Neeshad Ali a.k.a Supersports another one of the early members of the club has asked me to pass on his respects and condolences to all of Perry's family and friends. Neeshad is now living back in Trinidad and has no internet access there, hence he has asked me to post. Like everyone else he will always remember Perry as a true inspiration and pioneer, and a difinite influence on his life. Thank you Perry for bringing so much happiness into so many people lives, God be with you.

To say I'm stunned is an understatement, I was only chatting with Perry on Thursday or Friday last week. Perry probably and without evening knowing it was the main reason my car has got to where it is today. When I first came on the site about 3 1/2 years ago there were a few inspirational cars knocking about, but it always seemed that Perry had taken it to the next level. What made him such an inspiration was as has been mentioned his DIY attitude. Having seen what he was capable of, doing the work himself, inspired me to my own mods myself. Perry sold his Celica shortly after I joined the club, and then purchased the MR2 yet continued to visit the club on a regular basis to contribute. Whenever I wanted advice, or to talk through something Perry was always there willing to help; as I'm sure he was with many of the others on here. I was fortunate enough to meet Perry in person at JAE where he was driving the fully modded MR2 even though it seemed he'd only had it about 5 mins. Here's another picture of it in it's fully glory. I would happily give up a few weekends or a weeks holiday to help with the completion of his final project if whomever is organising it would like to get in touch. In the meantime I shall try my hardest to restore to its original standard the install that Perry built that I have recently aquired. My sympathy goes to all his family, he will be sorely missed.
