Travis Pastrana poem to a hero (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjelJeCjHKU)

that brings a tear to my eye... ok a couple

[Oz10]

Wow! That is a beautiful thing. Colin Mcrae was probably the best driver to ever compete in a subaru. He is a big hero of mine and his lose was crushing to the rally car world. But it is wonderful to see that he is so respected. I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted us to mourn his loss, but rather to celebrate his memory.


Reps to everyone who contributed to this post.

:no: terrible.

I'd much rather see a tribute to an amazing man and legend than read all the political BULLSH!T that is in 364879364987 threads on this board lately. I HATE IT....almost as much as Benefit. If I could ban him for being an idiot I would.

[JITB]

thats cool as hell..

[4DrTeg]

wow amazing sight man:goodjob:

[The Yousef]

that brings a tear to my eye....

he was truly a great driver... :(

[Doppelgänger]

But back to the original post.....



This thread just brings back how real it is that he is no longer entertaining us with his top notch driving :(
BTW... FLUCK "Speed" channel for ripping WRC off our television...just... **** Speed.

[Thighs]

lol you couldn't come up with anything better than "go drive off a cliff light it on fire"...thats the imagination of a 5 year old i believe....and i also believe thats what happened to mr.mcrae but instead with a helicopter

with the disrespect you have towards McRae, you obviously have the intelligence of a 5 year old. and the complete lack of reverence and respect for the memorial of McRae, or ANY person for that matter, shows your character (or lack thereof...) and really lets everybody know what a true piece of sh!t you are, and im 100% sure that any person in their right mind would agree. i dont care if its Colin McRae, George Bush, or some random person you dont know. i said what i said because i feel that you deserve it. not because i couldnt come up with better.

[Benefit]

you really hurt my feelings

[EG6]

I didn't know colin mcrae passed away...what happened and when did this happen? I swear i always miss rally season :(

[VooDooXII]

That is too cool.

[UpSideDownDesi]

R.I.P :( .......being missed

[Thighs]

I didn't know colin mcrae passed away...what happened and when did this happen? I swear i always miss rally season :(

helicopter crash.

[cwhiteboy]

I had completely forgotten about that. That is absolutely amazing. Got my eyes a little hazy. He will surely be missed.

[DUBSf22c]

Well he really deserved it., He is one of the greatest drivers ever IMO. I heard he was an awesome man. You cant ask for more

At least you knwo who he is. But since SPEED CHAN has pretty all but stopped talking aobut that sport you dont get a whole lot of updates

[Scotsman]

WOW. all cars are expendable but life isnt. You sir; seriously made a impression on who you are to this car community today. And a complete lasting impression on mei second that

[Elbow]

lol, is this equivalent to telling you that your cat/dog got ran over?...childish

You know on a serious not. Like others said, you really showed what kind of person you are. You are a disrespectful piece of ****. What are you all pissed? Mommy or daddy die and you don't like death? Maybe your whore ass girlfriend cheated on you? You poor thing.

[EJ25RUN]

c'mon guys, it really isnt making the situation better by trying to reply to him. Just leave him be and he will stop posting on his own.

Agreed, that is why i wrote what i did. This is like reading the incredible insults on youtube.

[Dwisforme05]

holy subaru lol thats sweet!

[r0bb86]

definitely the best thread i've seen in ages.
+1, great pix & compilation info.

[STI101]

That is incredible. It is always great to see people coming together like that. RIP.

[Andyturbo13]

That's truly amazing..

[EJ25RUN]

I added some things to my large post i felt were relevant.

Benefit: Please leave this thread.

[josh green]

maybe a mod can come in here and clean things up...

good idea.

[AnthonyF]

A very amazing thread. He will be missed and a VERY good driver. I love WRC and will miss watching him tear up the roads!

Benefit-most of your posts have been deleted. Post something like those last few and you will be temp banned. Your comments are uncalled for. Take that childish shiit to WL if you want to be such a prick about it.

-Ant.

[AnthonyF]

You were out of line. Simple as that. Grow up and be an adult.

-Ant.

[Oz10]

lol yea, might want to rethink who was out of line.

Please do us all a favor and just drop it. This thread is in the memory of a fallen hero. It is not a place for your mindless insults.

[DESTRO_91]

A true loss to the automotive world. Incredible tribute. That many Subi's in one place for one cause. Amazing!

[canadianrcis]

sick tribute.

[RandomGuy]
