Default RIP JBL930

Just startled and saddened to hear of the passing of UK Rennlister Jon Lang, known here as JBL930. Jon built a monster 930, starting with tuning the stock 930 K Jetronic and achieving mixed results and eventually ending up with an RS tuning modified 993 engine shoehorned into the 930. His enthusiasm and commitment were quite something to behold.

RIP Jon - you've left us much too soon.

^^ I'm with Mark, Felix - any additional info? I spoke to Jon a couple of times when I was in London. Sold him a couple of parts too when I was leaving. Sad.

I know very little else. Have a read of http://www.henleystandard.co.uk/news...php?id=1174493 - the article describes the Jon I knew well.

Jon had many talents - have a look at http://www.kigi.co.uk/ I sent him an email just last night to catch up on things and to ask for advice on a bespoke door - and today I learn he's gone.
