blondejamtart Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 David Leslie, Scottish racing driver, was one of those killed in the light plane crash down south yesterday. Sad loss to Scottish motorsport, and god knows, we've lost quite a few of the good guys recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveofthegame Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Bad news this plane crash, altho admittedly ive never heard of David Leslie.... You wouldnt get me up in 1 of these small planes for all the tea in China, seems they are a lot less safe than their bigger brother, the Jumbo Jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us blokes, what are we like eh ??? "Mrs Harman arrived at what was left of her home just after the crash and sobbed: 'Oh my God, oh my God, the house, not the house, a plane into my house...' . She was led away by a male relative. Her husband said he would be completing his golf trip before returning home tomorrow."

Drew Busby !

An outstanding example to all blokes everywhere. "House hit by a plane you say darling ? Don't sweat it dear, I've only got the one more round to play then I'll be home and sort it all out. Just give your sister a call and stay at her place tonight. Bye-ee !". Move over John Smeaton, this is MY kind of man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move over John Smeaton, this is MY kind of man The choice is: 1. Stay with your mates and sleep somewhere where there are 4 walls, windows and a roof or 2. Pay extra for an early trip back to a house that's a wreck and a hysterical wife. I know which one I'd do. (Yeah - 2. I'm so under the thumb!)

marshallschunkychicken Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Spent a lot of time as a privateer if I recall correctly. Never a huge success but won races in the double figures, and was well respected in the BTCC paddock. Sad loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wattie Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 He was a very good racing driver in his day, one of the top names in touring cars in the nineties when I used to avidly follow the BTCC. A sad day for the sport, RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Jambo 60 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Spent a lot of time as a privateer if I recall correctly. Never a huge success but won races in the double figures, and was well respected in the BTCC paddock. Sad loss. I was glued to the tv when the tragedy happened. I hate flying , and again this proved to me why i hate it. We were not born to fly and when it goes wrong it goes very wrong. In 2005 i went to Gran Canaria with my familly. I said to my wife if i fly ,you will sit your driving test , i flew , but the L plates are still there.
