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

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.
VW car, VW engine ......
keepin it "real"
