Guys, remember that there may be members here, or readers that knew the people deceased

It will not be tolerated to make fun of the situation, mistake or not in driving 2 people are dead and it doesnt help us as car lovers

let us know jenkins

by the footage on the news i'm gonna estimate 210-220kmph . car parts scattered everywhere, none is invincible and you bound to get whats coming... so just don't speed and you won't have a problem. i havn't sped an i've had my license a week... it isn't worth it in the end.

360 Modena the Ferrari was. What a shocking waste of a Beautiful Car and two young lives simply because someone partook in a moment of fatal idiocy.

Just a shocking waste, when will people learn to drive the "supercars" that they can so wrongly afford????

Condolences to the families of the deceased.

Just goes to show how serious speeding is bound to end in tears one way or another.

That's why I fly jets.

So wrongly afford? Is it wrong to be able to afford a Ferrari? or a Bugatti for that matter? Or are you aiming for the lack of skill/responsibility/brains?

I read this as the latter.. Lack of skill/resposibility/grey matter.
