tragic loss of life for no apparent reason

Saw that in the news a while ago.  Interesting to see his posts.  Not that atypical for the age actually, sounds more intelligent that the Mustang/Camero crowd.  :-/

The other kids' parents' lawyers are going to have a field day if they find his posts.

Hate to disagree mate but there is a reason, stupid young driver in a car far more powerful than he can handle showing off to his mates.

i was being polite but when you read his post about max this and max that i would have to agree with you to much power and to little ability
i dont know much about M5S but i know my son wouldnt be allowed  one at 18

Unfortunatly I find it very hard to be polite about incidents like this, I feel for the families of those invovled, especially the families of the friends but I can't help but feel that this idiot did us all a favour by removing himself from the gene pool. What shocks me most is that there is no law stopping drivers with little or no experience jumping in very powerful car and driving it on public roads. Why is a car licence not like a bike licence where you are limited as to what you can ride power wise until you have the skill to handle a faster machine. Its a mirical this moron didn't kill more people.

Sorry to be pedantic, but it wasn't a public road.  He could have been 12 years old and it would have been legal.

The parents were irresponsible to give him that sort of car.

wasn't it talked about a while ago a young lad in a Ferrari did a similar thing ,but nothing came of it

[The Elite]

It wasn't a public road this time, but it does say he was looking into airfields to do it legally. He'd already been talking about 'maxing it' so im assuming he wasn't do this on his drive. I don't mind people winding it up a bit aslong as they do it responibly. I don't call going fast enough to hit the top of a tree in a car that weighs the same as the titanic whilst 5 up responsible.
