It is a sad day when a top bloke passes away, it is a Very Black day when a truely awe inspiring bloke passes. It is with a very heavy heart I write this morning. Sadly Perry Byrnes (Perry190) passed away during the weekend. He was an inspiration both directly and indirectly to most people on here. He helped and supported many of us and was always there when you needed him.
Perry was one of the senior / founder members of the club and I first met him around 4 -5 years ago. At one of our first club meets even back then he had the most modified car and during the proceeding years he continued to be a leader in the modifying field. He first started with the Thrnder Grey beast, which then turned blue, he then moved onto an MR2 which was duely modded including a very awesome PE turbo. He then moved onto a GT4 which was possibly the quickest transofrmation ever and was a beautiful car. After this Pezzer decided to calm down a bit and moved onto a Porsche Boxter. The draw of the darkside was too much for him and he even improved the looks of an already awesome looking car. His current project is a widebody MR2 and as a mark of respect and a tribute to Perry a group of us are going to complete this car for JAE.
Pezzer you were a true inspiration to me and your passing is a huge loss to me and us all. We will all miss you so much and please make sure the big feller's car in heaven is modded to your standards and not of us mere mortals!
Here a some pictures of the great man and his family and friends would appreciate any stories you would care to share along with any pictures of his work.
Rest Easy mate
