    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.


    PS- Subaru FTMFW!

    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.

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