Rest In Peace Fast_ian

So sorry to hear this. RIP Ian. He made our corner of the internet a delight with his posts.

Thank you freshmeat for making the trip.

 

Looking over his old posts he said he was a mechanic not a driver.

FFS sad, rip

Ian had a passion for futbol and was always great to correspond with over our mutual love of the beautiful game.

 

Thank you very much for doing this. I'm quite shocked and of course very saddened by this news. Ian will be missed for sure.

Wow, just saw this, so sad.

RIP, Ian it was always great conversation and you will be missed greatly at the VC hillclimb.

 

I got banned with Ian some years back and we were at loggerheads over something stupid but when we both got back on we became good fchat mates and he offered to buy me a drink , but I think it will be me buying him the drink if there is an after-life.

I really enjoyed his candour and respect for specific people like Michael , his insight and understanding of the efforts of ALL the teams ......... we did agree immensely on our dislike of McLaren

Rest well old mate and rest assured the Scuderia will rise again and I'll have a toast to your good self

Cheers

John

 

RIP Fast Ian.

I don't post much at all, but I read the F1 forum a lot. Which means I read you a lot, as so many others must have done. Thanks for all the wonderful posts.

RIP Ian, I'm very sorry to read this.

You are all an unusual group. FastIan helped me, a noob, with my questions. All of you searched for FastIan.

I am sorry that FastIan died: I am glad I had a brief over-the-Internet connection with him. I am sorry that FastIan's death has caused you sorry and made a hole in each of your lives. I am glad that I have an over-the-Internet connection with you who care.

Father, grant mercy to FastIan, his family and to all of his friends here on FerrariChat.

 

May Ian rest in peace.

 

Very sad to hear...With an insight in the theme one saw he knew what he was talking about. Always enjoyed his posts and anecdotes...RIP Ian

 

RIP FastIan. One of the genuinely nice posters in the F1 forum and clearly well respected. So sad to lose quality from the team, but his posts will remain as a lasting record of his insight, wit and charm.

Thanks Fresh for taking on a journey you didn't need to take. Respect.

 

This is a genuine shock. RIP to one of the great ones.

 

Wow. RIP, will miss him posting on here.

 

Guys,

I did also leave a note behind, expressing condolences on behalf of all of the fchat community and also whether if we could pay our respects and help in any way. I left my personal contact information and if I hear back I will pass it along to any of you who would also be inclined.

 

Well done

 

Very nice and thoughtful gesture, thanks.

RIP Ian, thanks for everything.

 

Peaceful journey, Ian. We'll miss you around here.

 

You're a gent, A.

Thank you

 

Tragic news.Rest in Peace Ian.

Thanks Fresh,for going the extra mile.

 

Yes, thanks for going the extra mile. So sorry to hear this.

RIP Ian, you will be sorely missed.....

 

I guess it says a lot about a person you never actually met that when something bad happens you are truly saddened by their passing. I guess I never realized how someone here can become what I would consider a friend. I am truly saddened by the news. RIP and I will miss your insight and knowledge. One less person to learn from is a terrible loss.
