Yeah he did have an amazing life, but it was cut short far to early, he still had alot left in him.What pisses me off is its allways the good people who die young.

Indeed a very sad story.

Just seems unfair that all the best people in the world are lost, yet those idiots in society still roam free.

Harsh although too may crashes in that tribute vid imo, could have shown some more of his in car when he was flat out and inch perfect.

Show's he could have been awesome at anything he put his hand to also

Great great loss

I think the tribute vid is best one I have found, even the music goes with it very well, very well done.
