Re: RIP Dubster
How can such be classified as 'crime'? This is anarchy!!! I mean, 8 men, some armed to rob a household?eben wrote:One of Dubsters friends on here (vlekki) has since told me that the newspaper reports were inaccurate. Stephen was working on the subybug with his dad when 8 attackers arrived at around 19:00. So it wasn't a hi-jacking as the paper reported.
I pray and hope that justice will prevail.

Re: RIP Dubster
Dubster's family,
May Dubster R.I.P. My condolences to his family and his girlfriend. This has become a too familiar sight, the sheer cowardice and senseless nature of these crimes.

Re: RIP Dubster
Ive been lost for the past 2 weeks and only see this now.
This is so sad condolences to the family and all the friends and loved ones,
Id also like to take this time for thanking all you guys for being such a great crowd. Times like these ACVWSA pulls together and we're there for one another each way we can. Reading all this posts just shows what a bunch of great guys you all are and of course Dubster was one of us, and I am proud to be a member of this close-knit community of enthusiasts, and more so friends!
RIP DUbster!

Re: RIP Dubster
At the risk of sounding insensitive, I think we should have his tribute image up for this week. But we must not forget Stephen Coetzee and how we lost a fellow VW nut.
Removing his image will not be 'putting it away and forgetting about it' but we have to move on and honour him by taking caution in our surroundings and our actions.
May we all be safe going forward.
Dubster, we will never forget you buddy.
