As I am no longer the owner of a Vauxhall Omega and I have some things to deal with over the next few months, I have decided to leave the forum. Now, I know I have been there before, but I really have nothing to offer anymore.

I am delighted that the forum has been the success it has. This is way beyond what I planned when I originally toyed with the idea of this place. Whilst I had some input in the start of this place, I have taken a back seat for the past few months and it runs extremely well.

The team of TheBoy, MarksDTM, AutoAdict, Hotel21 and of course Laidback66 are more than capable of keeping this forum running most efficiently.

As said, I can no longer offer any useful input and can no longer contribute in a positive way, so it is time to bow out once and for all.

I am not leaving because of any tiff or handbags at dawn. I genuinely have things more influential on my life at the moment and wish to spend the next few months working through something with my family.

I would like to take this opportunity of thanking each and every one of you for making this forum the success that it is. I wish you all the very best for the future, whatever life throws your way. I would also like to thank the many who have supported me and sent wishes through my illness and I genuinely am grateful for your wishes and thoughts.

Unlike previous times, I will not be back this time. So this is farewell. Take care everyone and be good!

Couldn't have put it better myself. Sometimes it's not important to have the biggest vocabulary to say just the right thing.

Good luck Fin. Hope the op goes well.

Sorry to here your leaving fin, but your health and family are far more important to you than the forum, I'm glad that i met you at marks that time when i was with jamesv6cdx, you are a lovely bloke , i might see you again some time , take care x

Nickbat · « **Reply #19 on:** 06 October 2007, 21:31:35 »

Sad to see that you're moving on, Fin. You've been a great asset to the forum and, on a personal note, your help during my infamous cambelt change will never be forgotten!

I wish you all the best and hope, as others have said, that you'll pop your head round the door again at some point in the future.

Cheers

Nick

It's a shame any member who has to leave due to medical probs etc...
Maybe you should keep your log in and drop back in from time to time to let us know how you are getting on?

What ever you do, best of luck.

TheBoy · « **Reply #26 on:** 07 October 2007, 11:14:33 »

I won't say goodbye, as you cannot escape me - I know where you live and how to contact you! You will not escape me

In all seriousness, the very best wishes for your future, and I hope the next few months see your back made much more comfortable.

Your presence on here has always been an adventure, laughs, crys. You will be missed.

You know how to contact me if you want, and if ever you are passing, pop in for a cuppa.

It's been said many times on this thread and elsewhere, but I'm going to say it again anyway

All the best for the future matey, hope everything works out well

justme · « **Reply #30 on:** 07 October 2007, 21:54:26 »

Is this the end of an ERA ?, surely not the legendary McB ?
You stood out from the crowd on the other side, as you have here. Your departure will leave a huge hole not easily filled, it is not about the running of this site (which is well run by the rest of your crew), but more about what you, yourself brought to it with your presence, your posts have always been read, if only for the gauranteed laugh or wry smile.

We have not met but I feel that I have known you for a very long time, your contributions will be sadly missed. But McB I wish you and your familly the very very best for the future. and a big Thank you for all the contributions you have made to the well being of my miggy.

amigov6 · « **Reply #31 on:** 07 October 2007, 22:23:48 »

:)Thoughts are with you. We've shared the odd post (not that odd)! & hope you feel like popping in to say hello if & when you feel ready. Also thanks for your help in setting the forum up, it's become a way of life. You'll be missed.
Regards & wishes, Guy.

SP_3.2 · « **Reply #33 on:** 08 October 2007, 09:19:58 »

All the best hope things go well for you, you will be very much missed.

Markie · « **Reply #34 on:** 08 October 2007, 13:06:09 »

not sure i agree about Finlays " nothing worthwhile to contribute" statement :-/ The man has almost uncapped Omega/Automotive knowledge and rapier wit too boot. A sore loss.

But health is paramount. All the best Fin

bob.dent · « **Reply #35 on:** 08 October 2007, 13:09:28 »

Good luck Fin, I hope all goes well.

However, is this really farewell or just au revoir?

Guppy · « **Reply #36 on:** 08 October 2007, 19:13:07 »

I have not been on here long and only met a handful of members, I didn't get the opportunity to meet you but you have made me laugh on numerous occasions, so I sincerely wish you all the best with your health and your future, keep smiling, and once again love and best wishes to you and your family
