I feel horrible for originating this thread. mark was a true 914 enthusiast and a valued member of this community.



May he rest in peace.


I started out my day wondering where an order I had placed a couple of weeks ago.

I started this thread "Is Engman parts still around?"

The details are not important, this post edited because of the news.

I had ordered some parts and paid via PayPal.

Today, I went to the cart section of the paypal website and I get the following message:

Engman Parts....

Error Message: This recipient is currently unable to receive money.
[Return to Engman Parts]


Got a PM from a Distinguished member of our community and forwarded it to the Admins for confirmation.

Any words of wisdom?

I saw your PM. If that is indeed true, that's a sad day for 914world, another one lost ...

R.I.P. Mark

Got a PM from a distinguished member that stated he had passed away a couple of months ago. I PM'd SirAndy to see if he knew about it.

It is/was a sad day

His account states he last logged in here at '3rd December 2012 - 06:52 PM'. That's only 2 weeks ago.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Mark is a real good guy. I hope he did not pass away and hold vigil until we can confirm or refute this claim. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Not sure if this is accurate... All I can say is, I hope it's not.

Site says "Not able to receive Funds" in the shopping cart section (PayPal)

Ah crap, now i remember why his account says December 3rd for the last login.

His emails have been bouncing for several weeks and i logged into his account to see if he had any forum subscriptions.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Can we verify this? If this is true I am NOT happy. He made good stuff, much of which is on my car and he was a good guy as well. Another good one gone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I'm thinking we owe his family a note or something to tell them how much he did for us all.
