This man 'Natie Booysen' is the Pinnacle of what it means to be a Petrol Head. Afraid of scratching the paint on a car that's totaled, I know that feeling all to well. Glad that you survived Good Sir, we look forward to seeing you on track again. 🙏
I agree and can absolutely relate. I was concerned about the exhaust on my car scratching on the floor when the tow truck picked it up at William Nicole when I'd written it off... 😔
Glad you ok mate. Saw the accident in person that Sunday. The fact that you got out with such little injury is nothing short of good workmanship with a large dash of miracle.
So glad you NEVER took shortcuts on safety . Any crash you walk away from is a good one. The car will be replaced - so glad you are safe . Much respect to you and Herman - you guys got big brass knaters !!
Meneer, I salute you and glad that you are ok. I'm not a true drag fan but I love your passion and looking forward to seeing your new build. I have a feeling that old Toppie Cressida is going to be quick!
Grootman, sorry for what happened. You will rise again with something better. And don't forget the promise you made about something you are working on. Sending Love from Port Elizabeth/Gqeberha😎
Love this guys attitude. Glad he's ok. Good to see that he still has a sense of humor after what he went through. Here's hoping the wagon is faster & gives him just as much enjoyment.
My Late dad had a 2.0GS Exec..Me and him use to polish that car together on weekends untill no end and it still sticks to today..Somewhere I came across the dayBu of this car 1 or 2 years ago and it triggered so much nostalgia and I watched it a couple of times. All the best for the new build and Im so glad you OK..I am hunting for a chassis as we speak..My outcome would not be as wild as this one but it this car sure has been the motivation
I know the vehicle was of great sentimental value to you Natie, you took it like a champ. Strength to you and may you regain the ability to build yet another great vehicle. Shout out.
The fact that he managed to push this heavy car into the 9 second bracket say alot. Well done and glad you ohk. There's a saying that goes 'alles loop reg altyd reg Toyota' 😉 💪
Ay when we saw the first video circulating the media, it was heart breaking, glad you are well Natie and hopefully you keep the cres model going strong 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
It was a crazy, scary crush mate , I'm relieved 😌 you came out ok 👍 for the most part , it's a blessing 🙌. Soldier on can't wait to see the new built, you're owesome!
People who really love Cars with sentimental value truly feels like a loss😣 it could have been anyone in a accident but the most important part is that you have life and you can go back to your love
@Ciro DeSiena had the honour of meeting Natie and seeing this beast in Durban. Natie showed the boys what oldschool racing is all about. Glad his well Nathie come back stronger boet your fans are waiting❤
I've followed you and loved your build and passion for your car, i remember thinking that cage is a little extra when i saw it now i know why you the man and I'm the keyboard dude. Cant wait for you next project i know it will be epic.
I'm happy you're alive and you're actually giving us an insight as to what transpired. The Cressida will still be a Legend and you also are a living Legend. I personally feel bad that it came to this towards the Cressida...my father had a 2.8L 4 V6 I know how much power these machines pull and your build still remains iconic to the sport. Natie it is God's miracle that you're still alive and yes I'm glad the engine is still alive and intact too, much respect to you and your work and your whole team...looking forward to the next build. Bro keep up the passion and remember Put God 1st and everything will fall into place. He saved you actually his grace saved you it is a living miracle and your testimony to tell🙏
As long as your okay, that's all that matters. Legends will return. Come back stronger and faster. You have south africa backing you✊🏼 I'll even come help rebuild. That's my word.
I was there when it happened. Thankful that you are alright. Was a nasty one but that’s our sport. It comes with good times and bad. Let’s get behind that 2jz once more. Keen to see your race again
I feel you Man, Better ur Better. I Rolled My Car Last Year 31st Dec 2022. I thank God Am Ok as ur Ok Here Now Typing and am Building My Other Car and Thank God am Comming Back Even More Stonger and Better then Before
- It is R800 to fill up - You have an overdrive button on auto gear for overtaking, so no need to get a manual if you were concerned by this and prefer auto - 170mm ground clearance - city and highway driving I am sitting at 6.6l/100
ADVICE: if anyone ever gets into an accident and the car starts spinning or rolling over, take your hands off the steering wheeling and put them on your chest “🙅🏼♂️” like that but on your chest glad you’re okay brother👊🏼 minor setback for a major comeback❤️
Om Booysen, why dont you consider selling some pieces from the cressida to your fans as memento? It will help cherish the memory of your parents and we can remember this lovely car.

Natie, even though I don't know you, but WOW, glad you're still with us. Can't wait to see what you're next project is going to be and look like.
So glad you NEVER took shortcuts on safety . Any crash you walk away from is a good one. The car will be replaced - so glad you are safe . Much respect to you and Herman - you guys got big brass knaters !!

This is so heartbreaking!
The joy is knowing he did it all on his own terms until the very end. This car can be rebuilt, watch this space! He has the blueprints
- It is R800 to fill up
- You have an overdrive button on auto gear for overtaking, so no need to get a manual if you were concerned by this and prefer auto
- 170mm ground clearance
- city and highway driving I am sitting at 6.6l/100
I'm glad you are okay bro.
so happy that you are building nother one🙃😊
Jammer Natie wens jou spoedige herstel toe, sterkte vir jou om nog een te bou
am glad his still alive bro... Things happen quick
ADVICE: if anyone ever gets into an accident and the car starts spinning or rolling over, take your hands off the steering wheeling and put them on your chest “🙅🏼♂️” like that but on your chest
glad you’re okay brother👊🏼
minor setback for a major comeback❤️
Om Booysen, why dont you consider selling some pieces from the cressida to your fans as memento? It will help cherish the memory of your parents and we can remember this lovely car.
Bruh i just watched u building this awsome car and RUclips was like watch this one too and i was a bit disappointed but cars are cars and no matter what they are just cars. keep safe
