[the blue dragon]

Cant beleive the news.Colin will be sadly missed throughout the motorsport world.

Unfortunately, i have to take my other half in to work in Edinburgh this afternoon, otherwise i would definitely have come through.

R.I.P Colin.

Grant, what you are doing is a fantastic gesture and one which the great man would have appreciated. Nice One.

I was planning a drive today anyway, so I'll come down and join you. IMHO Mr McRae put Subaru on the map. I'm glad you guys are doing this, although I would have liked to meet you all under better circumstances.

I'm about to leave Dundee and will be taking it easy, so if anyone is coming from further North watch out for me (Blue '06 wagon).

I'll see you there.

Steve.

I had intended to go to Doune but feel it would be more fitting to join you all in Lanark.

[alank]

Wish I could come but its not the type of car stopping me - its no car.

Unless anyone is heading from East Edinburgh but think its a bit late now to make it for 2

[gus the bus]

Just back from Lanark!

25 people there from SIDC and approx 20 cars.

A fitting tribute was left from us withs pics flowers and a special message for a very very special guy.

Well done folks!

Gus

FYI Grant (previously known as Squirrel) was interviewed by BBC News 24 and Sky News and there was a lot of Media attention in and around the area.

[dipsy]

That was a nice thing you lot did for Mr McRae.Saw you's on BBC news 24 saw Grants car first he was speaking to the police .Then the camera changed angle and there were all the subarus parked up and yous started to walk round the corner Grant was first he had a big picture in his hand and the rest of scottish scoobies with flowers

Good to hear it was a good turnout. Would have popped along, but I have been working from home today.

My thoughts are with his family.

Dave

[wrx-ian]

just seen the report on sky news about his death. A very fitting tribute from you guys.

Well done for showing the club in a good light in this time of sadness.

RIP colin

[micra_wrc]

it was great to see how many of us braved the yucky rain and made the trip to Lanark.

We didnt need to explain or talk about why we were all there, we were just there, together, grieving.

It was surreal the way the press reacted when we gathered at the bottom of the lane, i guess we forget that not everyone uses these forums and that not everyone knows about the Subaru community.

They took lots of pictures of our convoy arriving and departing, footage of us is already being shown in Sky News and BBC 24.

Thanks to those that managed to make it today, it really demonstrated the strength that we have in pulling together and meeting up last minute.

[Dougie C]

Saw Grant on BBC News 24 and sorry couldnt make it with the weather plus was upset with the news.

Dougie C

[nippysweeties]

Some footage. Quite poignant I felt.

[col666]

[andy]

[dougster]

Good link, had News 24 on all day but missed the SIDC footage.

Well done.

[micra_wrc]

Well done to Grant for speaking to the media on behalf of us all.

Its not easy responding to a question like "and what did Colin mean to you" with a furry microphone and camera pointing at you and being forced to think on the spot.

I had to stiffle a giggle, as asking you especially what Colin means is like... hello... being asked why we breathe!

well done.

[seafar99]

Everybody's driving today was extremely well behaved and quite rightly so,

to then be suspiciously followed within our convoy by unmarked police vehicles showed

a lack of understanding by the local police.

craig.

[WUZ]

Sorry I couldn't be there as I am stuck out in the US right now but we went to a local meet last night and these guys were gutted to say the least.

Fantastic support from across here for a man that they all admired and aspired to be like.

Colin - you'll be sorely missed

Russell
