This morning A very good friend of mine was sadly killed in a car accident. Some of you knew him as oldgit. He was the one who bought my 300zx a little while back and gave it back.

 

I am shattered. we have been very good friends for over 22 years and as of october last year we lived next door but one to each other.

 

He has quite a reputation thoughout the japanese car forum clubs and I am sure that many will miss him.

 

Please accept my appologies for bringing bad news to the site but TBH I felt the need to speak about it with my friends.

Thanks vini

OMG mate I'm gutted for you! Thats awful.

Very sad news, my Condolences to his family and friends.

Hi Vin, that wasn't that chap i was taking to last sunday was it?

Vini once you know yourself, could you let me know what the funeral arrangements are (dates etc), as we would like to send a sheaf/spray

'from all the members on the 300zx.co.uk Club'.

 

Thanks

 

That would be very nice Athene.

 

Thank you very much.

Yes Chris i am affraid it is the same bloke.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone for showing their sympathy I have told Daves family and they are very grateful for your kindness.

 

I am so sad to say the least. Its times like this that you realise just how many untied knots there are and the task ahead seems so long. But when you are involved with these car club forums the support is almost overwhelming and it makes the pain a whole lot less to bear.

 

Thanks very much.

Just seen this... Very very sad news, R.I.P OldGit...Thoughts are with your family and everyone close to you... You'll be missed...

I didn't realise you knew Dave. I heard through my other half today, I never met the poor guy but i'd heard of him through her.

 

I've already passed on my respects via her but my thoughts go with you too buddy

I'll Pm you buddy

Just found this thread now. Very sad news.

RIP Oldgit

I thought it would be news worth posting that the coroners report has been released today and it is confirmed that Dave did in fact die on impact. This isnt good news but comforting to know that he didnt suffer the inferno.

No he dosnt have the 300zx anymore I had it back from him on new years day. He was in he's Toyota Soarer 4.0 V8.

That is comforting to hear, i had heard previously they thought he'd been trapped while the fire started which is a horrible thought for him to go through

There was some speculation as to what had happened.

 

The facts as they are so far is that the road surface was a sheet of black ice Dave lost control and the car slid into the path of an oncoming bus.

No one else was injured or killed bud. I think one passenger on the bus suffered minor cuts to their face but everyone else got out OK. Dave didnt have any passengers in he's car.
