It still feels surreal thinking that Andy is no longer around. No longer here to give us a few words of advice, a bit of jovial banter a bit of his Scottish wit. The world's a poorer place without him.
Its quite an achievement to affect people who you hadnt ever met, so much, when you die.
In one respect Im surprised, but in another not, because people all seem to expressing sentiments similar to my own.
I genuinely liked Andy from the first time that I spoke to him, which is a rare occurance; but it hadnt occured to me that everyone else who conversed with him here felt the same.
Im Really glad I've just noticed this. I never knew him or even exchanged pm's with Andy, but i will always remember reading his thread from when he bought his T20 last year. His enthusiasm for the brand, and happiness that came across from reading about his new toy really left a mark on me, and I don't know why? It seems from reading comments from those that knew him, that this was his way of life and it obviously came across in his posts.
Location: It's like finding a cocktail sausage, when what you really wanted was a rather large saveloy.

Not being such a SN regular as I used to be, I only just found out about Andy on another forum. Condolences to his partner, and his family. He was much liked here on SN, and if this was anything to go by, I can only begin to imagine what a great guy he was in 'real life'.
Like some others I'm not as frequent a user of SN as I used to be but Andythejock is without doubt a name I recognise.
A fellow Scot, cyclist and SN user. A true loss to this community but as much as we'll miss his contributions it will pale into comparison to the loss his family and close friends will feel. To them I pass on my sincerest condolences. RIP Andythejock. Keep pedalling up there.
Only just seen that he'd died, can't believe it. We 'spoke' quite a bit about cycling on here, especially when I said about commuting. Such a shame he was killed doing just that.
RIP Andy, you were well respected on here as well as in real life.
Oh my goodness, I bought Andy's green WRX from him last year. I was looking on google for his phone number as I was wanting to ask him something about the car.
I then came across BBC web site about this tragic incident.
I am really sorry to hear this, I only met Andy and his girlfriend briefly but he came across a lovely gent. It was on Andy's advice that I registered for this website. I feel for his family and friends
