The prestigious National Car Club of the Year is presented in association with Tourism Ireland, supported by Classic Car Weekly and endorsed by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs.

A Tribute to Jim Thorne

August 16, 2018 By webmaster

As most of those who knew Jim will be aware, he died in June. He had been a member of the Club for many years and was a regular participant at pub meets and rallies, both in this country and abroad. It was typical that when he realised something was wrong while on last Autumn’s Yorkshire rally, he said nothing and his amusing account of the Saturday for last Autumn’s Big End, written in his unique, witty and very readable style, gives no clues. However within a couple of weeks he was in hospital where eventually he was diagnosed with the brain tumour that killed him at the age of only 71. Tributes to Jim have been many, varied and effusive. What follows is a distillation of merely some of the comments and reflections on his life from many of the people who clearly feel his loss greatly. The extent to which he will be missed shows just how he made his mark. His knowledge, wit and kindness plus genial demeanour made him excellent company on every occasion and many of us wanted to be like him. A 1600-mile, eight-day, marathon trip to Switzerland with Jim involved not a cross word, nor a tense moment, and he was an excellent navigator too. He appealed to all ages and leaves a legacy of good memories. He was an intelligent and interesting man, with humane understanding and a vast intellect, which he wore lightly. He had the rare ability to listen to the other side of the argument, a friend who’d offer advice but was non-judgmental. He was knowledgeable and stimulating, … [Read more...]
