Quote From Travis Pestrana About Colin Mcrae

[kloon]

Found this on an American Subaru site:

“We were go-karting the night before X Games, and Colin kept getting the short end of the stick with his kart selection. It was awesome for me to witness two things that happened that night: the first being that even heroes can be human and everyone is beatable ... second was that he was taking every loss in this small indoor kart track as though it were a critical situation.

“Colin tried everything. Even resorted to giving the kid running the start a bribe to tell him which kart was the best. (Luckily, I had already paid that kid off to ensure that I got the fastest.)

“But no matter what happened on the race track (kart track or championship rally), Colin always had the ability to separate what happened on the track and laugh about it later with his friends/rivals.

“Even though that moment seems somewhat insignificant, I think it represented his personality better than any other instance I spent with him.”

– Travis Pastrana

Sums up Colin perfectly I think.
