kind thought shane, but the celebration of life for ben was held in late december in victoria.

truly sad news about ben. i didnt know him personally but he seemed like a keen upbeat kind of guy. i loved his VH fan shroud and the video he made of his motor build start up is a classic piece of comedic genius...
