I'm very saddened to hear of Charlie Watt's passing. I've been a Stones fan since the beginning. Still love them. I read Charlie was a car collector, although he didn't drive. I guess he enjoyed just sitting in his cars. I can relate, having spent many hours sitting, gazing down the hood (bonnet) at the radiator mascot. Can anyone shed any light on what he had in his garage?

Joe

Very sad.....he had a unique style with a simple kit, difficult to replicate the perfect timing without being late. Steve Jordan has some big and very dapper, shoes to fill.

He was a drumming icon, such a simple way of approaching it all made anything he did look effortless.
