Was still alive 1hour ago, but not expected to regain consciousness.......

I think we all have to admit its a sad day...

Lets not say too much more.

Respect to a great man of motorsport! a driving hero to many!

:___(

its ironic that a man who is involved in one of the most dangerous car sports, whos rolled, gobe off banks, into trees dies from an accident under "normal" conditions.

no offense shell, but he is still not dead, saying no point delaying the inevitable is pretty low, and i dont think that is right, unless he is dead, there is always hope, no matter how slim.

sorry Boxhead...didn't mean to come across insensitive

just, in my mind, I realised what the outcome of this would be...as sad as it is

You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Possum passed away this morning.

I honestly have tears in my eyes. Possum was and has been a personal hero of mine for years. I used to watch in admiration as he made that subaru fly.

He was a top bloke, always had time for his fans and fellow drivers, he will be missed.

RIP Possum.

Such a frustrating, sad waste of life..

[carlo]

But what a life he had... Such a great guy. Winning so many ARC trophies, being NZ's best rally driver etc etc.

It was a tragic thing to have happened, but if he had regained consciousness, his life wouldn't have been worth living.

He's in a better place.

This is indeed sad news.

He certainly was one of the greats.

My thoughts are with him family.

i have been following this closely for the past week or so. Really is a great tradgedy - both to his fans and his family.

my dad was lucky enough to ride with him around a track once - apart from being a great driver - i am told he was a great guy.
