Mike Rowe, Slim’s very good friend, has announced on Facebook that he has died. Shockingly quick downturn in health. He was doing well in June 2022 but became ill thereafter

That's a bit sad. 

I've been trying to get a model of the ATS 'ABBA' car. 

 

Not that this is about me.

It was great of Mike Rowe to do a crowdfunding effort for Slim and the response was superb. 

 

Sincere condolences to family, friends and colleagues.

Sad news indeed

 

I have fond memories of him racing our SAAB 900 Turbo a few times, and grinding down a borrowed socket or 2 :)

 

RIP Slim

Also seen on the Racing Comments side, Slim Borgudd at Canada in 1981. This is at the exit of what is now turn two. Condolences to his family, friends and admirers.
