Hi All,

I would just like to pass on the news that Dan Manley (badassmini) passed away at home on Friday night.

Dan was an avid Mini enthusiast and Mini owner.

Dan came home from work on Friday feeling a bit ill, collapsed at home and his Mum called an ambulance, but Dan could not be revived. Dan was 21!!

I was just talking via email with Dan a few days before and this news came as a shock to me.

I would ask you all join me in sending our condolences to Dan's family and friends during this difficult time, and we extend our deepest sympathy's to Dan's family.

The funeral is this Friday I think and I will confirm this in due course.

Cheers,
Tricky

Sh!t, wow, um.... Words fail me at this point intime, it's sad to lose anybody, let alone someone so young!

I don't know him, I don't think that ihave spoken to him on here, but it still comes as a shock and is very upsetting.

Condolences to his family, friends and anybodyon herethat knew him.

Rohan

It's sad enough to loose someone, even worse when they are cut short.

We send our condolances :cry:

Something like that is a bit hard for us 'outsiders' to come to grips with and so must be the difficltest of difficult times for the family.

Sincere condolances from us.

Yes, very sad. At 21 you are still really finding out who you are and where your life will take you.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
