Colin McRae was killed in a helicopter crash yesterday. I never had the pleasure of seeing him race in real life but I did follow it on TV. He truly embodied the never say die spirit and will be missed by million of fans.
Check out this clip from the 2006 X Games – he rolls his car(2:10) and still continues on to finish second.

I just got this great decal of the years in which Team Lotus won the F1 constructors championship. It may have been well before my time but there was a period in the 60s and 70s that Lotus was by far and away the best team in Formula 1.
