Adam Norton, 22, Gareth's uncle, said: "They were both caring lads, both top lads who look after their mates. Just good lads and it's a terrible shame what's happened and the way they've gone."

Unfortunately, the word "stolen" takes away most of my sympathy, sorry if that seems heartless.
Luckily no innocent bystanders were involved.

Have to say i reckon up to the age of 25 I drove like an eejut.Just to rephrase that...didn't think I had limits to my capabilities
Appreciate it was a stolen car but i really do think kids drive like idiots generally

I do believe there are too many families/parent negating responsibility by convincing themselves that their kids are "good lads/girls" when in fact they are out stealing property and endangering lives, causing trouble, taking drugs, drinking, vandalising, intimidating, etc.
Good lads/girls do not do this by definition. I think some parents must to start taking a good long look at themselves and their kids behaviour and start taking some responsibility and interest so we do have a lot more good lads/girls.

We learned in the end and graduated onto the race tracks which was where we really did find that there is a lot more to fast driving than meets the eye. It was good fun though, and we did have consideration for others on the public roads at least.
Sorry to see that they were killed, but not very sensible to be screaming around in a stolen car and very unfair to the car's owner too. That is something that I cannot support in any way.

Waste of a car was my first thought, reading the story, turns out it's a waste of two cars and a caravan.
Strange when if it had been a couple of lads in their own car, you put it down to lads being lads and driving the way lads do (which we've all done), when they're in a stolen car and wreck someone else's, the sympathy evaporates somewhat.

This is where scoobynet has changed with the infraction system.
People are holding back what they really think and feel .....
Im Glad... That they didnt take innocent member of the pubilc with them

Got to feel sorry for those who got their vehicles etc wrecked by the thieving scum, still it's two less thieving pieces of **** on the street I suppose.
If someone stole my car I'd be happy if they went the same way!

Would they still be 'GOOD LADS' if they had crashed into a crowd of people coming out of a pub killing and maiming them but otherwise being fine themselves. Would they still be good lads once those people realize the car they were driving was stolen and that they didn't have insurance, etc. Would they still be 'good lads' then.....

I've known loads of 'good lads' who've died young in cars. They were in the main w@nkers who loved to drink drive or take drugs and drive. Strangely enough the reports on the paper said they were lads who lived for their friends and never drank etc.
I'd call it justice.

Feel sorry for the emergency services involved. The firebrigade making the scene safe then the paramedic having to go into the car to PLE both bodies and then the cops telling the families that someones son is dead x 2. Thats a shame. It's not just the families that are involved.
Dead all for driving to fast. Makes you think when you drive like a dick to get to your destination 10 sec faster. We all drive like ***** at times. i know i have.

But the fact is, they stole a car to do it. You and I and hopefully most of us on this board have never stolen a car for this purpose. Because I bet the fact it was a stolen car meant nothing to them, and thus all they cared about was having fun and dumping the car at the end. So any small amounts of care you and I would have had being younger, but in our OWN car, would be very relevant since if you crashed it, it was your loss.
If they crashed it, they would not have cared at all.
It's bloody stupid and a waste of life, but they are selfish (or they were), and like others, I'm very glad it was 1am in the morning and they did not hurt anyone else.
Even so the house owner needs a new car, caravan, greenhouse, wall, garden etc. And who pays for that lot...?

Thank **** the thieving scumbags killed themselves before they killed anyone else .Thank god there were no kids playing in the garden they decided to kill themselves in .
I feel sorry for the emergency services and for the poor ****** who's got to spend the rest of summer putting his garden straight .
my opinion you don't have to agree

<checks his pockets>
<looks in the cupbaord>
nope sorry didnt manage to find any sympathy. perhaps some folks think its a bit harsh to say that but they took someones things without asking them. they risked other drivers and pedestrains so sorry for not being a little sympathetic, good ridance to bad rubbish
