R.I.P Todd "JUDGE" Wilkes- 10 years ago today

[GSRman]

Certainly a shocking incident, only met Todd the once, at Wakefield, he was there with Jason gray, made some sort of comment about me being one of those keyboard warriors :-)

I feel for those a lot closer to him than me, the 3 I'm thinking of, you know who you are.

Anyone remember the tribute cruise we went on to BWCP soon after the event? Doesn't feel like 10 years ago, RIP Todd.

[Shitbreak]

engine was in the back of the giocotallo (or however you spell it)

Yup. But was it a standard V8 in the back of it? Still would like to see pics of the twin turbo unit behind Todd Wilkes car. It really was an icon of the street machine scene.

Rest in peace Judge, I cant belive it's 10 years already..

[F|sh]

i remember someone called ironwulf/feenix apparently was looking after it at one stage and yeah no idea after that.
