I miss Colin Mcrae.

His agressive style is out of this world. Just watch this from rally GB of 2001. May he rest in peace

Fav driver growing up. Stoaked I got to see him so many times at Rally NZ.

Nicky Grist must have the biggest balls this side of well, damn anyone.

It's a shame the fastest way isn't sideways anymore.

My thoughts exactly. To sit there and calmly read pace notes while Colin executes his madness = nutz!

You're right. True dedication to continue after countless near death moments, most of which could be attributed to over driving.

I happened to big digging through some of my old youtube favorites and this was in there. It's an old tribute video that someone made before his death. It's packed with Legacy SS footage from his early days with subaru.

After seeing this thread I will probably wear my "if in doubt, flat out" shirt tomorrow.
