Just read the sun article he didn't stand a chance  also read the daily mail comments some of those comments are terrible, did not deserve to die, i hope the driver who was driving the car gets punished, i think it would be a good idea if Simo could make a sticker like a saxperience one for the rear window saying rip gav, i'll certainly do a lap round rockingham  i met him a few times and was a nice lad and will be really missed alot.

some people are right nobheads, bragging about someones death and as for the dailymail, there a joke.
got to be someone close selling stories to the sun paper for money (sick basterds) whoever they are, and asfor getting things wrong, he wanted an evo.
they need to think what it is doing for his dad.
hope the driver gets ass raped or killed himself, for being a complete cock
R.I.P mate, u did nothing wrong. u didnt deserve to go.

There is an ancient chinese saying:

See also my signature.
I today built a "Cairn" which is a stone memorial to remember people with. It is on the banks of Loch Ness which is a stunning quiet peaceful area.
It isn't anything special, but it was the only way I could think of doing something for him before Friday seeing as I am away from home.
Sorry if it isn't amazing, I sat there for 5 mins tear in eye after i'd finished it.
Damo, you were spot on with your reply on facebook

I feel like goin and knocking on some of them posters on daily mail site. It makes me so angry how he was classed as a boy racer
"when will these boy racers ever learn...stop thinkin it makes you look cool....its not big its not clever...showing off"
Gav was a passenger....becouse he was doing more than the speed limit and that hes male hes obviously a boy racer  wtf tbh
If the daily mail worded it differently, without all the boy racer jibberish the comments would be completley different, even if they name Gav as a Gentleman, somthing as pathetic as that would change the commenters views.
Pissed off is not the word that im feeling right now.

Re: RIP Gav collier / Japman x
Just thought I would post again after Reading both the daily mail and the sun websites. The daily mail are terrible tbh gav wasn't a boy racer he was a car enthusiast and the bullshite about him buying the dream hothatch for his 21st is bullshite too because he has owned 106's before iirc.
Makes you sick the things they write about people.
The comments that were made on the daily mail website are awful people who don't know gav saying terrible things.
Thoughts go out to his dad and his close friends for Friday.
Rest in piece gavin collier.

I just can't get over some of the comments on the daily mail story.
Makes me sick to think I share a country with people like them.
Just completely stunned at the lack of thought that has gone into there posts.
