Can we help??

Not sure if this has already being posted, or in the right section but saw this on face book and it really got to me..
scoobynet

now I aint the biggest fan of scoobies , but maybe a club presence would be a good sign of respect..

G

What a terrible situation. My heart really goes out for them

This was the worst part... poor kid - waste of a life

That is terrible. Im a father myself and im typing this now on the brink of tears.

My heart goes out to that brave little boy and his proud mother and father.

Words can't explain how sad and how much my heart goes out to you all.

Have a good day and hopefully a day to remember.

Shall we go?

Surely we should go??
I will have to use the 147GTA but it would e nice to turn up as a club.

I was thinking the same Marco.

Bloody hell
My heart goes out. I hope he can achieve what he want's. I'm sure he will as forums like that and this will pull together when things really matter. I wish I could go but I cannot

Put things into perspective doesn't it!

Im going to post this on the othere forums Im on. Speechless

words can't descibe - having 3 little boys myself I couldn't even begin to contemplate what it must be like, it make me feel a bit sick / time to hide from the world.

I'm going to go, not far from me at all.

I'm game to make this, assuming my Plus is back from JBT by then.....Marco/Mario let me know your timings, I can meet you near the M1 on the day

Also as a father, this is the worst nightmare any parent could face

Can we start a list of who can go please, I am a little surprised that more names aren't being put forward to go to this very special day, or maybe get a collection started for the family or a charity of there choice?

Can someone off the board help me start a collection/account please
Thanks lesa

If we could have a bunch of club memebrs turn up that would be fantastic. I am at a wedding that weekend, plus more importantly I don't own a coupe anymore, but would be great to show some support for this.

It says any and all cars welcome!

well its set then.
im going.

can a mod set a social meet and link it to this page please?

@ Proccy - im mapping a route now..
its around 3 hours for me..

Awful times for the family, Its too far for me, I hope this is a drem come true for the little man.

Chrissy

Thanks Paul!!

fingers crossed for 10 people +

No worries fella, been a father myself I can only imagine what he's going through.

Well done boys

It's truly heartbreaking for the parents and family to have to come to terms with this devastatingly sad news what courage they are showing, that letter has me in tears as I am writing, you just never know what's awaiting you in life and I can speak from experience I had a heart attack was fortunate to recover had the bypass and cherish each day and the time I can spend with my children and grandchildren.

Reading everything over there on Scoobynet really does bring back my faith in humanity! Amazing response from the whole car community and not just from the UK now it seems.

What a devastating story. Kids should be spared the shit that can happen in life, as we know from this forum it isn't always the case.

I agree with T_V the response has proved that by and large people are decent, despite what the press would have us believe. Looks like he's going to need a bigger venue.

We need to check on this event, I've just had a text to say that it's an invite only event now due to the large numbers of people wishing to attend. The venue can only hold between 1000-1500 cars.

Is anyone on there that can ask the question?

There appears to be a separate thread for clubs to book club multiple attendees here

As a parent it's not something you would even want to think about .

If I were ever given a wish it wouldn't be for money or power but that my kids would live happy healthy lives.

Well done for hosting this, I will definitely go if there's room.

I'm not a parent but don't have to be to realise the gravitas!

I'll be willing to help out!

Yeah there's room John.

This is horrendous............

Hope the day works out for them all.

Just received this email can anyone on here help with this

Hi all
 
Sorry for this email but your emails are the only ones I could find…
 
I picked up this thread from the Yorkshire mafia business network.
 
I will be bringing my XKR up to Huddersfield on Saturday afternoon – it is the least I can do…
 
I have also tried to contact Chris Evans to try and get tickets for the lad and his dad to car fest North which is being held that weekend – a trip there on Sunday would surely be good value…
 
Perhaps you guys can forward this on to everyone so we can try and get to Chris Evans/Top Gear to get some tickets
 
Many thanks
 
Martyn

Hi Chris
 
Can you have a look on the link below and see if you can help. I picked it up from a business network we have up here called the ‘Yorkshire Mafia’. I don’t know the family but we try and support our Yorkshire brothers and sisters up here…
 
I will be having a run over on Saturday afternoon to help this lad and his dad.
 
I have two tickets for Carfest North on Sunday and wondered if you can get hold of two tickets for this lad and his dad or arrange for them to get in??????? – I will give my two tickets up if required…
 
Please read the link below
