Sad news
He had an awesome talent. They just confirmed on the news that it was him, his 5yo son, his son's 6yo friend and an adult friend of Colin's. Terrible.
The news today is so depressing
my mind not only wanders ... sometimes it leaves completely

A minutes silence at the Rally Day at Castle Coombe. Nice to see his WRC cars there too.
He had an awesome talent. They just confirmed on the news that it was him, his 5yo son, his son's 6yo friend and an adult friend of Colin's. Terrible.
