TJ101 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Tragic news I am totally shocked !! Just read the reports, Another rally hero along with his son & two friends go down in a helicopter crash, same way as the late Bertie Fisher a few years ago, Had the pressure and privilege of meeting Colin for the first time, must be 20 odd years ago on the Manx Rally, with the Nova, even then, he had one aim, to be world champion !! now we have lost both our only British world rally champions Was gutted when Richard when, as had fond memories of him, His first rally was as our service crew in Cornwall, must be 1987 ish, still have a tape of him "playing" rally drivers in the cosworth !! R.I.P Colin McCrae Conformation Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
