Evening everyone,

It is with a Heavy heart that this thread is made, On sunday the 26th of June 2016 around about 17:57 on Main road driving home on his Bike from a sunday lunch run, He was involved in an accident and immediately succumbed to his injuries.

We have literally been inundated with condolences from Forum members and I thank you all for the support on behalf of Nadia Potgieter (Tiaan's Wife) The family, friends and myself.

He was a dear friend to many of us, and those that know him will agree that he would want us to celebrate the good times and his passing in high spirits.

Hence the post to INVITE EVERYONE to attend the short service followed by what would be considered an after party nearby also in Centurion.

Details to the events:

Memorial Service
Saturday 2nd July Arrive at 11:30 drinks till 12:00

There will be a bike run before hand with the meeting point at the Chapel. The Chapel is Shelanti tea Garden in Centurion. Situated on 263 Jean ave.

The service will be kept short however the Bikes and Cars arriving will form an Integral part of the event so I urge you all to make at least an appearance to be part of the photoshoot. (I'll post pics of the parking lot)

After Party - Cool Runnings Centurion.

Expecting to finish around 14:00 and then a short drive of around 5 km to Cool Runnings Centurion on Hendrik verwoerd street. We will have the venue booked to accomodate around 100 people.

Yes, after that he bought Mo's ex 330d aka Miss Marple, the car now owned by Andy.
I remember him, fun guy. He came to one of the Fanatics Zwartkops gocart trackdays, we had an epic day of racing.

Will try to make it through on Saturday.

Indeed, when the E46 was still dipped.

He worked with Fuzz on my ex Z3 M Coupe paint correction.

Tiaan was also a huge Fanatics charity supporter back in the day.

Truly sad this, a loss of a great guy, and an active contributor.

He always supported the charity events, I will definitely be there Andy.
