Simply Tragic.

im totally lost for words,after reading many of the tributes that have been left by you guys of this community there is nothing more i can possibly say,a very great and unique man from a great motoring family he will be missed by all.

 

Very sad day.
RIP all of them.
The whole reason I bought an impreza.

 

RIP

Colin, Johnny and all.

Sad lose to one and all on here and Rallying world

 

R.I.P Colin


A sad sad loss our thoughts to family and freinds

 

Ditto. Shocking news to wake up to this morning R.I.P. big guy and the same for the rest of those tragically involved.

 

Our thoughts with the family and friends of Mr McRae

Such a tragic loss and as said many times before on here - He is the reason I have one on my drive too!

Dave and family

 

RIP Colin and Johnny. You will be missed by all.

 

Very well worded tribute, Simon. Very sad news.
RIP Colin and the little Mcrae, plus others who passed away in such tragic circumstance. May their families gain strength to bear the losses with our prayers and sympathy for them.

 

Considering I have never met him I feel genuinely very sad for all involved.
My deepest thoughts and sympathy to Colin and his family.

 

The many words already posted echo my thoughts.

A very sad loss for his wife, daughter and all the McRae family.

The memories I have of seeing Colin masterfully drive a rally stage will live with me forever. God rest his soul.

RIP Colin and Johnny..............


some great comments coming out today on this post..
proud of the site!!!!!!

ads and family

 

What very very sad news. A true hero.

Condolences to his and his passengers families.

Brings a lump to my throat.

RIP.

I would definetly be up for doing something to mark a great mans life.

 

Another one stolen stolen from our hearts. One of the worst losses. His wife and daughter must be going through hell, to loose your husband in this way and your son. Tragic. Words cannot express my feelings. I was there in 1995 at Chester when Colin won WRC championship, a very proud moment for me and the gang. You WILL be missed. RIP Colin, Johnny and friends.
I would like to do something towards his life in the sport even if it's just to go to the Snowman Rally. Something should be done !!!

 

Didn't hear about this till it was mentioned during the Grand prix today.

I'm finding it quite surreal to think of one the rally greats meeting his end in this manner only 45 minutes from where I live. Even though iIdidn't own a Subuaru at the time, his driving certainly brought the marque to mind ! I can remember the joy, not only of a British driver winning the WRC, but of the intense way Colin drove - never ease off, always 100% !

Glad to see Gus the Bus and the lads paid an impromptu tribute.

Suggest an organised Subaru drive by/meet with a us contributing to one specific charity, in his memory.

RIP all involved...

 

My best wishes to the Familey....MrE007 has a good suggestion..lining up scoobys to his funeral

 

Simply Stunned and in shock by the tragic news, my deepest sympathies to the McRae family and the relatives of the passengers, RIP

 

A sad day indeed.

RIP

 

I first saw Colin in '95 when he won his first WRC rally, I was taking pix for the local car magazine.
At the end of event dinner he signed my 555 team shirt which I still have safely tucked away...
There is a WRC drivers photo from around this time with the three Subaru drivers, Possum Bourne, Richard Burns and of course Colin McRae... all three great men taken well before their time.

Thanks to the guys who paid respects in Scotland you are in our news here in New Zealand ! NZ Herald: Accidents News from New Zealand and around the World

 

Colin McRae = Subaru
80% of us bought our subaru's because of Colin
i did for the reason he was my Hero
And if he cant blow a subaru up who can(me twice)

Colin from day one in the legacy was a shining star for Subaru
And thats where we got are beloved impreza from

A big thank you to Colin for making Subaru a name worth saying
a name worth remembering and a car worth driving

Colin McRae you gave normal people inspiration

God rest to you and your young son

 

RIP Colin, so sad, a true legend, and of course to everyone in the helicopter and their friends and families.

 

You could always count on Colin, he would be so 100%, always a spectacle. The way he drove was supernatural, he will be missed so much.
Thanks Colin, you brightened our lives.
