Am I the only one who gets a shudder down the spine when he says "in convoy and in tribute"?

[colzo]

Only just turned on the laptop so just found out about the tribute today. Apologies for not attending. Well done to Grant for organising this and to everyone who represented the club.

Had i not been stuck on an oil rig 100miles offshore i can assure you all i would have been there.

Just like to say well done to Grant and everyone who attended for organising this and showing the rest of the world the following he had and what he meant to us all.

I truely am lost for words, the man was a complete legend and will never be forgotten

I cant get youtube out here but this should be a link to a short clip of him, car control is an understatment

RIP Colin

For those who might not have seen it yet this is the best press photo I can find so far.

Thanks to all who turned out. It shows just how great a club this truly is.

[neill54]

A truly outstanding talent ever to get behind the wheel of a car,you will be sadly missed, my thoughts go out to his family.

I felt nothing but pride when I ficked onto Sky News and watched a parade of Subaru driving up the hill near McRaes home. Well done guys, it brought more than a tear to my eye. Has ayone seen this freakishly chilling news...

Folks, thank you for appropriately representing the thoughts of Scooby owners. I think I heard the BBC reporting the event as an "emotional tribute". A sad time for all of the families concerned, our collective thoughts are with all of them.

Unfortunately, we couldn't make it to Lanark in time but it was a good sight to see you all arriving at sandyholm later on, we counted around 13 cars in the car park. Hope the fella in the black jacket found the M74 to Cumbernauld alright.

[teocalli]

A good turnout and a fitting tribute by all today. Grant (Squiggel), thanks for organising this, I feel immensely privilaged to have taken part. You done the club proud.

fab pic.

Pleased that the sun was shining when that was taken, not too pleased that we're all squinting in the photo LoL!

[kloon]

Excellent gesture folks, would have loved to have joined you but just a tad far away. Seen it on the news, very poignant. Was really looking forward to going to watch the great man in action at the McRae rally in a fortnight.

[st3ph3n]

I looke like I'm squeezing one out in that photo.

Today for me was what the club was all about. Comradery, friendship and driving damn good cars. I think we done the big man proud. Absolute pleasure to call each and everyone of you my friends.

[scuba dou]

Grant and co, well done for what you did today. Very touching and fitting indeed. Saw the club on the news today and I am in DK.

[teocalli]

That must be why I'm lookin' & laughin' at you St3ph3n!

And Squiggel, how are you still able to balance while doing the Plié?!?! I only know this term as my sisters do ballet, so save the jibes!

Well done guys. Just caught this thread as I've been working all weekend. Had I not, and had seen the thread, I would have been there 100%.
