I've been away - when did YT & friends close up shop?
Pretty much what the title says; I've been away from this forum (for the most part) and was saddened to learn that Young Tom and his friends closed their doors (and website).
Was there a post on here about it? I searched and found nothing. Sorry for dragging up old, old news.

Re: I've been away - when did YT & friends close up shop?
Thanks for the link.
I'm saddened by the news, but I understand. It was such a longshot, kept alive by community spirit and sacrifice. I'm glad he's (presumably still) happier now though. I'd had this plan in the back of my mind to one day take my car to him for a transformation... I mean, it runs ok most of the time, and I've got a fair list of mods done, but there are some things that need improving (6mt trans mount and front diff seals for starters), and I wanted to have the engine rebuilt with cams, headers, and improved computers by someone who knows an EG33 inside out and backward. I know there are still others who do, like Old Tom, but this just feels like a huge blow to SVX morale. Well, they'll probably never see this and I'm not about to necro that old thread, but here goes: Thanks guys, for all the hard work (and the used rack and coils, Tom ), and sorry that I never got the chance to frequent your establishment. Good luck in your future endeavours. I will never forget the hard work and pride you fellas injected to the community.

Aw, you did read it
You were my SVX mancrush for a long time. Incidentally, I almost bought a 540i 6mt around the time I instead bought my second SVX. I guess that means we both have the same good taste. Heh. Three cheers for the boys of AWD llc!
