Just watching the news now. There was a fire after the crash and the damage was so bad that they haven't been able to identify anyone. They don't even know how many people were on board??

The chopper came down in the grounds of his home at 4:10pm this afternoon.

He was an inspiration to many, me included, very sad news :cry:

JohnnyN

I just don't understand why Sky News still won't confirm the identities?

It must be Colin McRae or else he would alert someone that he's okay by now?

Very sad though.

Colin McRae was the Schumacher of Rally driving. One of the reasons why i like Scooby imprezas so much. Very sad news.

Oh no. What a tragic accident.

Drakey

Words fail me....... a true loss to both the Motorsport industry & all his family & friends................... No. 1 rallygif

I remember my brother having this on his wall, not quite the same as his Vaux` VIVA... took me years to persuade him to let me have it. A real family of achievers.
