Been away at the weekend so no PC handy. Still in a state of shock really 
I was into rallying before Colin was on the scene but like many others it was Colin and his antics in the scooby which led me to what i drive today so for that thanks Colin.
Colin is a legend !
My thoughts are for all the families affected by this terrible tragedy.
RIP Colin

Absolutely gutted to hear this sad sad news, there are no words of description that could be passed and do justice for Colin and his achievments, the incredible loss that his wife must now be feeling must be immeasurable, my heart felt thoughs are with his family now
RIP Colin, you will be sorely missed by all

A truly sad day for motorsport as a whole. As many of you on here i bought a scooby because of Colin McRae and Richard Burns rallying them to championships.
Met Colin at Rallyday last year and the year before and he has time for everyone interested in the sport and plenty of time for his fans.
Even though i dont have a scooby anymore i would glady turn up for a meet so show my respect.
Cant say much more other than i hope him and burnsie are rallying in place.

He'll forever live on as the legend he always was.
I suggest a grand gathering somewhere central to everyone and include Subaru, Prodrive and all other rally teams. A complete show that is based fully around Colin and the rallying world. He made it what it is and this should be on show to Subaru drivers, rally spectators(from not JUST Subaru) and ANYONE who wishes to go. A show that should be advertised not just on these forums but anywhere....Top Gear, Evo magazine, adverts on TV??
It may be a bit hard to get everyone needed involved, but i feel he's worth it.
Long live the legend.

Shocked when heard this, was watching some news footage yesterday, still couldn't believe it.
He was the reason I ever found out about Subaru Impreza's and rallying - damn shame and a loss but we all have to go some time, some of us leave a big dent in the world when we do.
The loss of 3 other lives, including his son really makes it a tragedy, I have a four year old son myself and I can only imagine the loss the mother must be going through, tragic.
The best thing we can do is remember him as he was, one of a kind and a complete natural at what he did.

TRUER WORDS HAVE NOT BEEN SAID I've no car at the moment after it was nicked, so wherever the meeting is..... I'll walk if I have too.
R.I.P. Colin, and all that were with him. Thoughts are with his family and friends.

I just cant believe what's happened. Ive followed rallying for over 30 years and im the same age as Colin. The first Scoob I bought was a Series McRae and I have a hand painted picture of Colin, Dereck and L555 BAT on my lounge wall. What a massive loss and to loose his son and friends. R I P Colin, Johnny and friends.

Will now forever regret not heading up to the rally track in the woods on Sunday at Goodwood this year, "we'll see him in the dry next year". He's also the reason I own my classic scoob.
Thanks for all the thrills and the spills, will never be forgotten.
