I heard about this, such a shame. I shook his hand once at a local rally, he seemed so friendly and nice!

Yes I met him too at the Autosport show one year, quite a friendly bloke.

It is a very sad news to rally world.
I will always remember him runing around with extinguisher on Rally Finland trying to put out the fire about 200 meters from end of SS.
I think Colin was the one in last 10 yrs who made so much to promote WRC by nothing more than driving.

Well that and the series of award winning computer games that bear his name... but I get what you mean!

very sad news! I can't imagine what it must be like to loose a husband and a son, or brother and dad at the same time!

Agreed, very sad news. such a massive waste of talent, but also must be equally distressing for his wife & daughter/family.
