From our front-page news:
As revealed over the weekend by numerous sources, Colin McRae, of Rally Racing fame, has died in a helicopter crash along with his five-year-old son. McRae was 39 years-old and leaves behind his wife and 9-year-old daughter. McRae was certainly a legend in what he did. He brought Rally racing to the masses (with the help of his game series) and truly accomplished a lot throughout his life.

There's little good to ever come out of someone's passing, but it kicks everyone else in the pants to realize how fortunate they are to be alive. As Social Distortion said in their song 'Reach for the Sky', "Reach For the Sky, 'cause tomorrow may never come". Well said. Our deepest thoughts go out to the McRae family.

Colin was a great son, a loving husband to Alison and a fantastic father to Johnny and his big sister Hollie. Johnny was a great wee guy, spending every spare minute with his dad, and even at this early stage it looked like he had the potential to carry on the family dynasty.
