Topic on Passionford.

Surely clicking to see would be quicker than posting?

1. There is no link anymore here :p
2. He's asking because the passionford thread now asks for a user/password which it didn't before - so it's probably been deleted. Asking here (in the hope someone here is a member) is quicker than registering to find out.
 
Surely clicking to see would be quicker than posting?
Surely typing Yes or No would have been quicker than typing the above?

I have found the thread, but don't see much point in registering to find it's deleted or moved.



Edit: Thank you Wicksta ^

Can someone summarise for those of us who missed it?

Picture of crashed car is posted.
Seems the driver died, passengers badly injured, one paralysed.
A single lone photo of a screw is also posted, said to be from the road that was 'littered' with them. (Though I have to say, in the video posted later, where people are all milling about by the road, you'd think someone would have noticed these supposed screws covering the road surface next to them...)
Outrage ensues as some people criticise street racing, and others get offended.

It was basically 12 pages of some people trying to discuss the crash and how it might have happened all whilst a bunch of illiterate chavs were posting 'hav sum **n respekt u evil ****s' every other post.

Popular street racing area.
Someone apparently gets angry at the racing and possibly glues nails to the road.
Guy drives at a speed estimated to be 100 more than the limit and has a blowout.
Driver is killed, passenger fully paralysed and other with many many broken bones.
 
Hmm.

Well RIP to the guy, but guessing it was his fault if he was racing so I feel more sorry for his friends/family and the other injured parties.

Is there any proof that there were nails over the road, or just that one picture posted in this thread? Because that looks iffy at best - I could post a picture of a machetti and say that's what killed him...doesnt make it true

Ultimately, what's done is done so arguments and speculation are pointless. The best thing that can come of this is greater police awareness of the areas that people are racing in so they can stop the idiots doing it
 
Theres another thread started on there now. Some guy seems to claim speeds over 100mph plus and the passengers aint in the best of shapes
 
Very sad that there are mentally retarded people who glue nails to the road. If it's true.
The thought of people trying to justify it with the "Well, if he was going to speed limit he'd be okay" excuse physically makes me sick.
Agreed.

I dont think its true to be honest.. Going off that video noise and that alone it just sounds like he lost control.
 
We'll see in the future probably, if it is true what they said then there will no doubt be news coverage about this...

If he just lost control then RIP, and sad about the paralysis. They all knew the risks when getting in the car, probably had a lot of fun before the crash, especially the driver probably didn't mind dying doing what he loves else he wouldn't do it. The guys who have to heal in the hospital have probably learned their lesson or will return to doing it if they love it, the saddest thing is the guy who got paralyzed because of it and the families of the dead driver and the paralyzed guy.

But if he had a blowout, and because of a nail, then I hope they find the culprit and burn his house down, and at least jail him for life.


I would never be sick of people racing near my home, I'd go out and enjoy watching the race.

Are you for real? You honestly think he wouldn't have minded dying...for that?

I've no idea what he was driving, but you think anyone would be willing to give their life to drive some sort of chavved up ford around the streets? It's one thing if we were talking about a forumla 1 driver who died in Monaco, but this? You seriously think he'd be happy to make the ultimate sacrifice for......well, for what? Whats he achieved? What 'glory' makes the pain and suffering of his family worthwhile?

The very problem with the people who do these things, yourself included I fear, is that they think they are invincible. I've been there and it took a nasty accident to calm me down so i understand this feeling of invincibility. I very much doubt he set out that night with a realistic appreciation of the consequences of his actions.
 
They were clearly using the cars inappropriately on a public road, I feel sorry for the family and I hope the people that survived learned something from their friends death.

I would hope that someone wouldn't be so cruel as to glue nails to a road but who knows.

I'd think he'd rather die doing what he likes to do by some nasty disease or so. Not implying he wanted to die, but if he had a choice to die, he'd rather die doing what he liked I think. Of course it's not worthwhile I think, but he may have thought differently. He knew the risks of doing 100+ mph in that place.

I don't do these things, I said I would watch others doing it if I saw it happening, I don't want to risk it myself, but would highly enjoy watching it.




Don't flatter yourself janesy B, the real world is certainly not the rich geeky population of OcUK ( which admit it, 90% of this forum is) and their opinions...

I'll probably regret admitting this, but I can half see where he is coming from. Don't get me wrong, I'd hate to die before I've had the chance to live my life, but I can certainly think of worse ways of going out than doing something that you love in a car that you love.
