Jimbo:
Really sad news - one report I just read claims that there were 4 people on board, two of whom were children.

Colin Macraes dead and that's news because??? So are half a million other people and we don't get a thread devoted to them do we. Ok so he drove fast cars for a living big deal it didn't make him better or worse as a person then a road sweeper or a shopkeeper. But the next time one of them dies, I'll bet we don't have people queing up to offer their condolences. Crass hypocrisy is what it is.

For the millions of people in this and other countries that enjoy competing in, or spectating at stage rallies or just enjoy motor sport in general, the McRae family have brought a lot of pleasure
Colin was a genuinely nice person, as is his father and brother Alistair (the only members of his family I have met and can therefore comment on)
If people who knew of him feel they have some affinity with, or just some sympathy for him and his surviving family, why do you think anyone would be interested in what you have to say ???
