This is terrible news.
Without Andrew's assistance, the Targa Hatch would be a few bits short. In fact, his mounts are holding the engine up.
Never met him, but have done business with him a fair bit over the last couple of years.
RIP Andrew, have a cuppa with Pete.

That's really sad news, I never met Andrew, but he helped me out with parts for the UC when I was building it, and he definitely seemed to be a great guy.
My thoughts for his family, may he rest in peace.

I am totally shocked, I only last night I recommended Andrew while at the Torana Club meeting last night.
Condolences to Debbie and the girls, Ian and their family our thoughts are with you.
I have known Andrew for quite some time as someone to go to if you needed Torana parts and through QTCC when he was a member.
Andrew and his extensive knowledge will sadly be missed but mostly his nature.
To those that have had the pleasure of meeting Andrew or going to Milton Perfomance, he has a "Wall of Fame" it consists of customers and friends Torana. There is so much history in the photos.
I agree with a9xhatchback, he will be picking Brocky's brain LOL
RIP Mate

Jesus, what a shock
It's all been said previously about Andrew. He was a genuine guy who had time for everyone.
To see someone taken at such a young age (I am 43!!) really makes you take stock of your life.
To his family, my sincere condolences.
Hopefully his legacy of Milton Performance will live on in his honour.
regards
Mick

That is terrible news. My sincerest condolences to Andrews family.
I've been buying parts from him for years but I had no idea he was crook. I've actually been trying to ring him for the last couple of weeks.
He was always willing to help with whatever dillema I posed to him and he gave me a lot of good advise. He had a wealth of knowledge and resources and was a genuinely good person.
I (as will so many others) will miss him.
Goodbye, Andrew, rest in peace.

this is shocking , way too early to retire andrew ..
i,ve never met andrew but the phone conversations and the help with parts ,advice were second to none and his passion for the torana,s was unbelievable , a great guy ..
i remember a phone call from andrew one day and he said i,ve paid him twice for a part i purchased from him which he promptly returned no questions , how honest can a man get , andrew you are a true gentleman and there should be more around like you ...
R.I.P andrew

seems like only yesterday that i met the bloke for the first (and now last) time, but would be closer to four years.
an incredable loss.

Andrew's untimely death is a big loss to the Torana community & will be sorely missed !!! His enthusasm for the brand was unquestionable and loved the little details in each model ! He was a honest & trustworthy man & was allways highly recomended by me to deal with !!
My wife & I are thinking of his family ( Ian & Rod ) and Debbie & the kids , and will be at his service no matter what !!
