Doug Hirkam
It is with sadness that I have learnt of the passing of Doug Hirkam. Doug passed away earlier this year.
I first met Doug a few years ago when he was doing research on his time warp Valiant Charger, a car built in the 70s and found in largely original condition by Doug.
Doug was "Mr Clutch and Brake" and was always happy to share his expertise and stories of years gone by, street racing in JHB in the late 60s and early 70's.
RIP Doug and thank you for sharing your expertise and for being a great guy. I hope you enjoying talking shop with legends of the past, notably Keith Brooker who built your Charger and your other friend Eric Broadley of Lola fame.

Re: Doug Hirkam
Very sad to hear of his passing.
He truly was a valued member of this forum, and always very helpful and willing to assist.
Was just thinking of him last week, as I was making use of service provider I was referred to, by Doug.
He will be missed, my condolences to Gary and Doug's other loved ones.

Re: Doug Hirkam
I also did not know Doug, but through the posts in this forum I could get to know him on an intellectual and emotional level. Obviously he was a very kind and generous man with a lot of honest integrity.
Rest in peace Mr. Hirkam
