Anyone fancy sharing a room at £26 each? You can share my bed (as many members on here have) or we can rock,paper & scissors for how gets the fold out sofa.

There was a very sombre mood there today after this happened. Me and our lass had literally been browsing in the jumble area where the guy came off minutes before it happened. Was walking back along the side of the track then the ambulances started. Helicopter was there in minutes. I must admit I'm glad I didn't see it. The announcer seemed to be quite calm which I took as a good sign that nobody was really badly injured so I'm hopeful and optimistic they are all ok.
Had enjoyed the day up to then but stuff like that suddenly makes it very sobering.

Hope all goes well to those who were injured.

Over all a good show. Weather got better which makes or breaks a show. Good laugh with the usual. Can't fault it.

Wouldn't be put off by this accident. Apparently it was a snap-off steering wheel that caused the crash?
Title: Re: GTI International 2012 - forum get together - chat thread
Post by: Dawnskaybug on 25 June 2012, 19:57
Good to hear at least the 2 are OK. I saw the Helicopter when I was getting food and was like WTF?? Then I heard the announcer say there were 3 casualties.. In American English casualties means deaths.  My wife and I were in shock then I asked someone if casualtiy meant they were dead. The told me no.
2 years ago in Oklahoma a cars throttle got stuck and went out of control. It hit a barrier flipped over it and killed my friends girlfriend.
They could of least filled the barriers with water.

me, my mate & mad4vw's was stood in the same place where the leon went into the crowd. Then we went to the jumbo section and then went back to start of the drag strip area & i said to my mate lets go at the top his like naaa its better here 2mins later a leon goes into the other lane into the plasic boxes then flies into the air and BANG onto the track & into the barriers. I saw 3 people on the floor (my heart sank!!)and i was praying that they wasnt hurt also was thinking sh!t mad4vw's was there so quickly ran there. Saw 3 people laid on the floor. A guy on his own & it looked like a couple. The guy on his own was talking and the couple wernt (thats what i saw) then the air ambulannce came. F*cked my day up! Hope they all ok!!!

Good to hear your both ok, sounded nasty and by the sounds of it could have been far worse. Hope you both get better soon mate (and buy a blo0dy lottery ticket!)

Hope the other chap is ok, was that the driver?

Good to hear you two are ok! Let's hope it's the same story for the other involved.
