You will never be forgotten mate!Prawn, make that mini show quality, so that everyone who lay eyes on it, will know and appreciate the memory of Oli, as thats what he deserves!

Mark W Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I hate the way that everyone immediately thinks of money in this sort of instance, but what about setting up a fund to help get that Mini finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 That is a tragedy. Only knew him from the forum but he seemed like such a nice bloke. I can't even begin to comprehend how his close friends let alone his family and mother must feel like. My sheer condolences...We must believe he's in a better place now. Rest in peace dude..

Rich Pearson Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 never seemed or spoke like the kind of person to drive at the limit or anything.It's not entirely clear what you're saying there, but at present there is no reason to believe that human error, or any other single factor played any part in what has happened, so if we could refrain from speculation and keep the responses to condolenses and happy thoughts, I'm sure it would be much appreciated.Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I hate the way that everyone immediately thinks of money in this sort of instance, but what about setting up a fund to help get that Mini finished?I think it's a good idea, but I have sen several posts directed at Prawn saying make sure you get the mini finished.Why is it his responsibility?

Mark W Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 By all accounts I would imagine that Oli would want to go at the wheel of his car, it meant the entire world to him, and was a true credit to his amazing skills, I am simply gutted that his Mini was never finished, as he genuinely lived for that car.I will do my best to see that the mini is finished.In relation to this.

Prawny Baby Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I have seen several posts directed at Prawn saying make sure you get the mini finished.Why is it his responsibility?I owe it to Oli, and I honestly dont think anyone else could. I have been with Oli every stop of the way, and I know every last tiny detail of how he wanted it built.We have genuinely spent Hundreds of hours (literally) discussing his plans for the mini, and now, the project oli always wanted remains only as an image in my head.Almost all the parts are there, we just need a few more bits to finish it, then a lot of time assembling.Ill speak to Olis parents about it soon.

Mark W Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 It felt weird renaming it. Hopefully it'll stop anyone like that person who just read the first post then put "Hope you're OK mate" or whatever it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Manning Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Oli was a top guy, never met a nicer bloke.My thoughts go out to all his family and friends especially throughout the festive season and into the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
