We've not heard from gwaii for a while, but if you're putting a v12 into a gt6, we need to see pictures. All the guys here like pictures.

I do wish he would update this, or at least let us know he is still alive, and how the car is doing.

He's probably just busy.

Dude, come on. Hate talk like that.

Does anyone actually have personal contact information for Gwaii? He's got a family, kids, and honey-do's. I just hope he has just been ignoring TRS, and that's all.

i know, I hate thinking it too, but sadly it is a possibility, I wonder often how many of our members actually have connections who would let the forum know if something happened to them. I know I don't... Chance did, which even though his death was tragic, it's nice that the forum was able to find out, and arrange an event for him (if I recall correctly, this all happened about the same time as I joined the site)

I feel like maybe Sasquach has his info, or maybe some of the alaska guys, from when the banner was up in that area

His last name is Lilley. If he's got a problem with me posting that he can come tell me so, and give us an update while he's at it.

Weezl got me worried so I've been scouring the net. Most recent sighting of activity seems to be from November on a British car forum, no posts just active on site. That's where I found the last name.

Google search also led me to a YouTube video of him flying into The Outpost that was posted about 7 months ago. I'm actually envious for a change. If I could hang out in a place like that I wouldn't visit TRS either.

I'm pretty certain that he's still alive, just has better stuff to do than post here.

Right on, man. That's relieving to read. :)

Glad he's living life. not wishing or dreaming to do it one day in the future. No better time like right now, in the moment.

Good stuff. I tried to send him an email to the address he is registered to TRS with but it failed to send as the email was no longer active.

MountainMike has been to visit him, he might still be able to get in contact with him. But glad to hear he's been active somewhere more recently.
