I was informed last night of the very sad news that Rob, (aka Tweenierob), died in a car crash on Saturday afternoon. A number of Coupe owners will have met him over the last few years (via Perfect Touch), although his greatest talents and passion was for the Skyline scene where he achieved a tremendous following.

Very sadly another lady died in the crash, and the driver of the Skyline is in a critical condition. My condolences to all involved, especially family and friends.

leighton sent me a text with this news an hour or so ago - I'm just stunned.

Rob mapped my car on many occasions and was always full of praise for the way "the little Fiat" punched way above its weight

His enthusiasm for Skylines was legendary, with some of the fastest cars in the country bearing the "mapped by TweenieRob" logo.

Above all, despite his fairly hallowed status amongst the Skyline fraternity, I remember him as a truly down-to-earth ordinary bloke, with a passion for cars generally.

Will be sadly missed

This happened round the corner from me and I drove past the scene this morning. There was a couple with a young kid placing flowers on the railings.

Could've been me and my family they met quite easily, scary.

The local rumour is that they were doing silly speed whilst live mapping. I do hope that wasn't the case and I stress it is a rumour only.

If the rumours are true this story would just go to serve my views to the use of public roads. The sole reason I dont use the roads as a playground is the fact I could not live with myself knowing my actions had killed an innocent person. Sends shivers down my spine.

I hope the accident was something that was purely that, with all parties driving at sensible speeds.

Horrible.

unfortunatly I don't have much more detail than that and i'm not sure that this is even the correct section

rip rob and best wishe to your family

I have just heard about this from another forum member. I had my car mapped by rob several times and he did a great job every time. He was clearly very passionate about performance tuning and really knew what he was doing. A very professional guy.

A very sad loss to his family. My condolences to his family and that of the other woman involved.
