hybrid 1043 Report post Posted March 28, 2013 Very very sad to hear .... Many of you would of known Brian organising Bimmersport BBQ and various cruises around Auckland. And just one of the ole boys who was just really into BMW vehicles as a whole. Was fortunate enough to work with Brian on many Brian lead Bimmersport events. You may remember him from the largest BMW Show and Shine in East Auckland in the country and his legendary Cornwell park BBQs. Heres to ya mate, and may you be keeping on up there.

Neal 544 Report post Posted March 28, 2013 Brian was kind enough to arrange some of my late fathers Motorsport photography to be used at the bmw festival last year ( bmws @ Nissan mobil 500 in the 1980s). This gesture meant a lot to me and my mother. Never met the man , but have great respect for him doing so. Thoughts are with his family. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a pleasure to know you and to have the opportunity to share our enthusiasm for BMWs together. Going to be strange to drive past Fiber McPhee and not see your car out there.
