Gio Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 RIP Mike. Always a gent and a mine of knowledge. He helped me and all of my Zs over 25 years. A big loss to the Z community. Condolences to his friends and family - and cat. I understand the ZClub is planning some form of memorial after they've heard from the family.

veilside01702 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 You will be missed Mike.... I used to enjoy popping over for a chat and to see how full your lounge was with Z parts... It doesn't seem like 19 years ago I first met him, when I bought my Z..... That was when he was in his old house with a very large outbuilding full of parts to rummage through.... As everyone that knows him has already said, He was a true Gent, helpful, patient and always welcoming! R.I.P. Mike.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surreyseagull666 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Blimey this is the first time ive been back for about 3 years and first story i click on is Mikes death.I knew him and Ken Chelton RIP back in the day when South East Z club held meetings at the halfway house. i got my first 280zx which Ken modded with bits from Mike.Then i had a 280zx 2 seat pile of rust home fitted with a janspeed turbo kit which Mike bought from me.Various 260Zs that Mike provided bits for with his USA contacts and i remember watching him drag race from the bronze 240z with v8 chevvy to the 280zx with big block.Shit what a great start to coming back into the z fold!!!.He was an unbelievable mind of information on every Z/ZX which i dont think will ever be matched.RIP Fella very probably the biggest Z/ZX fan in the UK....
