:dapprove: we all do things maybe we shouldnt like speed, just some are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
 
  80MPG BEEZA
god cant watch it all in one go net's playing up, got to the but where his said he had a clio cup for a grand total of 3 days before killing himself that would say to me pushing the car beyond its limits and his own, some people dont realise how fast these cars can go
 
  80MPG BEEZA
whaaa just seen the pictures now, i have NEVER seen a clio in that state before and i've seen some really bad ones on here, but i mean its torn the whole rear quarter away, but look its in a residential area he must have been doing absolutely crazy speeds crazy crazy speeds to do that sort of damage, look at how far the white car is away like his hit that at some point and sent it flying, glad one of the only limits i stick to is 30mph

I feel sorry for his best mate, it must be awful to think it your fault. People always think it wont happen to them.

That is a heart wrenching to watch. Rip Matthew and my sympathy to his family. It was brave of them to put themselves forward to try and stop it from happening to somebody else.

i think this possibly "might" be a mate of someone of here (i might be wrong)

the car doesn't look that bad, i've seen worse, but still, poor guy, poor family :(

So sad and such a waste of a life, the cup was pretty much destroyed shocking stuff.

  172 Cup
That's some bad s**t, there has certainly been some Cup write-offs in the past hasn't there folks? Just a shame lives are lost at the same time.

After listening to the story it seems his mate overtook him and then the guy driving the Cup re-overtook the other guy in the face of oncoming traffic and subsequently clipped the island. He paid the ultimate price.

Deffinitely makes you stop and think though, when you see pictures like that. *looks at own Cup - *gulp*

just watched that video and has made me stop and think, is it really worth dropping it down a gear to maybe get a couple of car lengths ahead. the answer is always going to be no, let whoever the idiot behind you wanting a race just go past. Life is to precious to throw anyway all for a car. Sad sad Video RIP matthew :(

Poor guy,

But end of the day he was racing in a residential area! bet he was doing 70 odd in a 30 zone, he was an accident waiting to happen.

Lesson to us all.

RIP

We've all done crazy things in the past & most get away from it
Think twice next time you want to race someone..just think of the
consequences.........................save racing for the track

very moving, i wonder if the lad who overtook him first got any sort of penalty. I know it wasnt entirley his fault though.

anyone who races or takes risks can end up like this. I was in a bad car wreck and lost my best mate, he was driving.

terrible, makes you think how many times you put yourself in danger every day...these cars we drive have to be treated with the utmost respect - one moment of stupidity can result in this.

RIP

Thats an awful video. The piccys of that cup are eye opening. How a car can just be destroyed like the way u crush a can in ur hand. My mate from blackburn knew this lad aswel, not very well but had met him a few times through a mate.

R.I.P. an next time i see a t**t overtake me im just gna sit there an think, dont wanna end up like u mate cause iv had SOO many close calls racing ppl. One of my mates brother died 2 years ago from racing, similar scenario as this, was overtaken and overtook again and swerved hit a car then a 10 foot brick wall. His car was like summat ud find at the crushers.
 
  "Navy" N17 TWO
Very sad :(
The whole Coldplay part sent shivers through me - bigtime fan of Coldplay since "In My Place" was played at a mates funeral.

I can't stand people who think they are invincible on the public road - in any form of "having a laugh"

Teenage girl killed the other day close to home on our roads here :dapprove:

If I look back to how invincible I felt when I was younger, this really hammers it home that you are not!

I dont feel sorry for him, I feel sorry for his family as theyre the ones he fucked up by driving like a c**k.

Just another boy racer driving for the moment and not thinking about the consequences.
