I'm sorry to tell you all that Bruce Gavins (Traxs,Bad Dawg) is not going to survive his last heart attack. I am a big fan of Bruce's products and a lot of my customs are bodies from Bruce. I know Jase and Grant have some of his products and will know what I mean.
Bruce was a body designer for Tyco way back when Tyco was a major player. I have had the privilege of chatting to Bruce about his Tyco days. I have worked with Bruce designing bodies and mounting options and he put my name to 3 of his products. I am humbled by this!
This is a great loss to our hobby.

Cheers Dave.

Yeah I'm afraid you won't get what you ordered! There will be a lot of orders that won't be done. Hope there's no Fuckwits that give Jeannie a hard time.

Well it was $156US, and since she offered the money, why the sudden change.

Depends on what she does, as she did offer and now not as to if i take it any further.

Just couldn't believe the change of tune.

So your statement of "and rightfully so" is very wrong

156 bucks,yeap alot of cash I agree,but I still say chasing money from a widow for what is really cars for a hobby,reading the posts on the US H/T forum Bruces widow has been getting alot of abusive emails from buyers that will not be getting their cars or cash,perhaps she is just plain pissed off with all the requests for money to be returned,none of us know their financial status at the time of Bruces passing

Well if she is getting that sort of e-mails, then I can understand the comment I got (not that I abused her at all).

As said, She offered the money back, and i just wondered if it had been sent.

Yeah it's alot of money (15 bodies). Sucks.

You never know as it might still turn up.
