you never really comprehend how much love you have for a car untill your eyes tear up as you read of the passing on of the creator of the car you struggle so much with but cant let go of and cant stop loving and putting hard earned money sweat and blood into. i didn't know him but can't help but to have feelings in knowing of his passing.

Sadly, a great master has passed. BUT ! His spirit will not be forgoten...,for every time you sit in the seat and grip the wheel you can feel the gifts he has left us.
When you drive your car in the true spirit for which he intended, you yourself become a monumet. With this, his memory will live on forever.
