A truly shocking event. My condolences go to all who lost loved ones in the accident while we, as fans, mourn the passing of a motorsport icon. Colin McRae, you won't be forgotten.

Convoy brought tears to my eyes, well done folks.

We've lost an icon, a true legend. One thing's for sure, Colin McRae will never be forgotten. My condolences to all those who died and their families and friends.

Like may others I'm sure, Colin McRae was a main factor in my getting interested in scoobies. This is such a sad day, I can't believe it.

Great piece on Germany, Steve, fantastic read []

Another point to lob in is what would have happened if he had seriously injured or killed someone? Would the same argument about 'testing' the car been used then as well? It's not just the fact he was driving at such speeds, it's the related issues and the 'what ifs' that make whole case a bit suspect - 'X or Y is dead but at least they died in the safe knowledge that PC Bloggs was making the roads and our lives a whole lot safer for us all!'

It's more a case of will you get a response?! Get so many blank looks these days from other scoob owners when I wave/flash the lights (usually new age owners, don't ask me why) that I'm beginning to feel like some mad nutter....

But he's caning it on public roads (OK, granted it was 3am in the morning). Haven't the police got the facilities to trian their drivers in controlled environments? I tested my scoob's abilities once on a pretty empty M1 and ended up with six points and a hefty fine - and still the force won't let me join! []

A police officer was convicted today of dangerous driving for reaching speeds of up to 159mph in an unmarked police car. Pc Mark Milton, of Telford, Shropshire, was given an absolute discharge after he was told by District Judge Peter Wallis that he had suffered enough with two-and-a-half years of court proceedings. Milton was convicted at Ludlow Magistrates' Court following a second trial after he was acquitted of the same offence last year. Poor lamb, suffered too much? My heart bleeds. And at the same time more speed cameras are put up around the country! These sort of stories really p me off. [:@]

Cool photos guys, brought back good memories and looks like it was another great trip. Fantastic to see SIDC making its presence felt again in Trier! Good work, Pete!

Stormy, Have a great trip. Hope to see you on track again some time soon.....

Steveee, That's out of order. I asked for photos for that article from you on at least two occasions (or to see if you could source some photos) before it was published. More than one thousand words with no photos looks pretty rubbish in a full colour magazine. If the magazine was full content-wise I chose articles on their merit, generally ones that made the issue as attractive and readable as possible. If you'd still like it published, perhaps you should approach Bob and Steve directly. Cheers David

Pete, I've promised myself never to miss it again! Got to meet and chat with Stephane Sarrazin as well, he was cool.

Well, if Le Mans 2007 is anything like this year's, it will be fantastic. Just got back from a superb trip. The greatest race in the world? You bet! [] JohnB, count me in for next year........ Cheers

Does that mean if you've changed the downpipe and backbox you should pass ok?

Steve, It got put back until some photos can go with it as we previously discussed. 1,500 words without images is not so good on the eyes. So, if anyone has any photos, send them to Bob and Steve, please. Cheers

Thanks for that Boss, but you know I won't be too far away for a while! Louise, material can be sent to Bob, who did give me his email address but I've lost in the filing 'system'. I'm sure he'll put me right soon, but if not send the stuff to me and I'll pass it on. Hope you enjoy the issue. I can relaaaaax now...[H] Cheers

Not a wasted vote, Phil, you're standing up to be counted! Mind you , coming from Essex aren't you meant to be a Reds fan anyway

Yep, it makes a nice burble, you can still talk without shouting and you wont p*ss your neighbours off.....too much Can thoroughly recommend it. Has Santa delivered the goods then, Harry?

Forgot to mention this before but Paul is an Impreza fan! The othe night he and Charlie were talking about potential work after the programme, endorsing products etc and he said he'd keep mentioning Tilers (Tileys??) in Bristol if they gave him an Impreza. See, he's one of us

I'm working on this and we're pretty amazed that no one has really twigged yet. A few have had their suspicions but they only talk to one or two others and not to the whole group about their suspicions. They just want to believe it's all true!

Badboy, I'm in Teddington, hence the wholly unoriginal name of Tedd - I was in a hurry when registering

Nice one, Scoobytoo

Scoobytoo, you write it, we print it Seriously, I can't make this, so will be pleased to receive contributions! Cheers, David
