Hi,
This weekend my brother, Nick who was 22, and an avid Scooby nutter, died of a brain haemmorage.
Although not an active poster on this bbs he did read it a fair bit and relied on me to post things for him as his job frequently took him out of the country. He attended many meets though with me and came on several of the rolling road days at Well Lane.
He loved Subarus, ever since I got mine, and when he finally got his own just less than a year ago he was over the moon and immediately set about modifying it.
The result was this:
All he wanted was to get the magic 300bhp, and like me he lived for his car, he loved it.
The night before he died he attended the North West Subaru Club meet for the first time (he'd been away for all the others) and there's a photo of him in the post about this meet.
The reason I am posting this is that I know he would have loved to get together as many Subarus as possible to attend his funeral.
He would love nothing more than to hear those rumbling boxer 4s one last time.
So please, if you knew him and even if you didn't I would like to invite as many of you as possible to attend his funeral. I'd love to see a Subaru meet as a send off for him, because nothing would have made him happier.
I understand that a lot of you may not be able to spare the time, but if you can, and you want to, I would love for you to attend, even if you don't know us.
We don't know the funeral details yet but I will be posting them up later this week.
Many thanks.
Rich

Deepest sympathy to you and your family. Will rev my engine for him when I get home after work (I drive a van during the day)
