Default Simon Norris crash all over the bloody media!

GGGRRR...

so far its been in my local paper, now its on the bloody news, why....the bloody crash happened saturday just gone, its pee'ing me off now as its everywhere. the point is why is the media making such a big deal out of him. Crashes like that in motorsport happen all the time but you dont see the media making such a big deal out of them....

the goverment might be on an anti speed campaign again... trying to show the dangers! thats the only reason i can think of... had a similar crash recently around here on a rally where they had to be airlifted to hospital, but you dont hear about it because it wasnt someone in the public eye... god knows...

Media is a strange thing. You can hear about two people dying in the far east and im pretty shure two other people died in Europe at the same time that you never get told about.

Perhaps Simons publicity machine notified the media, all publicity is good & his company is being talked about even on a Ford site.
