Emailed Steve yesterday. He said he is bruised, but fine. That is the important thing!

Update ... I understand everybody involved in the accident is ok. I'm not on facebook but there's discussion on the Rennlist page evidently ...

Let's all he careful with this one. I'm sure he knows that we're all curious but let's not become gawkers. Respect his time and feelings like you would if someone lost a relative. I'm also sure the powers that be will be researching the web as much as possible so we should be cautious on what is said, on many levels. Rufus is sick, I am sad.

OMG that's terrible!!! Good that he's just bruised up and nothing more serious. How many of us would "lose it" if this happened? And Steve's was at the pinnacle of specimens; he just had it painted too!!! Awful Awful. Hearts and minds with you Steve.

RUFUS was the car that got me down the slipperly slope of Ruf ownership. Steve is a great friend and it's just heartbreaking. He is fine, but I'm sure not easy to deal with this blow.

Steve is OK that is all that matters here. From the pics the 993 did a good job and crumpling well, taking the energy away from the occupant/s - this is what is important, so glad he is OK

WOW.....I saw the video on another section of the board and I thought immediately "I hope that is not Steve". Came here to check

Glad you are OK Steve. Get better soon!
