It’s hearbreaking that my first post on here in 2013 is to say goodbye to another AE86irl member, It seems surreal that someone so young and full of energy and life is no longer with us.

Andrew (Jap86) sadly passed away on new years eve after a tragic accident  he was a member of AE86irl for just over a year but at just 16 he managed to own more 86’s than many other members will do in a lifetime.

I only had the chance to meet Andrew on a couple of occasions but my memory of him will be of his larger than life cheeky character, infectious grin and his love of rusty old toyota’s. I hope that his family and friends can take some solace in the fact that he lived his life to the max and crammed so much into his short time with us.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Andrew’s family.

‘We are not here for a long time, We are here for a good time’ 

Paddy and all at AE86irl.
