Default Big Kev dead at 56

Not really Ford related or even car related but I just heard a while ago on the radio that Big Kev has died aged 56. Poor old Big Kev!

News.com.au article

If anyone had the opportunity to see his hotted up golfcart he used at the race circuits when he sponsored Paul Morris V8Supercar, it was well worth a look. He was a shy guy (not)!

I was quite saddened to hear the news on the radio this afternoon. He seemed like a good genuine character, who always put a smile on my face when he came on tv.

RIP Big Kev, a larger than life character and passionate about all things Australian.
We could probably do with a few more people like you...
