When I saw the thread title I was dreading it may be news like this. Despite being Scottish he was one of my early sporting heroes back in the early 90's. Title: Colin McRae Post by: pumbaa on Sunday, September 16, 2007, 01:28:17 Its not looking good. Link to current report on BBC

Title: Colin McRae Post by: tans on Sunday, September 16, 2007, 15:00:59 Very sad news. 2 years ago was Richard Burns, yet another ace driver.
Title: Colin McRae Post by: reeves4england on Sunday, September 16, 2007, 15:42:26 RIP
Couldn't believe it when I saw it on Teletext. Thoughts go out to his family too Title: Colin McRae Post by: Leggett on Sunday, September 16, 2007, 17:32:31 i was absolutely gutted when i turned on the tv and heard this this morning, another proper tragedy, i feel so sorry for his missus and daughter. :(
Title: Colin McRae Post by: mattyswinboy on Sunday, September 16, 2007, 17:52:56 RIP
Colin was a great ambassador for british motorsport my thoughts are with his family Title: Colin McRae Post by: Ralphy on Sunday, September 16, 2007, 17:55:14 I give it 6 months before Subaru release a special edition 'Macrae Impreza' like they did for Richard Burns with the RB320.
Title: Colin McRae Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, September 16, 2007, 22:31:28 To be honest, I knew nothing about him apart from he had his name on some racing game or something.
Do you think it was the ghost of Pavarotti getting revenge for something? Title: Colin McRae Post by: Tails on Sunday, September 16, 2007, 23:31:01 He died along with his 5 year old son, a family friend and his 5 year old sons mate.
Awful. Title: Colin McRae Post by: Northern Red on Monday, September 17, 2007, 13:51:57 Burns and now McRae. :cry:
Did anyone see that their old boss Dave Richards tried to buy the farm in his helicopter too? Linky: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/6997784.stm That's a few gone in air crashes. Graham Hill comes to mind and David Coulthard nearly did it too. Motorsport and air travel don't mix... For god sake Lewis don't buy a plane/helicopter. Title: Colin McRae Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Monday, September 17, 2007, 14:17:16 Really sad news
Title: Colin McRae Post by: tans on Monday, September 17, 2007, 14:44:39 Apparently dave richards had a near miss yesterday :shock:
how spooky. Title: Colin McRae Post by: lebowski on Monday, September 17, 2007, 17:51:52 when the day's fixture list includes hartlepool v swindon, it is not a good day to be travelling in the air.
Title: Colin McRae Post by: janaage on Monday, September 17, 2007, 17:58:06 Good shout Lebowski! Didn't think of that.
RIP Colin McC and others, terrible news. |
