Aw hell.

I started the wikipedia entry for this guy years ago, and I never wanted to see it have an event like a death added.

Tragic, but we won't forget him.

McRae death

Post by Aerotech »

This truly sucks... I would not have been into Subaru at all without the exploits of this man.
This reminds me of the day Stevie Ray Vaughn went in.... shock and sadness. I weep for his family.

All Subaru owners should put a black stripe on the driver's rear side window, (electrical tape?) where his name was on the rally cars.... Subaru owes a lot of their success to Colin.

.... damn.

What do you say?

He was a true legend who defined a sport and his legacy will live on forever.

May God be with those close to him.
