Have been running my own little tribute on fb all this week.
Only a few friends get it.

Quick 10years, hard to believe it

Without Colin we wouldn't have own/d a subaru of some sort

 

[toyscrota]

Probably wouldn't have a Subaru only for him, although Bertie Fisher for me was a lot of it too.

Colin was in discussion to return to Subaru in 2008, what a sight that would have been!

10 Years Today! ????

10 years, crazy
First Subaru for me was a 94 jap wrx straight from Japan back in 2004, after following him in wrc and the Impreza and the way in was being driven , I just always wanted one .

There is just something about a classic Impreza

Me too that was a savage event.
I'll never forget when he went out you could instantly see the difference in class compared to all the other competitors!
He was much faster and his car control was just unnatural compared to anything I'd ever seen.

I remember he wanted a go in the 306 but couldn't as he was a contracted ford driver.

95 rac

Went over to spectate the '95 RAC. We were sure McRae was about to write off the car right in front of us.....of course he didn't. And the rest is history.

We were so lucky to get the chance to watch him learn how to drive that fast on Irish tarmac.

So many memories - McHale there or thereabouts on the Circuit with the XTra Vision M3 versus the Prodrive Legacy.

Wasn't Fisher the only driver to score a fastest stage time over Colin in the '92 British Rally Championship?
