John Spinks 1956-2002
Photos
Excuse the Photo on this page - this was John circa 1983. Yes, that really was all his own hair.
I'll endeavour to add those stories that are publishable and probably a few that ain't. So sorry if we offend, but John was like that - you couldn't take offence.
Feel free to send any photos you have and I'll endeavour to get them up.

Karen would you really wear that dress again? or was it a Jean Varon as our friend Joan would say!
For those of you that don't know that story ask Karen .. I've used it many a dinner party to great effect in fact me and John discussed it at our last lunch!.

This was John begging forgiveness for trashing the car the only way he knew how by making me laugh.
I found it amongst some photo's last year (yet another prompt to track him down).
He denied writing it but unfortunately both the humour and the scrawl was pure Spinks.

John and the Ferrari his pride and joy he wanted one and had one (big thanks to Karen) its nice to achieve some of those ambitions in life and for a petrol head like John well he did well for a Dagenham boy!
