Very sad indeed, all our sincere condolences to the family, he was indeed a very determined guy and from what I read he wasn't going to let it go without doing anything,

I remember just on a year ago we went to the the VW Logo day together when his car overheated on the highway and as determined a he was we had to tow him there but he stil drove it into the formation even though the car was not right,

Pics of while he was still going strong and being towed,

Rest in peacy Buddy, you will be missed,

Remember that day myself Bratjie.

Was actually the last time I saw him and talked to him properly. Still quite bummed.

Hope you're in a better place bud.

Vlekki, hoe gaan dit met Stephen se familie?
Het sy pa-hulle voortgegaan met die restourasie van Stephen se Beetle?
Dit is so `n tragedie...

Is die moordenaar ooit gearresteer?
