  this is sad....colin died in a helicopter crash he's piloting
  
  i used to enjoy watching his exploits in WRC when he was terrorizing fellow drivers while he was with Subaru.
  
  Playing him on PS2 now takes different meaning now....

  no one wants to see or even hear a "next"
  
  Anyway, Colin McRae has always been regarded as one of the top rally drivers of all times. And he's the one who brought Subaru's name up in the rallying scene and subsequently to the world.
  
  He will always be remembered.

  Quote from Times Online:

  Jean-Eric Freudiger, McRae's agent, said the 39-year-old driver had been piloting the helicopter himself. Also on board were believed to be his son Johnny, another adult - said by locals to be a school friend of McRae - and another child. McRae's wife Alison and their daughter Hollie, 9, were not on board, friends said.
