It is with deep regret that I am extremely sad to announce the passing of a true zoner, gentleman and friend to many. Steve Stead aka 'e30topless' passed away a few days ago and will truly be missed by family and friends from all corners. Funeral arrangements will be announced when known. There is no further information at the moment, a truly sad time for a lot of people. Condolences to his wife Michelle and children. RIP Steve Stead

What the hell, I was having banter with him on Instagram few weeks back!
He was a true gent, spent many a days with him and he even did my drive.
You’ll be sadly missed Mr Stead and thanks for time we had.

Very sad news, only knew him from giving great advice here on the forum, and he must have been a great guy as he has a brilliant taste in cars. Condolences to his family.

Very sad to read this. From my experience, "Topless" was an old school zoner, knowledgeable and a very decent guy. RIP.

This is just the worst news he was a legend and will be greatly missed
I hope as many of the old skool zoners can attend his funeral and maybe give him a proper e30 send off

Totally gutted. There’s not many people out there that would do for everyone what Steve would do. I talk to him most days and as usual chat crap to each other.
Massively gonna be missed

Hi Iain,
It's highly unlikely I'm afraid, I'm scheduled to be working away.

Who’s going to the funeral ? There’s two of us from Scotland, staying overnight, We’ll be easy to spot.
Great job by Iain and Phil with the fundraising also. Respect.
