Today we’ve learned of the tragic death of one of the stars of The Fast and The Furious movie franchise, 40 year old Paul Walker.

Paul died whilst on his way to a charity event, travelling as a passenger in a Porsche that crashed into a post and caught fire in Los Angeles.

We know that if you’re a reader of this blog you’re probably into cars, especially fast ones. We’re often guilty of glorifying speed here. Sometimes it’s worth remembering that the consequences, never shown in the movies in which Paul starred, are very real.

Please drive responsibly. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Paul and the driver of the Porsche during this tragedy. Paul leaves behind a 15 year old daughter.
