2013 G63 AMG
RIP Dad <3

Hey Everyone,
My father, George Manaras, passed away suddenly last tuesday.
He was a car collector and had a passion for AMG cars, which clearly rubbed off on myself and my brother. I figured i'd post in this section of the boards because it's my favorite place and has some awesome members. He enjoyed his 2012 c63 very much as well as all of his other cars. He left behind a legacy that My brother and I are completely ready to fulfill. He taught us well about business and just as much about cars. Some of you may have met him at the AMG gatherings/track days in the Montreal/Ontario area.

Just figured i'd post a thread in his honor.
He never posted on this forum, but frequented it quite often (to make sure his kids didn't post too much nonsense)

He left us with many toys to drive around and have fun in, and we are so proud of our father and so thankful for everything he taught us.

We lost an epic AMG enthusiast and collector.
RIP Georgie boy.

I have met your father & brother at the AMG event in Mt-Tremblant... what a nice man he was! You should be proud of him 'cuz I know he didnt spoiled his childrens... rather made you work hard for your own cars. RIP to your father & all my support to your family on this sad moment.
