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.

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

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.

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.

      Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge

      There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater

      Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
