Skyline crash

[GeneralSpeed]

Saw the news today, apparently a guy (and his white skyline) are dead - wrapped around a tree near the gold coast. Hopefully not someone from here?

I heard about this on another forum and I hadn't heard anything about it. Lots of rumours going around about what happened.

Condolances to his family and friends

Yep saw it on the Gold Coast News last night.

My condolences also to his family and friends, a tragedy.

Hope it wasn't anyone from here.

Car was completely wrapped around a tree, he sure as hell was no where near the speed limit when he hit it because there was not a lot of the car left at all. The front and rear bumpers were almost touching, thats how wrapped around the tree it was.

It was on a suburban street with a 50K limit after he had left the highway, not on the highway as reported in the news link.

Apparantly he died on the way to hospital.

(That is what was reported on the news)

I think the police will go ballistic on Skyline owners for the next month or so, it was a pretty horrific crash, the police officer on the scene was nearly in tears when interviewed last night

Please drive safely people, common sense, we don't need anymore fatalities on the road this year.

tragic..

a 37 year old.. if it had been anybody under 25 there would have been an outcry. Its not just young people that can do stupid things on the roads.

A tradgedy and yet so not nessasary, and to think that all skyline/modified vehicle owners will be targeted now for this fatal mistake.

My Respects to his family and friends.

he must of been going fairly quick to be pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital !

thats the first skyline accident i've ever herd of.

atleast we know the its not always the young divers in skylines that have accidents

yeah i saw it in the local paper here.

looks pretty wraped around the pole. the drivers side door was totally wraped around the pole and were the driver sits is were the pole is, then the front and rear of the car is warped around the pole also. looks like he hit it at about 130ish

[nismoman18]

what a shame too it was a very nice looking skyline! feel for his family

[MotoX]

i want his front bar. (no disrespect)

Definately a lesson to be learned.

He was seriously motoring, in the wet, in a suburban street. Saw the picture on the front page of the Bulletin, didn't even need to read the article to know that it was fatal.

Sad to see it happen so graphically.

my mate worked 4 shops up from this guy...

after seeing comments made on boostcruising.. makes you think how *descriptive word here* that website really is... worried about 'their image' due to this unfortunate accident and his blatant disrespect for road rules and the law, but its ok for them to post and brag about 'fulli sikk dohrifto' on Mt Nebo for all to read.

So the comments by some little teenage dipshits tells you that the website is ****ed up?

Gee.. shows how much notice you pay to the members of the site. One person opinion on something does not mean everyone on the site thinks the same thing. People are allowed to have opinions and not everyone is going to agree with them. I believe that somethings in that thread weren't called for, but theres no need to brand us all in the same catagory

He shouldn't have been speeding in a 50km/h zone, especially in the wet.

skyrine dave does have a good point about the site. They do comment on how he was doing the wrong thing then do the same themselves. I know cuz im there on a few of them! Besides that, lets get back to the topic on hand. Very sorry to hear about it. Makes you wonder if your gonna loose one of your mates next in something like this as i know the majority of my mates are in the car scene. We went on a run one night and my mate's brakes faded coming down the hill and he luckily pulled up just before the wall.

I'm a strong believer that everyone was put on earth for a reason, to touch someones heart? to succeed? to make someone happy? and when your time is up, your time is up.

I know if I died, I rather die in my car than anywhere else. It's my baby, my life.

[Mase]

yeah i agree ng. I don't think i'd like to die in my car for the fact of my relatives and people that i know all going, "i knew he was gonna kill himself in that car" and

"I told you he was a crazy driver" or something like that.

you were on the cruise the other night hey? I had the multicoloured car!!! hehe

i know you are a member and have been for a long time.

i registered there a loong time ago too. I know there are the old skool members who stay together.. I am just sayin... it is a public website, and the opinions and views expressed by the minorty shine off onto the majority... ie 1 hoon makes the rest of the 'car enthusiasts' look bad.

as for members these days... doesnt take much. I do know back in the day members were the close friends etc.

bah never mind i am venting my disgust at what was said on that forum/topic

Heard this by word of mouth today and just found this thread.. RIP

No sign of disrespect - But can anyone post a picture that was posted in the newspaper? Was it on the news at all?

I think posting something like this is a good idea anyway, gives everyone something to think about considering we are all driving the same 'weapon' that he died in

by weapon i mean good weapon, only when used properly though

ill be checking 10 late news anyway

[strutto]

RIP...

Condolences to the friends and family...

i cannot post it, but i looked at it tonight. its very bad, the driver stood no chance, he must have been flat on the boards.

interesting to note the rego number, xxx-Ixx, so i would assume that the car was only recently aquired

i will not post the full rego, it saddens me that it happened. A reminder that wet weather and speed do not go together and driving in situations such as that should not be taken lightly.

may he rest in peace whoever he was.
