Very, Very Unfortunate News...

[Beer Baron]

very sad news. sorry to hear of two young guys loosing their lives. anything can happen in a car at any time and it's not necessarily a reflection on them or us that tragedies like this happen. it can and does happen to people all the time on our roads.

my condolences to their families and friends, it's so sad to see another's life cut short.

tragic stuff. Only found out today. I remember from Gerard's posts and his responses to some of mine it was clear he was a man passionate about his cars and engineering. He was very quick at the track in an mx too.

Good to see the SAU and cartalk communities responding so thoughtfully.

Thinking of everyone who was close to him and Tom

[StinkyPoo]

I just heard about this from IDA. Very sad news indeed. I remember meeting Tom a few times during my early drift days at Oran park.

My sincerest condolences to family and friends.

RIP.

Just returned home from Nicks.

Alex it was a wonderful service and 'im sure Gerard would of been proud..

Once again i'm very sorry for your loss but you held yourself together beautifully on a very emotional day.

Although I didn't know him as well as most of you it was good to pay my respects to the first person that welcomed me to the world of racing..

I wish I had a chance to get to know him more then what I did on the occasions we spoke.

[-alex]

Thanks to all that attending and to all that lent their support.

It was a beautiful day for a very beautful guy.

I am so happy with how everything went, he was spoilt the whole time.

I doubt anyone has had a more awesome coffin..!

Mazdaspeed herro kitteh is now with him forever (heheheh and he thought he could get rid of it by taking it off the car =P)

Thanks again..!

much love
