It sucks loosing mates full stop. It doesnt matter where or how in the end......

Ohh and unfortuneately i know what you mean by saying the area doesnt feel right....

[initialD]

[initialD]

man makes u think twice on owning a fast car

[G0DF4Th3R]

thanks guys

it'll be hard to overcome the emotional despair but with friends and family to support, we will all make it thru this tough time

Im sure Ron is real appreciative of all the thoughts and concerns that go out to him.

Bam, Erik n myself plus a few others here know him personally and once again, i might be repeating something already said, don't post unless u know for sure what you're talking abt.

This is a sensitive issue and what he is going thru, you cannot even begin to imagine so pls do not act like a know-all.

Racing is dangerous no doubt but if u said you've nv done it, your voice will be falling on deaf ears. Dont even bother.

Best now is to pray for them that perished, for Ron's swift recovery, for God's strenght to help the parents of the perished ones endure it. Not knock anyone and make stories.

Anyways, i does make you think twice owning a fast car eh initialD...a real jolt back into reality.

Pray for them and their respective families.

[initialD]

yeah i'm a good friend of kenedy's so i'm still in quite of a shock to hear this, u neva think it'll happen 2 u or some 1 u know, but when it does......it hits home real hard if u know wat i mean

[docile]

Sorry to say this guys, but over the next week or so, people will spread more stories of what happened etc. Try to ignore it. From past experiences (i've lost a couple of mates in car crashes (mainly fatigue + speed)) you can try to explain things to people, but it often falls on deaf ears.

We've all done bad things, some of us get lucky and learn from it, some never get that chance and unfortuneately scenes like this will be repeated EVERY DAY.

Its a very sad fact of life....

Very well said streamer and I wish a quick recovery for those injured and peace for those passed.

My only comment is that a fast car is a joy to have but without someone pressing the throttle it is no quicker than a slow one.

The attitude to speed and knowledge of the dangers is sometimes hard learned....

Once again , I feel for those left behind:grouphug:

Ive seen quite a few accidents lately .... quite fatal and serious ones ..... also drove past one this morning. Really seems like theres some bad karma floating around lately .... so just be a little more cautious on the road everyone.

Bam & Erik & Everyone else that was close to the people involved in this tragic accident ..... my thoughts n prayers are with you and their families.

Just remember everyone it doesnt matter the circumstances surrounding the accident ..... even if the guy was going really silly in his car ..... noone deserves to die!! So just cut the speculation and show some respect!

Rest In Peace

:grouphug:

First of all let me say that i really feel for all those that knew the victims of this accident. My honest and heartfelt condolences once again. *bows head*

Now on the other hand (absolutely dont want to be disrespectful) Skylinesaustralia has always tried to uphold an image of responsibility to the rest of the world.

Many people talk about things like this happening (incident of the BMW doing the same thing, similar circumstance, similar result) but never believe that it would happen so close to home to people we know.

Events like this are avoidable and thats why we go to great lenghts to have training days, track days etc etc, where ppl can play silly buggers in a safe, controlled environment. The turn out for these events is usually very low. However i think this kind of experience and training is invaluable in emergency situations, a few hours on a skidpan could save your life.

If we learn anything from this event its that we are not invincible and that a few thin strips of metal are not going to protect us from a lifetime of pain, can u imagine the pain the driver must feel right now knowing that he killed two of his friends. It must be horrible not to mention the famlies. This kind of event can destroy the lives of not only the people in the car but the friends and families aswell.

Be responsible guys, dont let the head between ure legs drive ure car.

Prayers, thoughts and condolences go out to all those involved.

Bam and erik - I'm terribly sorry to hear about your loss.

my thoughts are with you guys and the families, and I hope you can find some some solice in the fact that one person walked away, albeit far from unscathed.

[zanda]

Argh, in light of the fact that you have probably upset some kru, perhaps you might like to consider editing the first post.

incidentally, the notion that a car snapped a lamp post in half is ludicrous. they're designed top be frangible so that they tip over when cars hit them.

the same should go for any trees inside the "clear zone", which along leach highway would be about 8m wide.

[bless_you]

peace to those lost, and those who are living with the loss.

Bam and Erik, prays for you guys.
