Title: Tragic loss!
Post by: 69 DIRTY RAT on May 07, 2008, 08:52:07 PM

Some of you guys may have known Customvette or Roger from DigitalCorvettes and CorvetteForum. He was involved in a horiffic accident and was killed whilst driving his beautiful C3 in Switzerland. I've been following his build for quite a while, his C3 was one of the best C3's ever built! It hasnt been on the road long either, very big shame ,very sad! RIP

i dont know where the accident happened.....but could it be a case of overtaking in a left hand drive car in a right hand drive country?

Jo It wasnt a case of too much horsepower, it was just a stupid mistake! He apparently was overtaking a car when the sun was directly in his eyes, therefore not seeing the oncoming car! nifty only some Commonwealth countries like us drive on the WRONG side of the road we are a huge minority when it comes to driving on the left most of the world drives on the right side of the road!!!!!!
