Sad news
« on: August 13, 2014, 12:58:05 PM »
With great sadness I post of the very sudden loss last weekend of long time friend and fellow vw gearhead,  Martin Douse . His friendly, easy going and often joking nature is very much missed .  A huge loss for His wife and family, close friends , the vw community and all who knew Him .
Big fat black fastback

Hans
Thanks for posting.
Martin was the guy we drag raced with, ice raced with, go karted with, went on how many Califormia trips with?
He was the Santa to our kids at Christmas for many years.
I will , we will miss him so much.
Martin R.I.P. my friend.

Very sad, a wonderful guy, I grew up with him around my older brother friends in the vw scene,I  worked with him for a few years  side by side ...I will miss him greatly.
God be with you Martin.
