Ekona Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Very sad to hear this, but it can't have been an easy decision to make so I can only wish everyone at ESR all the very best for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 As others have said, I'm really sorry it has come to this, but the reasons are perfectly understandable. I too have benefited from Phil's sound advice and sensible deals in the past. It was great to not only buy a product but get good advice on fitting and maintaining it from a recognised expert in the field. I wish you, your colleagues and family all the best for the future, and I do hope that Phil continues to make a good recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maccaman Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 So sorry to hear this. Firstly I wish Phil all the best in achieving good health as this is paramount. ESR will be greatly missed for so many reasons, not least the people who ran it & worked there. I'm sure somebody will quickly employ those talents & therefore wish you success in the pursuit of new jobs. This community will never forget & will hope to have dealings with you in the future.

Wez21 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Cant really add much to what everyone has said, im so sorry you will be closing! I can honestly say I have never had better service from anyone over the years of modding, especially the atmosphere in the workshop! A workshop any of us would dream of owning!! All the best to you and your Dad, I hope he is home for xmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_350z Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I think your mum has made a brave and good decision - with the business still up and running, it would be hard to keep Phil away and focusing on the most important thing which is his full recovery. You know what dad's are like, they never listen... Wishing you, the rest of ESR, and of course Phil and your family all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriank Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Agreed a real loss to all 350Z owners. Wishing you and your family all the best in the future andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 sorry to hear this and all the best for the future, and i suppose as decisions go its not one that can't be undone in the future. with phil and andys expertise there is no reason they couldn't start up a new business in a couple of years time when phil is back to full strength. i'm fairly certain that because of his name and reputation it would be easy to rebuild a loyal customer base in a fairly short time. all the best for what ever you all do, and a speedy recovery for phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Even Liz now admits that I was lucky to have such great support getting my mods done She knows all the problems that I have thrown at ESR and every time I have come home smiling. I will even miss the little courtesy car. I will continue to show the ESR stickers with pride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWZ Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Gutted for you...ESR meant so much on this forum. BUT...Phil's health is more important than anything... Is the GT-R going as well? That will be very hard for Phil I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Always courteous, always helpful, the best advice, great mechanics - and fast too - good stock, good service. There is nothing more you could want from a company and it is a sad, sad day that you and the Z community is losing ESR. The best wishes to you all for the future.

bronzee Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Phil and the family come first. I'd like to wish you all, the best of luck. Please make sure you keep in touch here. Also I'm sure Fletch and Mark will have picked up some useful Zed knowledge, so make sure you guys keep in touch with the forum too, you never know some of the guys may follow you to where ever you next. By the way Andrew how is Phil getting on now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStric9x Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 This is sad news but as everyone says your dads health comes first.

Mathys Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 A big loss for the UK Z community. However health is the highest priority and decisions considiring this are never easy. Still can't wait to see a post from Mr. Phil himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
