Didn't know of him personally but none the less, still so sad to hear of something so tragic happening to someone so young :(
R.I.P

I don't think I got to ever speak to Gav, but R.I.P mate!

Never knew gav other than from seeing his posts. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

As a parent its got to be harder still that it was at someone elses hands in what sounds like an unroadworthy car.

R.I.P

Just logged in to say R.I.P Japman

always sad to hear news like this......R.I.P gav

Nice touch with the sax-p logo simo...

thoughts go out to his friends and family.....

wow i did not know him myself but rest in peace mate

Its nice to see all the old guys back on to pay their respects

Really sorry to hear this

Thoughts with his Dad.

R.I.P Japman, condolences to his family. Always looked at him as being one of the big members on here, really sad that this has happened. :(

shit! :(

Only just seen this.

Such a shock. Only met him at one of the shows, but that banter was brilliant.

Was a great lad!

terrible to hear!!

R.i.p man!!

this is a bit strange for me, i am a member of this but never posted.

My boyfriend and another mate had gone with gav yesterday. its so tragic what has happen and all gavins mates are with his father and grandparents making sure they are not alone. i am a good friend of gavins girlfriends and as you can imagine she is unbearable right now. his mate hughsy and my boyf jamie are in a state of shock at the moment and are trying their best to keep everyone busy and making sure no one is left alone.

he was a star guys, a very very funny guy.

i will make sure a member of his family see's this thread when the time is right, and i just want to say that we are doing a few things for him here, we are collecting for a bench which we wil put on aberavon beach, we are also doing a small memorial cruise and we will probably be arranging something for his birthday which is in 2 weeks.

so its just to say thanks from one bunch of his mates to another for your messages at this really sad time.

we will of course let you all know tha arrangements.

RIP Gav..... we all miss you so much already, its just not skining in tho, we still expect you to turn up laughing..... Sleep Tight x x x

very sad to hear.

R.I.P gav!

Never had the pleasure of speaking to him...

Just aint fair.

RIP mate :(

never knew the bloke

but R.I.P mate

Is there details of how we can make a donation or should we start a sax-p collection to forward on?

Never knew the guy

but RIP xx

There is a group an facebook "RIP Gavin Collier" and they have arranged something there for the collection. Thank you all again.

Leeroy, my boyf jamie has sent you a message on 106owners with his number k. xx

R.I.P Gav

or you can arrange summin through paypal and then me or my boyf ir whoever can take it out and give it to the guys who are arranging the bench.

Thanks again xx

I think I'll organise that if I can get the go-ahead from the Big Man.

My thoughts are with you all

Yeah thanks, just spoken to him a few minutes ago.

Thanks for that.

Sad times for both guys friends and families tbh.

Gav obviously ment so much to so many different people on here and he will never be forgotten

R.I.P

I don't really know what to say. Never spoken to you in real life but you were always helpful on all the car forums your on. Your help/advice in the health and fitness section was always noted down, and I speak for everyone that used that part of the forum! You'll always be known for the guy with the massive arms lol.

RIP matey.

Lee let me know when any gathering is and I would like to drive down

Will do, I may not be able to make it due to stupid work commitments, but I can go I will let you know Jason.

If know we can do something as a club (Simo agreeing) at FCS

Terrible loss.

RIP

Its really sad when things like this happen, so random, and so out of the blue...

Spoke to him on here a few times about fitness, staying in shape as he seemed to be really keen when it came to things like that, giving advice out, etc. Always came across as a great lad, always up for a bit of banter aswell...

Rest well

Will never forget joking with him at one of the shows about his inflatable arms :(

RIP Gav, condolences to friends and family.

Rest in Peace Japman,

Horrible news.

RIP

gutted to hear about this was a very decent lad over the past 2 years or so I knew him on the forum..

R.I.P dude, gutted

x

the driver will be done for death by dangerous or wreckless driving im very sure

they will need to determine the speed the car was going, condition of the car (which from what ive heard wasnt roadworthy) etc but i honestly think that will happen

yeah he used to keep them at 18 psi :) good times

RIP again pal cant stop thinking about it now

The guy couldn’t take his drink lol

Gav and his mate Richard, stayed with me, Pred and Shauny at Trax’s 2008.

We had just got to sleep around 3pm, to be woken up by Gav being sick in the Bath, then falling on the over….Hahah.

Honestly the next day he had forgot to wash it out, the smell and sight of it was unreal!

Car was not Mot'd or Vic'd Pred from its previous crash!

Lee take the day off tbh

When we find out the day Jason I can try to do something then matey.

Lee pm me your number

the driver is gonna be convicted then

Yep, if he pulls through.

Probably is best if he does slip away (in a kind of nice way) I wouldnt would not want to have the death of young lad on my hands.
