Hiya Dave, I was just googling Brummagem for old times sake and found this forum.
Hope all is well mate - I was 19 last you saw me, I'm a 46 year old now with a family! Dam time goes for sure.
It's Nick, Glens sidekick who used to paint & do all the the mouses ears & flashes if you remember - almost put you out of work haha, but I was way too slow on lettering - I did actually sign-write 'Challenger' when you weren't available, I was so proud of that
It's late on a Saturday, let me get back in touch & I have some pics from the late 80's including yourself - plus those weekend 'foreigners' me & Glen used to do & you finished the lettering.
They were great days and I have superb memories of Brummagem, even when Victor skinned a bloody rabbit in the canteen.
I'm trying to get back in touch with Glen. Last saw him maybe 9 years ago completely random when I was exhibiting at NEC and he was unloading a wagon.
Cheers and all the best.
Nick
PS - I no longer have a ponytail & shaved head, the corporate world beckoned after my degree, so I sort of toned it down

Hello Keith, Nick here who used to work with Glen in the paint shop late 80's (I was only 18 then with a ponytail & part shaved head haha, now late 40's bit more grown up sort of & 3 kids etc) Hope all is well mate & I remember painting the Brunel & Gooch. They were special agreed & If I remember rightly didn't one have a CCTV camera so you could steer from inside if raining? Or maybe that was another? I do remember it being so hi-tech at the time & it was bought by a Doctor if I remember. Anyway, all the best if you read this. I'm going to contact Dave Moore too as I have some good pics from the old days. Going to get back in touch with Glen too. Yeah, good times man for sure - Stood me in good stead for later life too. PS - Where did Victor end up? I often think of him & all you others Cheers and all the best Nick
