Evil Empire Closes for Good on 30th April 2025

As some of you know I have been fighting stomach cancer since July last year and I have now unfortunately lost my battle with this disease.

So, I have to draw a line under the company keeping open as I can no longer operate as I used to as the illness gets worse, and I would like to quiet time to myself.

The company will remain open and trading as normal until the 30th April 2025 when it will close for good and not carry on in any shape or form.

All orders placed will be dispatched and any order I cannot get hold of stock by the end of the month will be refunded back to the customer.

I would like to thank all of you for your friendship and custom over the years.

Regards Rob

As our conversation I’ve known for a while and as I was then devastated for your news rob :heart: I can honestly say one of the most genuine helpful knowledgeable people I have had the pleasure of knowing and meeting. Really appreciate everything you have done for me and the car over the last 11 years I’ve owned it and been mothering you for wisdom :sweat_smile:. Will ring through the week for a catch up phone call if your up for it. Thank you again on behalf of everyone who’s ever owned one of these cars for being the go to guy and keeping them on the road :heart:

Appreciate it more than you know.

Keep up the good fight but i wish you all the best, what you have done for the platform is more than it deserves :smiley: it would have been long dead had it not been for yourself and the handful of others.
I will miss the overly long conversations from the odd time i need something from you.
Good luck and thankyou!

All the best Rob, although we’ve not spoken much directly your site has been instrumental in helping me with my GTO - having all of the products and description write ups has been a god send with planning out my car and gathering information. Wishing you all the best

Hi @GSXRKID

Rob you are an amazing man and don’t deserve this.

All the GTO knowledge you have passed on to people over the years is invaluable.

Over the year you have offered parts / build and may other other services above and beyond a large number of othet suppliers out there. That are just interested in taking your money, but not you, each purchase comes with great advice.

I have spent many years going over GTOs sometimes very frustrating other times extremely rewarding. But my knowledge is still no where near yours.

Take care and we will have a last chin wag :blush: soon x
