Default Black TT crashed in Belgium

Sunday 6:00 A.M. a black TT crashed on a highway in Belgium. Driver lost control (he had to avoid something)and flew through the median strip. At that moment he was caught by a spannisch truck driver comming from the other direction. The truck has drag the Audi for 1000 meters. The car has caught fire and is totaly burned out. A 21 year old boy and his 19 year old girlfriend are carbonized (I hope this is the right word).
I'm sorry if I sound rude because of the words I have chosen. I speak dutch.
I was very chocked as my TT is only 1 month away.

Default A Lear Jet crashed yesterday in France...............your point is???

Car crashes, unfortunate as they are, happen all the time, in all types of car.

Law of averages says some will be TT's.

No disrespect to those that perished.

Default My point is ...

If a spectacular car crash happens with a car you just bought and are about the receive within a month it feels funny. I know cars can crash and plaines and bikes and ... it was just a horrifying accident I would like to share.

Default David Coulthard was in this Learjet with his wife. They 're OK, unlike the pilots.

Default Re: Black TT crashed in Belgium - and????

Rate of speed??
how long driving?

people crash every day - and don't use a TT to do it - what would make this a "big deal" is if there was some massive failure of the control system that caused it. And I doubt that is the case.
