Ok. This is what I can figure out about the family tree.
Vincent J Ross is John's father. He lives in Derby, UK and posts from
"The IP Address is: 62.252.108.135. The host name is: m135-mp1.cvx1-c.hud.dial.ntli.net"
Helen.E.Ross is John's mother. She also lives in Derby and posts from
The IP Address is: 62.252.104.247. The host name is: m247-mp1.cvx1-b.hud.dial.ntli.net
Stephanie Ross is his wife. She lives with him (I would imagine) in London. She posts from
"The IP Address is: 62.252.108.16. The host name is: m16-mp1.cvx1-c.hud.dial.ntli.net
All The Staff are his employees at his dealership in London. They post from
"The IP Address is: 62.252.108.82. The host name is: m82-mp1.cvx1-c.hud.dial.ntli.net There are a couple times when Stephanie has posted right after this name asking if they were at home or at the office. Her post and All The Staff's posts are 8 minutes apart and came from the exact same computer.
F SYTNER owns a competing dealership. He posted in John's tribute thread. He posts from
"The IP Address is: 62.252.108.63. The host name is: m63-mp1.cvx1-c.hud.dial.ntli.net"
CRYDER is the Contract Services Department at his dealership. They post from:
"The IP Address is: 62.252.106.254. The host name is: m766-mp1.cvx1-b.hud.dial.ntli.net" This user mentions that Stephanie sent emails to the employees encouraging them to register and post in this thread. If they are getting email then it would be logical to believe that they have more than one computer. Interesting how all the employees seem to post from the same one then, eh?
Mr E Halshaw owns a dealership somewhere. He even has a website listed in his sig. He lives in Milton Keynes, Northfield, UK. I don't think that is London. Want to guess where he posts from?
"The IP Address is: 62.252.108.38. The host name is: m38-mp1.cvx1-c.hud.dial.ntli.net"
That pretty much does it for the tribute thread. I'm sure there are more. Here is some more interesting info...
Stephanie posts 15 minutes before Vincent J Ross from the same computer that Vincent posts from and supposedly they are hours apart from each other.
Boyer Coe made a very interesting post in John's tribute thread. "John you have been a great help to me over the past couple of months, and thank you for your £15,000 donation to my charity it was and still is greatly appreciated.Cancer reseach is still though a bottom less pit.
You are undoubtly a very powerful man, and needless to say a loved man by all your family and friends. As the saying goes behind every great man there is a great woman. I will keep in touch my friend, if there is anyone in the world I wish i could be it would be you. I like to think of you as my brother, as you have been more of a family to me as I have ever had.
Maybe one day if i am lucky i could have a wife who is as caring as yours."
SidB wrote a very touching tribute.
"Your Are The Phenom Of Autopia
Men , women & teengers who have looked at this post by your nice wife love you all over the world. They love you in calgary, they love you in Boston, Texas, Belgium, the UK, Australia, China, you are hailed as a phenom.
You are the conscious of Autopia. You have gained respect and great admiration from people who have seen you and your family in a new light. Autopia is a better place for having your presence.
Autopians John is one of a kind.Dont forget that. You have our respect. I can firmly say when people view your threads in future they will always remember who you are, what you stand for, how many people admire you and why you have become one if not the most loved people here. The impact you have had on Autopia has been astounding.
Overall, family is what counts you have a family that is dedicated to you and your causes.I wish you well in the future. You have a fine wife at your side, and may i say gorgeous as well ( i saw her photo once on a thread you(john) posted not to mention that wedding photo.
This thread is incredible.Please never remove it. This should always have 5 stars as a rating. Those who vote any less have not understood the friendship John has with people here who make Autopia what it is today. By unintentionally upsetting his wife who has put so much effort to getting so many replies and achieving a 5 star rating him a lot of Autopians who have put there names down here would be upset if this fell down to a 4 star, not to mention the man in question John. This is a truely historical thread. Job well done Steph.
I wish you a safe return home. I will send you a PM later on in the week.
If you are ever in Texas, dont hesitate to call remember i am only a phone call away."
Oh, one more thing. Would it suprise you to know that all those people have an @phantomemail.com email account?
