Malcolm Orm

Dear all,

not sure if you know but I have just been made aware that Malcolm Orm passed away, after being hit by a car as pedestrian. He was a great man and helped us many times with our cars. It is a great loss for us, and probably many of us.

What awful news. I met Malcolm a couple of times and he was indeed one of the people that we are indebted to for keeping so many XMs going.

I'm out of the country, otherwise i would attend his funeral. I hope there's an XM tribute worthy of his work...
