EuroDat Posted March 1, 2013 Share #50 Posted March 1, 2013 Although I didnt know him personally, I enjoyed readings the comments Enrique gave on this forum. Enrique was the gentle current that flowed through some of the turbulent threads that past by my computer screen.The link is post 46 says it all.He will be missed. My sincere regards to his family and friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Palmer Posted March 6, 2013 Share #51 Posted March 6, 2013 I guess it was two Canbys ago, he grabbed me by the arm and took me over to show me the chrome mesh insert he'd put into that ersatz hood scoop on his roadster. The man was so proud of that subtle little tweak. That was a man that really enjoyed his cars.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted March 6, 2013 Share #52 Posted March 6, 2013 Great guy, believed in the "pay it forward" concept by sending people parts they needed, sometimes without charging them postage or anything. I am the recipient of such kind actions by E. Sympathies to the family, he will be sorely missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjazombiemaster Posted March 7, 2013 Share #53 Posted March 7, 2013 I didn't have the opportunity to know Enrique for very long, and it didn't take long either to see what a kind and genuine person he was. Thankfully, some of his knowledge and words will be eternalized here.Rest in peace, Enrique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndysPlit Posted March 18, 2013 Share #54 Posted March 18, 2013 Yes, I remember seeing him around a lot. My condolences to all of you that knew him personally, or simply had a connection through this wonderful site. We lost Mike of Sunrise Z (Glendale, CA) in 2010 and that was hard for me, the shop, and all his customers. I have another Z "guru" that is battling cancer, and it's not looking too great right now. We can only carry the torch when our fellow Z friends have to go. I owe a lot to all the folks that helped me with my cars, and make me feel part of an actual community.

rdefabri Posted April 17, 2013 Share #55 Posted April 17, 2013 I haven't been on Classic Z Cars in some time. I sold my '72 240Z a few years back to work on my '66 E-Type, and I subsequently purchased a Ferrari 308. Having owned various Z cars over the years, this site has always been near and dear to my heart.I returned today to see "what's going on", and I am saddened that the first thread I've seen is about Enrique. Reading through the condolences and tributes brings back some memories of all of you - although we may not have been close, this forum has been a model of friendliness and assistance. Enrique was no exception - I still remember him as a leader here, helpful and respectful.RIP "E" - you will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family, and to all of you on Classic Z Cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcapp Posted January 17, 2016 Share #57 Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) A sad day indeed. Even though it was almost 3 years ago it brought me to tears. I haven't been on this site for a while but I was planning another trip to the Northwest and was trying to contact Enrique to plan a visit with him. Now that won't happen for some time. I could kick myself in the arse for not thinking about seeing him back a few years ago when I was up there. RIP Enrique.

DatsunZGuy Posted January 17, 2016 Share #58 Posted January 17, 2016 When searching the archives for information, I still find posts from Carl Stahlnecker (a.k.a. Bambikiller), who left us almost 10 years ago. He's another member from the "good old days" of this forum I still miss to this day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
