Some bad news guys, Si Baldwin - aka "Mr Bishi" from the FTOOC in UK died in a car accident last night.
Those that have been here long enough will remember his as one of the early pioneers on FTO modding & helped put them in the spotlight for motoring enthusiasts.
He had one of the first turbo FTOs with all the work done himself. I had the pleasure having a drink with him a couple of times when I was in the UK. He will be missed

He was driving home from work in his Celica TA22 and clipped a barrier, sending him spinning into the path of an oncoming lorry, from what I've been told he died pretty much instantly and did not suffer. As you can imagine his family and friends are pretty cut up by this tragedy and finding it very difficult to come to terms with, Si was an amazing person always there for a friend in need and I'm proud to say I knew him.
R.I.P Si
