RIP Colin McRae: 1968 - 2007

[WerBackIII]

First, before everything else, I want to post this link, to show how much people DO respect him in any way: http://www.colinmcrae.com/condolences.asp

I won't take any quotes from news sites, I'll just say it.

On the 15 September, ColinMcRae, among with 3 other people, crashed with his helicopter in Jervishwood, near Lanark. There were no survivors.

The former world champion was piloting the helicopter. On Board there were also McRae's son- the 5-year old son, a friend of McRae and his son. The reasons for te accident are still unknown.

You see, Colin was more than a world champion. He was more than a racing legend. I've always liked him. No, he's not my hero, I just don't like to call somebody a hero. He was a fearless driver who won because of the Streght he had.

Sadly, Most people will never remember him as a sport legend. They'll remember him as the dude behind the computer games. However, (as I said in the site above0 many people DO remember him as a sport legend and a great person.

Respect, Dude!


And please, don't troll here, and don't spam!

Nahh, I don't like any of those driving sports, Formula1 or whatever they are called, so I wouldn't know any names besides from some Dane that wins LeMans all the time.

I too, have never heard a word of him. But then again, I despise car related sports, and watching sports in general, with a vengeance, so that's not surprising. Anyhow, RIP, whoever you are. I extend to you my modest empathy.
