Kevin Cross and Roland Lina are both really sad to hear our good old friend JA has passed. We spoke at length about all the good times we shared in the day. SIMU motor services etc. We not only worked hard together, we played hard together. His particular expertise in doing mini clutches was legendary. And we vividly recall the day he purchased his bright red GT Falcon Shaker. He was so proud of it and he kept it immaculate. John was always one to give people nicknames. Kevin became BC and I became DC ( please don’t ask why) And that stuck. We even had our formal invitations addressed to BC & DC ! It must be a difficult day for you and your family. Kevin (New Plymouth) and I (Auckland) just wanted to extend our sympathy and thoughts to you all. Warmest regards Roland Lina and Kevin Cross
