September Off-Roader of the month

Post by Leatherneck »

Another Month is upon us and it is time to announce the Septembers Off-Roader of the month. This guy has been around for awhile, both in years, I mean a lot of years and in years in STF :lol: So without further ado let me introduce Turboblue as STF's Off-Roader of the month.

Congratulations Turboblue you have definitely deserved the honor.


He does not have a build thread but has a lot of rides, here is one of them. Of course you don't get a name like Turboblue without having something to back it up with.

And when it is time to get dirty in the woods he uses his Beeline buggy

Image

Image

Image

And of cource you have to have something to haul all the toys around in.

Image

I know we are not doing street cars but wanted to show his sweet 67, all of Turboblues rides show what kind of guy he is.

Image

He may not have a build thread but he can build one heck of a sweet engine.

Image

Turboblue as I said before has been around STF since 2003 and the Off-Road scene even longer. One of the cool things about Gary is his willingness to help a guy out. He is always there with helpful advice and when you need it he can also help out with the parts to back it up.


Image

Turboblue is one of those types who knows his information and when you talk to him either on STF or call him at the shop he is always willing to share his knowledge with you and explain about what you might need. Turoblue is for sure one of the good guys and we are lucky to have him here in the not just the OR forum but all of Shoptalkforums. Gary Congratulations and thank you for your knowledge and help. Keep doing what you do!

Turboblue Congratulations to a well deserved award.

Congrats! Turboblue is one of the few guys that is still willing to play name that part... and that's after trying to sell them all day. That's gotta be some kind of sickness. Any plans to baja that '67?

It is hard picking out the Off-Roader of the month, there are a lot of good guys in here who deserve it but only one gets the nod.

You deserve it Turboblue, you have helped out the forum for many years, lots of time effort and dedication that we really appreciate.
