NorwegianBlue...Condolences - please read
Neil's wife Sarah got in touch with me to leave a message on the forum:
Dear all,
I just wanted to let you know that Neil (NorwegianBlue) passed away last Monday after a long battle with cancer. I have met some of you guys and and know how much Neil enjoyed the rapport he had with you and your cars on the 'Z' drives. The last week has not been easy, and I am sorry that I could not tell you all personally.
Kind regards,
Sarah
I met Neil on several occasions, most recently in July on the last Yorkshire cruise I ran. He then was clearly poorly but in good form. I always thought Neil was a great bloke, a gent and a true Z enthusiast. He will be missed and my thoughts are with his family now.

Z3M with a few mods...and a little bit more power
That is so so sad.
Neil was a regular attendee on the early Drive and Dines in his Phoenix yellow S54 and his car was one of the famous 3 phoenixs we had lined up one night.
He was the keeper of the S54 database and I know he wanted to find all 73 rhd cars.
He was a super bloke and will be sadly missed indeed.
Marise and I offer our sincerest condolences to Sarah and family.
Our thoughts are with you.
RIP Neil

I'm so sad to read this.
While I've been out of the Zed world for years now, I can clearly remember that it was through Neil that I got the bug for all things Phoenix Yellow and S54.
I'd gone round to his house to buy some chrome side gills for my old Z3, saw his Phoenix Yellow beauty on the drive, and there and then knew that in due course I had to have one. And I did.
As others have said, a great guy who did such a lot for this little community.

I never had the opportunity to meet Neil but we conversed a couple of times Re the S54 Register.
My condolences go to His Wife Sarah and Family

Really sad news.
As others, he and I conversed many times about the S54 register.
We would always email each other straight away when we found another car or piece of information to add to the list.
I shall see that spreadsheet with different eyes and feelings from now on.
My condolences to his family.

I never met Neil but as said it was quite obvious from his posts he was very passionate about the Z3 and a great loss to this community.
My condolences to his family he will be fondly remembered.

Have been reading some of neil`s posts and he was a true Zedder. Deepest sympathy to the family. Paul (South Wales)
I only met Neil once on the Yorkshire cruise this year, he was a nice fella. Condolences to his wife and family.

Such sad news
I thought I was all alone in Lincolnshire with my S54 and then one day, filling up Sharky with 99ron in Tesco's Lincoln,.............. I thought I was hallucinating................
A phoenix yellow S54 drove straight in front of me......... I think we were both as surprised as each other to see two such rare beasts in close proximity!
Neil was visiting his Mum.
I posted up a 'spotted' and he replied it was him.
I parked up between him and Paul (Spunky M- black S54 on the Yorkshire Cruise)
It was lovely to finally meet and they were both so kind to me ( even though I am a girl) and full of info and enthusiasm for my car.
He will so sadly missed and such a hard act to follow. God bless.
