I remember all the print he got in the mid 90s when he seemed unbeatable. He made so many magazine covers, especially Autosport.

Holy crap! that sucks. I was always more of a Tommy Mak fan though... It always sucks when a very talented public figure dies though.

Man .. **** ... first Richard Burns and now Colin? Damnit ... those were two of my favorite WRC drivers ever! This blows. It's so ironic after watching those madmen doing 150mph on the side of cliffs .. on dirt ... weekend after weekend.. that they would die of a brain tumor and a helicopter crash. WTF

I felt sick to my stomach when I heard this. Not just him and his son but another adult and that person's child as well.

God I feel sorry for his wife.
