[phil]

Out of respect for Colins heritage I have placed this thread in the Scottish Forums

[dougster]

I have no words to describe how shocked and saddened I am to hear of the loss of life and our true legend.

Condolences to all families involved in this tragic incident.

He was an icon, an inspiration to us all and long may the legend continue bringing a smile to all Rally fans world wide.

Thoughts are with all family and friends.

From all at GMC-MOTORSPORT.

[blue boy]

Lost for words.

Such a tragedy.

[jamie_wood]

We will never ever see another like him.

A "friend" for over twenty years and an inspiration in many ways.

In his words, "we are here for a good time, not a long time"

I just wish he had been here for a good while longer.

Lets never forget him or his son Johnny and the other two friends that have been lost in this tragedy.

As I have said already, thanks for the memories Colin.

Cruelly taken from us in such a heartbreaking way.

May you enjoy going "flat out" in God's Special Stage.

You will always in be in our hearts.

Rest In Peace Colin

Not sure what to say:

A true legend amongst men, and a hero to many.

You will be missed.

[gus the bus]

A huge loss for the McRae Family, Scotland and the world of Motorsport.

Without you we wouldnt have the Subaru Community we have today.

My thoughts are with the family and friends during this very difficult time.

R.I.P Colin, young Johnny, Graeme and young Ben.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends....

I met Colin several times in the early years during his campaign with the Legacy...and his many visits to Ireland....and like so many others it was him who kindled my passion for the Subaru brand.....

A great loss to the world of rallying, not many had the skill, guts and determination to drive the pants of anything that was put in front of them...

Its been a sad few years for British/Irish rallying as a whole with the loss of Richard Burns, the great Bertie Fisher and now our hero Colin...

Rest in Peace Colin.....

Paul, Joneen & Erin....

My heart goes out to all his family and friends for the loss of this great father, this great guy, this great sportsman. A TRUE RALLY GOD.

RIP Colin McRae - always the best, always my hero

Miss you always.

such a sad loss of talent and a true sportsman, he`s probably the biggest reason we are all sharing this forum now, with out him the Impreza might never have become what it is today and clubs like this might never have formed

for some of us he was a hero, for other`s an icon, either way he will be missed by all

it`s such a sad sad waste of life and talent

[drb5]

Absolute God and his legend will live on forever.

Condolences to the whole McRae family and their friends.

[iain01]

A legend in the world of motorsport.

My thoughts are with all family and friends.

[teocalli]

Always remembered, never forgotten.

A true legend,

R.I.P. Colin.

[ur.a.bus]

following Colins career has been a joy for many years,

Colin McRae rally games got me hooked on rallying from when i was at school,

watching the WRC became a must due to the scottish legend.

i loved his driving but after reading his books and seeing his after rally interviews on tv is when i realised what a nice down to earth guy he trully was.

my heart goes to the mcrae familly and the other famillys involved in this terrible accident

[butler]

He is the main reason i got into watching rallying and the proud ownership of my subaru's.

R.I.P Colin and son.

[kip]

A very sad lost to the world of motorsport and an even greater loss to his family.

Colin will always be one of the greatest rally drivers ever

R.I.P Mr McRea

My condolences to the family's of those all involved

[frank c]

I'm honestly lost for words. ...

It was Colin who got me interested in the Impreza brand and the world of rallying, his desire to win and car control will live with me forever.

My thoughts are with his family and close friends.

RIP Colin and wee Johnny... Sadly missed but never forgotten.

Scottish Scoobies.

R.I.P Colin McRae

You were the one that got me interested in this great Subaru Community that we have today.

Always played PS2 games and Xbox 360 game that you helped developed my friend.

Condolences to friends and family

Very sadly will be missed.

My first memory of Colin McRae goes back to the 1994 Rally GB - The first appearance of the Subaru Impreza on a UK rally and the first time I had attended a WRC event.

The Impreza was a very ordinary looking car compared to the Toyota Celica's and Escort Cosworths that it was competing against, but the way it was being driven through the forrest stages was far from ordinary! I was left in awe every time the blue and yellow wonder flew past me faster and more sideways than anything else and was overjoyed at the end of the rally that it was McRae standing on the top of the podium! I left that rally, a fully converted McRae fan, promising myself one day I would own a Subaru Impreza!

No other driver has ever been so inspiring to watch. A thrill on every appearance!

I am so greatfull to Colin McRae for all the entertainment he has given me over the years and the inspiration in my life to become both a rally fan and Subaru fan!

THANK YOU COLIN McRAE!

My thoughts are now with his family and friends at this extremely sad time! Rest in Peace!
