Passing of a long-time member and TM legend BENROSS
Turbo Mini Forums

With great sadness I'm posting to share the passing of long-time TM member, legend and resident cylinder head modifier Steve (BENROSS).

I was contacted by his son yesterday saying that he had suddenly but peacefully passed away Friday 23rd.

He said he would be grateful for me sharing news of his passing with the community he once enjoyed and gave so much to.

I'm sure all TM members who knew him will remember Steve for his knowledge, his willingness to help others, and the many contributions he made to the forum over the years.

My condolences go out to his family and friends.

If you have any messages or memories to share please post them here and I will forward a link to the topic to his son.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

This is really sad news. Thanks for posting John.

Steve was a good guy.

I was really sad to hear this news.

Steve was certainly a character, a very generous guy both in his advice to anyone, but also in his time certainly to me personally.

Many a time ventured over to visit him for half a gallon of tea and a few hours of tales.

Lots of folk in here had both heads and full engines from Steve, and who can forget a few of his catchphrases that took root in the busy days of forums, “it’s not the icing on the cake, it’s more cake” and of course we must not forget “THE RAT BASTARDS”!!


Sadly missed and warmly remembered.

Rest in peace Steve.
