The TRS forum may be closed but it's a very sad day for those who were part of it's community.
Many former members of TRS are already aware of the tragic news that Chris (Grovit) Groves died in a car accident along with his 9 year old son Connor yesterday. However since the TRS forum is no longer available I felt the need to post this just incase anyone who knew Chris, or was part of TRS, have not heard the terrible news.
Chris was a long standing member of TRS and attended most of the meets, often being a group leader on our runs around the Scottish countryside. He was a true gent and even though I was one of the few female drivers on TRS runs he always made me feel welcome and safe whenever we drove out. ( He also helped sort out my paintwork after a slight mishap with a cone on a sprint day.
) He was a total petrolhead and a proper enthusiast of all things "car". Chris was a member on here but tended to use TRS and MLR more than CTRO. He will be missed by many but not forgotten.
My thoughts are with his wife Clare, I cannot comprehend how she must be feeling just now! Also his brother Nick and the rest of his family.
I often heard the term "keep it on the blackstuff" when the TRS crowd went out for a run, I never thought I'd have to read something like this.
