RIP TweenieRob :(
Quote:All,
Last night, during our AGM GTROC dinner, we were recipients to some tragic news.
As most of you will no doubt have already heard, two of our forum members were involved in an accident that took the lives of two people.
From what we've understood and news reports we've read, Harry (Lamb) was driving a car in which Rob was a passenger. In circumstances as yet unknown, a head on collision with another oncoming car (Vauxhall Corsa) tragically took the life of the female driver of the Corsa, together with that of Rob's.
Harry is currently in hospital in a serious, but stable, condition.
From BBC news reports, there are allegedly 4 cars involved, the situation regarding the others is as yet unknown.
We closed the forum simply to stem the growth of any speculation as a result of the many unknown facts at the time. To respect the families and those close to the deceased, we felt it necessary to obtain all facts before reopening this forum.
As these facts are now emerging, we must stress that any continued speculation relating to this incident will be deleted immediately. As is natural with all such incidents, a formal police investigation is no doubt underway - your sensitivity and discretion is called upon. We must also respect that this is a difficult and trying time for the families and friends of those concerned - no doubt they are also privy to any information posted here.
Meanwhile, on behalf of the GTR Register and the GTR Owners Club, we'd like to pass on our sincere condolences to the family of both the 38 year old woman and our respected forum member, Rob.
We also wish a speedy recovery to Lamb and any others that were closely involved.
To finish off, please contact me via PM with any factual information that may assist us in understanding the unfolding of events so we may ensure a true understanding of the incident.

I will update this thread as I learn more. I am sure John Fuggles will also make a public statement on this when he arrives home from the AGM.

A friend of mine brought this to my attention today, apparently Rob Tweenie died last night in a fatal car crash, taken from the GTRoc (not sure if I can link to the page? admins please say if it's ok and i'll edit)
For those who didn't know of Rob Tweenie he was a Skyline enthusiast and big name tuner having a 9sec skyline himself, is a tragic loss
