Here's the link, terrible news. Sounded like a guy with lots of knowledge, a real mainstay in VW performance. Street racing was what killed him, be careful people

While you're on there check out the tech articles by Mark, and the famous quaife test in the video section, now there's some donuts

I agree.

I never met the man, but he was there for fellow dubbers. He bacame an "icon" of the "industry", and was well respected.

I heard of the news not long after it happened, and it saddens me, and many others I am sure, that we have lost a great brother.

I can't give an Australian analogy, because we don't have anyone in Oz that is equivalent.
