the Committee and members of 300zx.co.uk we would like to send our condolences to his wife and family. 2 Quote
gort Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 So sorry to hear this, met him on a few occasions @ Cartmel organizing his annual mini meet, RIP Martin :-( Quote
neo Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Sad Sad News indeed when i went to the wales meet a few years back, Martin was the first person to greet me, smile as big as a cheshire cat, fag in one hand and out stretched hand,gave me small hug afterwards when he realised i was Neo The world is indeed a poorer place. 3 Quote
NeilMH Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Very sorry to hear this news. Martin also helped me....... on another forum before I came on here. Quote
veilside z Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I am so sorry to hear of this sad sad news, and was awaiting the updates with anticipation, but to open this is devastating. My thoughts are with the family and sure that he had bought a lot of happy times with all he came across. Martin first helped me when I first joined the club back in 2010 with my way around the forum and making my first appearance at Japfest with the club stand, a happy and enjoyable experience. Martin, having been an iconic member of this group for such a long time, he will be sadly sadly missed, but one thing is for certain is that ... he Will Never be forgotten. God Bless you buddy xXx Quote
rothers2901 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 could anyone who knows Martin's and Liz's home address please PM me with it. Quote
