Sad news indeed.

Still some speculation on some of the forums and no 'official' news as yet.

[zeolite]

That is devastating news. Cut down in his prime. One minute you are on top of the world and the next...

That has upset me.

[ed-209]

So so sad if the info coming in is correct.

Thoughts with his family.

Check the bbc and sky channels and web no reports as yet.

Can only hope its just a mistake.

[NightOwl]

Bloody Hell. I can't believe that. Not a huge rally follower and only knew that his problem stopped him racing, but I thought he was getting better. Shocking news.

[oobster]

Sorry to hear that, if the news is indeed accurate.

Seen a post on http://www.britishrally.com/forum2/forum_p...N=1&FID=31&PR=3 but that was nearly 2 hours ago - and still there is nothing on sky or bbc news sites.

So fingers crossed it's some terrible mistake

[ScoobyAndy]

Thoughts go out to all his family, friends and the rallying comunity

You can leave a message here memorial

I noticed on the news that the family have asked for privacy and for donations to cancer research. Wouldn't that make a good and relevant cause for scottishscooby charity events?

Yes i agree, a worthy and very relevant cause for us.

Cancer is awful - i lost my Mum to it when i was 9.
