Everythingape Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Yeah.. it was sad news indeed.. Rumours say his 5 year old son was with him.. Let's hope it's not so. He was the one that got me interested in the WRC, great driver and a good man too from what I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 The man made his name and fortune in the dangerous sport of rally driving only to be killed by a helicopter, there's shades of Steve Irwin in that. R.I.P. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azerbyjam Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I was out with friends and only breifly caught 'McRae.. something, something' on a Sky News bulletin and was so sad when I caught the full story. What a terrible end and some reports are saying his son was onboard I was lucky enough to see him driving at this years Goodwood Festival of Speed. Awesome video Pug and a great way to remember a driving legend! I found this tribute vid on youtube, which shows most of the cars Colin drove in his career... remember him like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA5-yUx9wfM edit - I couldn't add the video like Pug?
