Dr_Watson Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=1482732007 It doesn't look good. Lanark is my home town, I met him a few times, said hello when he was around during Xmas and New Year in the pub in Lanark. A really nice bloke...his Dad Jimmy too! There may have been 2 children on board, and I know he has 2 children! I just have to refresh the news pages until we know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 What dreadful news. So much talent and passion he did a lot for younger drivers but to be taken so soon and if his son was with him as well. My thoughts go out to his family. RIP Colin.
