That's the Swiss car from Roger/Customvettes, report says both drivers were killed. I fear he is no longer with us.

My brother just told me it really was him both drivers killed.

Apparently he was overtaking another car and oversaw the oncoming mazda due to glaring sun.

Very sad

The translation isn't too good... (I'm a native german speaker)

Quotes like "both steering wheels were deadly hurt" is ironically funny..

Though unintentional, I find it highly distasteful that an ad for a broken windshield would appear next to the first posting of this thread. It appears that the ads rotate each time you review the thread... Moderator: how about showing some respect and removing this one ad? Thanks.





These photos are from digital corvettes. He said it took him 5 years to create this car. I believe it - look at it!

Truly a shame!!! For both involved and their families

From his thread, he must have been quite a talented individual.

Made me think...it could happen to any of us at any given time. Enjoy today...tomorrow may never come.
