just read through this thread again, and im truly saddened by the realisation that ill never meet gav. after reading about how much of a nice guy he was, but obviously you dont really see this sort of thing until its too late.
if something is done as a mark of respect at fcs then ill come, i wasnt going to because i dont own a french car anymore, but now i feel like ive got a very good reason to go. even if theres nothin official it would be good for us all to sit down and have a drink together in memory of him.
also, it still angers me that his life was taken by someone else driving badly (i know ive said this previously in this thread) so please, any young guys who have recently started driving and try to show off, read this thread and think twice before driving like a dick.

Was a tribute to him on the front page of the evening post yesterday. Such a shame.

Looking at the car, he never had a chance.

RIP Bud.

Agree with you there Lee, Mike showed me some old FCS group shots with Gav in, Brought back some real good memories.

If it hasn't been mentioned, Maybe a toast in his honor at the night before at FCS?

RIP Gav.

the car looks a right mess.

he stood no chance

love the ideas:

welsh flag on bonnets
minutes silence on the start grid
gavs dad leading the lap in gavs car(s)

what about a R.I.P JAPMAN sticker in the sax-p font for the rear windows of the cars.
sell them for £1.50 or £2.00 each money made given to charity or something.
sure people wouldent say no.

Is it just me that thinks driving a load of cars round a racetrack isnt the greatest thing to do when he's just died in a car accident? Suppose someone crashed or something, would be terrible!

A lap of honour doesn't mean flying around the track like total dicks mate.

One slow consistent speed is not hard to do

His 3 brothers from another as he used to say are coming to fcs, richard, matthew and jamie, along with his dad. It may still to raw for them to take part and may get more from it if they watch and that's for them to decided. However if they do decided on this we can sort it out who leads am sure
