Unbelievably it was ten years on the 15th of Sept that Colin died in the helicopter crash.
My all time favourite rally driver, he had the ability to get in or on anything mechanical and get the maximum mph out of it.
Although he had been out of the Wrc scene for some time, I always associated it with him (and Richard Burns) and it's never been as thrilling since he (they) left it.
My favourite clip of Colin involves my favourite rally car.
Watch the youtube clip
here There's a big moment at 1.30, and after they finish the stage Nicky Grist replays the moment.
I love seeing Colin at work behind the wheel.
A master of his sport.
