Colin McRae: We’ll Miss You
I was saddened at the news and still find it hard to believe that Colin McRae died in a helicopter crash around his home in Lanark, Scotland over the weekend. Along with him in the helicopter was his son, Johnny, another child and an adult. This is indeed a huge loss for WRC followers who had watch McRae give Britain it's first WRC Champion in 1995. Although his involvement with WRC has waned over the years, he is probably one of the biggest names in the sport - I mean the man has a couple rally video games under his belt, the most recent one, Colin McRae's DiRT,came out this year. He has also taken a part in the Dakar Rally, LeManns, and even competed in the Rally debut at the XGames in Los Angeles. He was hoping to jump back into the WRC for the 2008 season. He will surely be missed by all his fans around the world...Rest in Peace and condolences go out to your family.
RUMOR OF THE DAY: AE86 to make a come back?
Just like the undying rumor of a Honda CRX return every couple seasons, the Toyota Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno/AE86 has a similar cycle. This time coming from the Japanese magazine, Best Car. The "AE86" is slated for a Winter 2008 debut. Boasting a 120hp engine and under 2200lb weight, this car is set to be an affordable lightweight compact RWD car - the likes of what we haven't seen since the Miata debuted. Interesting note from the article is that the car would sport a RWD system from Heavy Fuji Industries a.k.a. Subaru. Anyone else see the Scion Fuse in the sketch? Hmmmm, I think I'll believe this when I see the car in showrooms. It's only a year away...
