His family have my sympathy, but I don't think he deserves any more sympathy than anybody else who looses their life in a car accident just because he was in a few films.

Thank you Andy! The only thing I've read on Facebook today, It's saddening that this has happened, but there is a limit to how much of the same thing you can read in one day.

I got accused of poor taste on FB of pointing out the irony of an actor who is famous for playing an illegal street-racer dying in a high-speed car accident while out joyriding.

Obviously his daugher and immediate family will be devastated and they have my sympathy, but the fact does remain that lots of people die in car accidents every week and he was out larking about in a road-legal racecar.

Metric is for people who can't do fractions.

Well said Andy, from the pictures on the internet this was no 30mph bump into a lampost.

(expects to get flamed but it's my opinion).

This is one of the reasons we got rid of the metro van and why I'm only building a moderately fast mini. It's far too easy to drive far too fast on the road. It only takes a slight misjudgement and it's game over.

Speeding in the wrong place kills.

Again well said Andy, Rod i expect the lamp post was doing 100, the same thing happened when the jackass err jackass killed himself and his friend in another porsche while drink driving people got really irate when drink driving and the obvious high speed was pointed out again the tree was doing at least 100!

He seemed a very nice guy, genuinely into cars....

....I bet the Carrera GT got them smiling from ear to ear until the accident happened, fortunately no innocent passers by were involved! Still sucks though...

My sympatys go out to both the drivers and Pauls family as well as all the other familys in the world that have had relitives killed in car accidients.

At the end of the day a motor vehicle is as dangerous as a gun.
