JasonBen Memorial

[BCA]

Saw this link in General TVR and thought I'd bring it back to his PH home:

www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?t=288441&f=13&h=0

Cant make it personally, but perhaps we could get a few Cerberas in attendance?

[headcase]

As a relative newbie to PH, me and many others dont know Jason, with deepest respect for his family could someone tell us his story?

[*Phoenix*]

Great guy, went all out to have his dream car, was very enthusiastic from the moment he got his cerbie, used to love the strip.
Died in a crash sadly.

Pretty much as Ash has said, passionate about his Cerb, very amiable and popular young man...still missed. Unfortunately a bit short notice for the memorial, but hopefully there will be some Cerbs there.

As the others have said, great bloke.
That's Jay and me lined up at Santa pod, sadly this was the first and last time I met him.
Maybe get a few Cerbs out to the rememberance run.

Yup. I went to the last year memorial cruise .. absolutely top class event .. police roadblocked the motorway junctions so the whole cruise could go through as one long convoy .. was an excellent night with money raised going i think to Jason's children.
Sadly I was the only Cerbera there but I'd thoroughly recommend anyone even half thinking of attending to go and take part .. multiple meeting points along the route too so join in when you can.

Jason and Cyclone were trading fastest cerbie times that day at the Pod, Jason was a Pod regular and knew how to get great times from his car .. tended to go through gearboxes like crazy though .. i remember on the day of NickCC's pic I'd just fitted a new gearbox to Jason's Cerbera and he broke it (5th gear) on the way to the event!! I was gutted inside but it was difficult to ever feel angry towards jason 'cos he was such a genuinely likeable chap and always smiling and enthusiastic about his cars and life in general.

This cruise promises to be one of the biggest and best you could go to, so please go if you can

I attended the cruise that ended at Tesco's in Telford last year. I thought I was the only Cerb there! There was one hell of a turn out of chav cars. I am hoping it will be the same again this year. Lets hope I am not on my own with the TVR. I was a little disappointed last year with no other Cerb presence under the circumstance.

lol I was there in Ceejay's Cerbie that he kindly lent me for the occasion! which car park were you in Bodger and where were you parked? Can't believe we both missed each other ... I was with my BMW Mini Cooper S owning friends .. if you saw the 3 Coopers parked up chances are i was somewhere nearby.

Thats my baby. A green 4.2. I joined the crowd at the Telford service station and followed it down to Tesco. I parked top far corner since I was concerned about all the boy racers geting a litle too close!! I remenber the police giving me the thumbs up and commenting on the car. I stayed till about 10:00pm. Good turn-out and an entertaining night for such a sorrow event.

[Haywood]

cool cool

well guys this meet is tommorrow and i hope to see some of you there....

the organisers were wondering if those of you in cerberas would mind parking together so we can organise a 21 gun salute type scene only using cerbera exhausts instead of guns... he'd love it and we'd love it if you'd help us do it.

if you're willing to join in and help achieve this then please call me (my name is chris) when you arrive at the final location on 07933638598 and i will come meet you and escort you to the area

thanks

regards
chris haywood

I presume this is somewhere around Birmingham way? I live near Watford Herts. Could someone tell me which meeting point is nearest to me please, so I can get an idea how far I would need to travel, thanks.

RIP Jason: Never met him but any Cerb owner is a friend in my book

I need to know where it is first, incase I can't get there in time.
If I can go I would be very happy to take some shots.
