Default brenx

Its with deepest regrets that brenx has passed away I know he was a regular on here and the older guys from the drag days would know who he is. He was rebuilding the car and with his passing im taking the car to rebuild it for him it was what he wanted so look out guys in 2016 at the aff day that green machine will run a 10 like he always wanted.

Sorry to hear the news, was it health or an accident?

Brenx bought a shifter off me years and years ago in the early days of the net, saw him on many forums and watched his car progress.

Default Re: brenx

geez, this sucks. I know both him and I never saw eye to eye on some things on the forum but to hear that we have lost one of our own long standing members is devastating.

RIP mate.
