edited October 2013 in The cake stop
A good friend of mine Sean Edwards was killed in Australia whilst giving instruction on a lap. He was an absolutely fantastic driver, leading the Porsche cup with recents wins this season and about to hit the real big time. He worked on the movie Rush and was truly inspirational.

Sickened.

    Everyone does, just most choose not to start a discussion about it on the Internet.

    Sad none the less.

    Let us know if you are feeling rough. Wouldn't want to miss the eulogy.

    Ps When you go, can I have your bike? I am still waiting for Arran's. :cry:

    Your the epitome of everything I hate in a man. You have consistently shown through various posts what a horrid little man you really are. For the sake of self worth you have no problem with upsetting others or causing trouble.

    I pity you, I feel for you.

    Shocking that you have been abused at such a sad time.

    potential here...this could be a proper kicking off.

    that said i feel there should be a dedicated RIP thread here, then everyone can post their condolences/eulogies/sympathies there.

    it could even be a sticky. i would suggest it to those who must not be named, but i'm already on thin ice, what with my warning level jumping 100%

    You suggest it then and the first entry onto it can be RIP playing mantis :wink:

    Maybe we could call it the Diana Syndrome thread for all those who feel the need for public expressions of grief of seemingly famous people they sort of know?

    Me too, what was that all about? Didn't last very long though.

    As for Sean Edwards, seems like a nice guy, and very sad, but nice guys do die every day unfortunately.....
