There is no doubting that Colin was a very talented driver and a bit of a personality but come on how many convoys / meets / stickers etc Anyone would think you were all personal friends

 

Uncalled for comment i think, Colin was a hero to many of us and if we wish to arrange something in his memory then what's the problem

 

Just an observation

 

Terribly rude observation and comments at this time.

 

Inclined to agree with GP.Astonished to read on here that some members had tried to visit the crash site??

 

Already paid the price and been infracted for starting the thread

 

what a complete **** you are. a disgrace

 

I'll be buying a sticker to put in my rear window as a mark of respect

 

Yep, he deserves all the respect he's recieving.

No need for a thread like this at all i'm afraid.

 

this thread is just wrong

 

To be honest this whole Scoobynet community probably wouldnt be here if it wasnt for Colin Mcrae, As the Scoobynet owner said in his message earlier - he was inspired by colin mcrae's numerous victories to set up Scoobynet in the first place.Show some respect please

 

yep, agree with others, no need for a thread like this

 

Do you have to know someone to respect them?

 

i think he got the message. cant we get a mod to remove it and forget this thread

 

As above, think he's got the msg, no need to keep on at him.

 

Another foot in mouth moment from Gutmann Pug.

 

I dont think GP should have received an infraction for this (taking he did get it for this thread) as he has a right to ask, as not everyone knows everything about SWRT's history etc.
No need to crucify the guy, we are all feeling it and there is no bad intention in the original post.

He has expressed his opinion and it should stand IMO.

I do think his opinion is wrong, personally - but, an Infraction is a bit harsh?

I feel that someone like Colin McRae touched people without having to know him personally and so those people feel a sense of loss and wish to show their grief in some way or another. If that means a sticker or black ribbons, so be it.

I will simply remember him and feel a sadness for his wife and other members of his family.

 

The problem is that 90% of Gutman's post these days are trolling looking yo wind people up and get a response. Am in this case i am disgusted by his sick taste.

Maybe it was a genuine question, but from his past posts it makes it hard to believe.

 

In some ways I have to agree with Gutmann's post

It's not been 24 hours since his death and already there is talk of special edition cars, convoys, stickers etc etc


smacks of bad taste a lot more than this thread does, at least allow some time for his real friends and family to come to terms with their loss

 

dont think we need to see posts like this on here

 

Was waiting for a thread like this to come along, webby please delete it.

 

I agree with Gp i`m afraid, and i feel that people talking of visiting the crash site or profiteering from his untimely demise should be shouted down instead.

Gp`s infraction if due to this post should be overturned.

 

colin put subaru on the map with the legacy,how many people would have bought a subaru before he made them a house hold name,before he won everyone was into ford,I used to buy cosworths for a living,and I remember some one having a legacy turbo and no one new anything about it,it looked like a taxi until you new what it could do

 

Why? Because you don't agree with the OPs comments?

Whatever happened to free speech?

 

I loved his ballsy full on driving style but did I know him ....no

I did meet him on what turned out to be his very last WRC Rally in Turkey. He sat next to be in the back of a WRC camera Car for about 30k's. (His car had broken down on stage and ended up giving him a ride back to service)

did I know him after this......no............. But he is still my Idol.

Like many out off repect I will do something to show respect or honour his life and achievements.

We all hope to leave a small footprint history, hopefully one our family and friends can be proud of.

Regards

tony

 

Whatever happened to bad taste ?

 

looks like we have more than one ***** "op " that posts on here then

 

He's not even in the ground yet and people are talking of tacky convoys, if that's not bad taste......

 

Think this is enough everyone, OK Gutmann Pug made a comment that a lot of us did not agree with but he wasn't rude in anyway and he is entitled to his opinions so lets just let it go
