Just been to Tesco to fill up, while standing in the queue i was asked is that a 5 speed or 6 speed ?
So i told the guy it's a 5 speed, then another guy the other side of me said that when he was at Prodrive they had Colin McRae's 20vt in for a little tuning to been done.
He said he couldn't remember what work had been done but it did go like sh!t off a stick & that Colin used it as his daily driver.
I thought as the rest of the queue was listening in.

cool.mccrae is a legend.

I wonder how that little factoid has evaded us for so long....

wonder what colour it was.
bet it was a sprinty.

Did you see the tribute filmed at the prodrive track ..

his name spelt out by over 1000 scoobies ..

legend

Yeah i saw that brilliant. You wouldn't have all the scoobys on the road if it wasn't for Colin and his balls out driving, he was a driving GOD.

If he'd have took his coupe, maybe he'd be here now (and he would have got there faster)

Funny really that Richard Burns doesn't get the same respect and he's English!

burns was a rally legend too, no doubt..a great driver...but mcrae had that 'villeneuve' streak...if in doubt, flat out.....you wouldnt see colin, or gilles, nursing a car home for points..it was shit or bust every time out...i think that attitude and otherworldy car control endeared tham to their fans...

I see why people love colin, don't get me wrong i think he was brill, but i have more respect for Burns, he had to try a lot harder than Colin, Burns was not a natrual driver and for that i think he deserves respect, i think there are to many sheep out thier, Colin was a scooby Burns a coupe, if you see what i mean.
May both rest in peace and i am thankful i got to see both of them drive.

Eddie Irvine had a Coop too, and a few other racing drivers that I forget.

Maybe Colin Mcrae got bored of driving all those Scoobs and fancied something a bit faster for the road?
