Andy Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 He was Scottish Junior Champion. This is a very hot topic on the Subaru websites at the moment. I pray it's not him, but being realistic would have to assume the worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I tried phoning a couple of my contacts who are close to the family, but no answer, one of them lives close by. Personally I know Jim his father, I had little contact with Colin other than when he rode Lanarkshire trials as a schoolboy. I fear for the worst. Colin was 1981 Scottish Intermediate Youth Champion (now Youth B class) winner of the Jack Gow Trophy. Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toofasttim Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Very sad news. A great blow for Scottish motorsport in particular and motorsport in general. All the worst having lost Steve Hislop in the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinell Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Very sad news, even worse if there were two children on board. RIP all and condolences to the familys and friends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesy Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Very, very sad news. Not just for fans of motorsport, he managed to become an ambassador for the sport and brought rallying and Subaru into the Public's eye. I will always remember following him round the '95 Network Q in awe at his total commitment and flamboyant driving! I managed to get to the finish of the last stage in Clocaenog where he captured the world crown. David Richards flew into the middle of the forest to congratulate him, a special moment. Condolences to the Mcrae family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dab-man Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hard to believe the guy risked his life every time he got in his rally car driving at crazy speeds through woods on slippery roads and tracks, yet he finally meets his maker doing something hundreds of people do a day. A very sad loss of a man fully committed to everything he done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
