    Natie, you are an absolute legend. I had tears in my eyes! So glad you're okay.

    My heart broke when I watched the videos of the crash, what a beast of a car. As long as Mr Booysen is okay, that is all that matters.

    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. 🙏

      @YusufGinnah Год назад +2

      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.

    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🙏
