ACTdryice Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 It's my understanding that Jeff M is out the Grand Prix community, does anyone have a means of contacting him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiac6ksteawd Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Last I talked to him, he was having some serious health issues. I believe he succumbed to those health issues, his phone got disconnected, and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redgrandprix Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 what were you wanting to contact him about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACTdryice Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Seems like he was the encyclopedia of TGP history. Wanted to see what he had on the pikes peak turbo.... sorry about his loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareGMFan Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 How long ago did you last talk to him, Brian? I was afraid something like that might have happened when he suddenly just disappeared from the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMNCFI Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Last contact I know of with him from my end was December 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareGMFan Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Oh wow. I didn't know anyone had talked to him that "recently". I haven't seen him active on any forums in years. Then again, I haven't exactly been ultra active myself, so it's quite possible I may have missed something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMNCFI Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 He was on the AMG forums, owned a CLK63 Black Series, but still had both the 4 and 2 door TGP's. I actually found him by accident when I was looking at the "other cars" section one day, but Dec was the last I talked to him. I messaged him a while back on there (summer 2013) and got no response.

tornado_735 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) I decided to do a little sleuth work, and found this on his profile on MBWorld.org. Jeff M. Last Activity: 12-21-2013 06:05 PM He might still be around. Edited February 12, 2014 by tornado_735 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 That's good to hear he still is around out there somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeZ34 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Huh, just the other day I purchased the turbograndprix.com domain name he used to own back in the day.. Glad to know he's still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfewtrail Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I doubt Jeff had anything more on the Pike's peak car than he used to have typed on his old website. If he did, he didn't seem to be interested in sharing anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I knew Jeff's love changed to CLK Mercedes, but I found it kind of odd that he's abandoned TGP discussion and forums completely. I guess sometimes quitting cold turkey is the best way. Kind of odd that he's not very active on the MBWorld forums either. Not like he used to be here, anyway.

Turbo v-sick Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 IIRC he got pissed about several things. The community itself was young and some were not really nice to him(I've read the threads). The 8f hack became publicly available(2005) and he and another member had a few issues(lawyers needed). Lastly I think several figured out the TGP was not the next GN. That's just my two cents tho. I wish him the best and would love to pick his brain on some TGP stuff.

White93z34 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I've personally spent time searching, found a blurb he posted somewhere, and I do forget where. But it was basically he got sick of a lot of the "kids" that were more interested in kill stories and a cheap fast car then they were anything else, got sick of answering their dumb questions that were answered in documents he provided them with chips. He also got tired of the MB crowd being afraid of opening their own hood without the dealer doing it for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Powered Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I know he helped me through tons of issues with my first TGP. with the packet that came with the chip and emails, that shit was priceless. I remember it taking me forever to get that car to run right. I believe it would have never happened without his help. There would be way less TGP's out there if it wasn't for Jeff M, he did his service for the time he was needed most and now this community is a great place as a direct result of that.

ACTdryice Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Sounds like the asset I thought he was/is. Im figured he might have the most knowledge abt the Pikes Peak racer, pictures etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be way less TGP's out there if it wasn't for Jeff M, he did his service for the time he was needed most and now this community is a great place as a direct result of that. I wasn't nearly as interested in the TGP's as much when I first joined this site compared to now, but from what I read back then this statement is 100% true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
