We lost a member today.
Just to let anyone that knew Goldsmithy......or, as he was known to friends, Teddy.
He passed away this afternoon at 1530 from cancer. He was one hell of a good guy. Don't know any other way to put it. The Mini community is a poorer place this evening.
These are pictures of Teddy and his car at MOTD this year. He worked so hard over the last couple of months to get it ready for the trip. A lot of people lent a hand to help him get ready for the car show at the Dragon and set up the M/A tent. All his hard work paid off because he won Best in Class, Best Engine Compartment, and Best in Show. It's the only Mini I've personally seen with an airbag suspension. I don't know how he managed the drive back to Ohio, because as soon as he arrived he was taken to the hospital and admitted. Without a doubt one of the most devoted Mini enthusiasts I've ever met or heard of. And, a really nice guy.
