This is a very unfortunate series of events, and although horrific to read through the forum pages and news articles, it serves to remind us of our fragile mortality when behind the wheel or in the passenger seat of a car.

Appologys if you have seem this posted around alot on other car forums, I thought it needed to be brought to peoples attention.

Thankyou Freddie, sadly we are not invincible and all forms of motorsport includes an element of danger. Its not till you lose a friend or come close to a serious accident yourself that you start to realise how precious life is. Keep it safe and enjoy your car has to be the motto.
