E30 Zone

With great sadness this post is to make people aware that one of our founder members and well respected long serving admin/moderator of the Zone passed away 2 adays ago.

Rest In Peace Iain
(HartgeH27)

A massive loss not just to the zone but to life in general.
Very sad times.

Shame, what caused his death? RIP.

His son Dean didn't say .

Ah. What will become of his Hartge H27, any idea?

I’ll miss our chats at lunchtime,
About cars, and nothing much at all,
Those moments on the phone with you,
Laughing, no matter big or small.

We’d drive our E30s in convoy,
Heading to a show, side by side,
I’d try to keep up with your H27,
But we both knew it was never going to happen.

At the shows, we’d laugh and joke,
You with your Werther’s on the dash,
You would always help anyone,
With parts in your stash.

It’s been a journey, what a ride,
And I’m so glad you were there
Goodbye, my good friend, rest in peace.

RIP

Lovely words Steve, thank you .

Mart.

Really sad news. Condolences to the family.
I never met the man but like many others benifitted from his posts and bought a dashmat from him.

Bloody sad news this
I saw it on Facebook and had to look again.
Due to Facebook, people forget how good the forum was and he helped make it what it is today.

R.I.P
