ffs. its even worse that he was a passenger to someone elses ineptitude.

absolutely gutted :'(

That's being a bit presumptuous isn't it when the full details of the crash beyond the impact haven't been released, or inded possibly aren't known?
Don't get me wrong, it seems likely to be a case of "watch this!" but probably best not to jump to conclusions about someone who's died.

RIP Paul.

Had the newest F&F on DVD for a while but never got round to watching it. Don't think I'll enjoy it now.

I'm the same. Just got the recent film for my birthday, as I loved the franchise of films. Sad to see him no longer with us. RIP

Just woke up this... gutted isn't the word.

A true inspiration whether you liked the movies or not.

RIP Paul

Yep I know, but unless you know something we don't yet crashes aren't always driver error.

Sad news

[TobyLaRohne]

It was his business partner driving, Roger Rodas who was driving. There is a video online of the car a couple of minutes after the accident where the car is starting to burn that I won't be posting a link to but its apparent from the parts of the car that are scattered far and wide that it was a very big one.

Absolutely gutted cant really believe it. Seemed like a good guy and a true petrolhead by all accounts.

Rip Paul condolences to family and friends.

[sparks_E39]

Genuinely saddened.

Very sad indeed, I've always liked the FF films, they have given rise to much mirth in their inaccuracies, but have also brought a new generation of petrolheads into the fray. A terrible shame, RIP Paul, I hope there's a 27 speed Skyline in the sky for you

[chilistrucker]

sad news.

[Pesty]

Real shame never a f&f fan but he always came across very well in interviews seemed a genuinely nice guy.

He was however in one of my favourite films, running scared. A great over looked crime thriller with a twist.

Yep.

Very sad news,

That car looks unrecognisable

[ajprice]

RIP. Sad news to wake up to.

I saw it on my Facebook feed too, firstly from IMDB, which was all very respectful, and then a shared Daily Mail post, which, EE, wasn't.

[supermanraf]

Very sad news, a genuine petrolhead, a big lover of E36 M3's, and A good actor too, and did a lot of charity work as well, a father too, so very sad,and a real shame,

Bugger. Thought (hoped) this would be a hoax.

[Dick Dastardly]

Loved the first F&F film. Gonna convince the wife to watch it later in tribute.

RIP
