RIP Vinnie...condolences to friends and family...way too young...

 

Way too soon.
RIP Vinnie.

 

I met Vinnie by first exchanging messages on this forum, and I made a point of meeting up with him the first time when I was in Victoria on business a few years ago. Like other friends I have made on this forum, I found our first face-to-face meeting very relaxed and conversational. It seems our cars provide a good common interest on which to build a more extensive friendship.

Vinnie subsequently had Stacy sell him and install a used VF supercharger that I had purchased (at Stacy's urging!) and subsequently sold to Stacy after I decided I wasn't going to install it in my car. Vinnie and I had numerous telephone conversations as he grappled with concerns about installing a SC on his car. Since I knew Stacy better than he did at the time, he needed help in increasing his comfort with making the leap. Needless to say, I thought he was in good hands with Stacy.

I visited Vinnie for lunch in Victoria on another later trip, and he took me for a ride in his gorgeous supercharged C4S cab. He loved that car, and thoroughly enjoyed the boost in power provided by the SC.

Vinnie was a friendly and classy guy, and I'm glad I made the effort to meet him and get to know him for at least a small part of his short life. Rest in peace, Vinnie.

 

RIP, my condolences to the family.
