zactek Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 So sad. He seemed to have so much energy .He will be missed. What was his full name? That would be Wayne Wike. He's been sick for a while, and his condition worsened over the last year. Many PM's were exchanged between us, he was a trip to talk to. He's in a better place now, RIP Wayne. Zack K.

BrazilBoy Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hopefully he went peacefully and my sincerest condolences to his family. Prayers sent to his family. Love'em or Hate'em he knew quite a bit. He was abrasive sure, but he also did more than most for this community. Every time we turn that key we are in some measure indebted to Wayne. Truly saddening news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Cary Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Maybe we should have a meet to remember him? I didnt ever talk to the guy but his s.o.s manuals have definitely helped me out with my car as well as other cars. The principals and issues he covered in his write ups can be applied to a lot of vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly saddening news. Well put, his ego would have loved that. Maybe a bit raw, but Wayne was always a straight shooter with me.Wish we would have known this when it happened. I think at least an SQC flower bouquet would have been appropriate.R.I.P. Wayne Wike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoFab Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) He will be missed he did alot of good work and documented it for others. Should we be worried about sos manuals going down from the website not being paid for? No sir. I have Wayne's permission to copy his work should the need arise. Just so there is no controversy, I have this permission documented via email. Edited January 5, 2014 by NikoFab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 While I was far from a fan of PQ, I am sad to hear he passed. I hope his legacy of the SOS manual lives on instead of some of his other attributes. He was extremely knowledgeable about the cars. I saved all of the SOS manuals years ago, so if anyone is putting it back together and is missing something, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jszucs Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 We all have quirks. Was one of the first people I meet around here and he rightly steared me away from TEP (which was about the only people listing parts for the car at the time) I know at some point there was some beef and pettyness around the manuals.......... but this really makes you think don't it? For the short time we are here is it really worth all the drama. If only we could all be working in the same direction, what we could accomplish. Pettyness and internet bickering aside Thank you Wayne for all you have done for this car and comunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 many of you haven't been around long enough to know the entire story of Wayne and his SOS , his personality made him a hard person to get along with , and his EGO was super sized to say the least . but I bent over many times for him and put up with more of his crap then any other site on the webbut during all that I have never harbored any ill feeling towards him in fact I was always hopeing he'd come out of some of his ways but he would not , I am saddened by his passing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtreme Industries Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 i always respected his point of view. i liked tha fact that he was straight and to the point and didnt hold back. sure, it could rub people the wrong way but he knew his stuff and was always willing to help as long as he knew you were not wasting his time. sorry to see him go, my prayers are with his family and friends. this is a loss for the community for sure.
