ace Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 make sure the sound is turned up ! awsome driver or what can,t belive he,s gone
PaulAshman Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Great car, great sound, great roads and most of all great driving by a legend who will always be missed. I had the pleasure of meeting Colin at the Goodwood festival of speed last year and what struck me most was how much time he had to talk to everyone, answer questions and generally be a nice chap. Colin R.I.P.
ace Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Posted April 10, 2008 Totally agree , i never met him but have been in the forests in wales, as he has powered through ! i think the most thing that would have upset colin if he was still here today is that his young son died also in the crash aswell r.i.p colin and his son
MexDan Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Colin was an amazing driver and an amazing guy... I doubt if we will see anyone as impressive from the UK in our lifetime... A true Legend!! Gone but never forgotten.. and as he said: "We are here for a good time, not a long time" One of the worlds greatest ever rally cars with one of the world's greatest ever rally driver... the result is obvious!!!
