Jesus Wept !
We have a thread with some goon banging on about getting up to insanse speed on a public road (where the public have a right to travel safely and not be terrorised by some idiot in a tank of a car), and then we this thread where people are uring others to drive with more care.
Ye guys really need to figure out which you are. safe or not safe. It's not safe doing 155 MPH on a public road, it's not save overtaking on bends either.
Excessive speed kills.
If you want to speed or "top out" then go to a track with other idiots and get in an accident there. Leave the public roads for public users who respect speed limits.

If someone who doesn't know what he's doing makes an ass of himself and gets hurt, or (God forbid) worse, its almost like he got what he deserved, but when innocent people suffer from it, it is trully tragic.

Thanks he's in a better place now. I feel worse for my dad. I didnt really know my uncle too tell because he lived in greece.

It's hard to know what to do for someone at a time like this. I think sometimes the most you can do is just be there if they do want to talk. And keep yourself safe. That's always the first thing that enters a parents mind....it could have been you.

Take care. We'll all be thinking of you and your family.
