RIP Tommy Bishop

Post by Pine »

Message below as received from Tom Bishop. From all at us at ACVWSA, our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. May God give you the peace that you seek.

"Hey guys. It is with sadness that I announce that my Dad, Pops, Tommy Bishop passed away this morning. He was one of the true original car enthusiasts with a super knowledge of most cars. It is to him that I owe my technical knowledge today. RIP Pops.🙏"

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

That is Tom Bishop, who is still alive and well. It is his father Tommy who has sadly passed away. The pic of the yellow buggy is of uncle Tommy in his younger years.
