Bad R33(?) smash at Mt Martha

[SteveL]

Just saw what looked like the remains of an R33 on the news. I say 'looked like' cos the it was pretty much unrecognisable from the rear of the doors forwards. Hit a tree at high speed and then caught fire. Driver and front seat passenger incinerated (probably killed instantly anyway), two rear passengers dragged from the wreckage and now in intensive care.

Hope no one here was involved....

Condolances....

From the mag wheel, it maybe a GT-R? I can't make out whether there's a big wheel arch bulge in the rear quarter panel as it's been burnt badly... But the rear wing seems to be a series 2 skyline (the square style)

Quite a sad news...

Never met him but the driver was a friends last boy freind. Had the car for about 6-12months i think and it had a fair bit of work done to it. Shame people had to lose their life.

Was a black 33 gtst very heavily worked. He only had it for about 3 months. My condolances go out to his family as well as the family of the passenger. It is not upto me to release any names or details of the car, suffice to say there is only half a recognisable car left.

Words cannot describe the toll and burden that the famililes must now endure. This should serve as a timely reminder to everyone who drives a high powered car to be careful and if you are doing something dangerous....make sure you are alone.

I'm with RedR32 condolences to all family and friends tragic loss the guy was one of the nicest guys I have ever met... Just a reminder that the roads can be a dangerous place and high power cars need to be treated with respect.

[ex-static]

My condolences as well, it really is a tradgey when something like this happens to good people.

Agreed with ice180 on this, hi-powered cars can be quite dangerous on the roads.

the driver of the 33gtst was a very good friend of nigel my business partner,and someone that i had known now for 1.5 years.

Best Regards.

Gerald and Nige.

Im really sorry to hear about what could only be described as a tragedy. It has opened my eyes to the reality of what we each risk when we turn these cars which we love on. As stated we are not invincible and this pretty much proves it.

My condollences go out to the families and friends of all those involved and hope that we never have to hear or see anything like this happen to anyone from here or anywhere else.

Drive safe.

Cheers,

Ni.

I only meet joel once at ice performance, i was under the hood of my car try to work something out. He came along to see what the problem was, and was very eager to help. Even though we spoke for a few minutes, u knew what kind of person he was, he was a TOP BLOKE

R.I.P dude

We will all miss ya

[xRHETTx]

My condolences go out to frooends and family of the guys that were involved in the smash at MT. Martha.

I live just down the road from the accident in MT Martha and drive down that rd at least twice a day. Very dangerous, lots of bends and hills. In the wet even going at 60 (the speed limit) is sketchy if u dont know the road well.

Thanks also go out to the locals who got the other 2 guys out of the car before it exploded. Absolute heros.

[ice180]

I'll echo that from what I heard they are very very lucky to be alive thanks to those guys quick actions

You are a farken idiot...

Two peole lost their lives, another two are in the hospital in critical condition scarred for life and you are worried about the car.

Choose your words a bit more appropriately in these kind of situations.
