Have a look on one of the other threads on this Clivey (Nick bbb's), I said on there that I read on another forum that "a car he was working on slipped into gear and ran over his neck..."

Still awaiting confirmation...

That's a bit harsh Starsks

I thought he was quite slim by American standards

Bit of a tummy maybe, but...

That is shocking. He was working on one of his cars?

I thought he died from liver failure, a problem he had been suffering with for the last few months.

He truly bought hot rodding to the masses through his TV media, met him couple of years ago down at his shop. Seemed OK to me, only very briefly but he did take the time to stop and say hello and welcome us to look round his shop.
