Sad. He was a real car guy too. Died as a passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT. Hit a tree and was fully engulfed in flames.

RIP. Dude, I almost had you.

Re: Paul Walker memorial Meet

by Admin Today at 9:32 pm
This memorial meet belongs to all the fans... it is NOT organized by us.. we are just the medium that transfers the information.

What seems to be like the right thing to do is this:

Sunday, Dec 8, 2013
at 10 am. at the famous socal fast and the furious spot Neptune's Net.

42505 Pacific Coast Hwy
Malibu, CA 90265

Drive slow, be cautious. Respect what this is for.
And go at your own discretion aka assume the risk.

expecting a lot of people so park along PCH where you can find a spot..

Our advise: if someone is in touch with the place let them know so they could decide if they need/want to inform the local authorities in order to make this proper. Since this location always gets tons of people and is known to be a popular public site we assume they will know what to do.

Its still carbon fiber vs a tree head on, youre gonna lose that one everytime. At high speed its like a blade cutting through the car. Fuel tank cracks or breaks and its over. Those GT's are known for being hard to handle.

He struck a light too right? That may have caused the fire as well but either way highly doubt it was the fire itself that killed them at least I hope they weren't burned alive
