    Struggling with tears reading that I can't imagine how I'd cope with something like this myself.

    Posted to https://www.facebook.com/groups/26761491256/ and http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthr...465#post719465 as well as the "Carbores" mailing list I'm on.

    Where ever you go, never take an idiot with you. You can be sure you'll find one when you get there.

    Unfortunately I've seen far too many incidences like this. It's never easy but I can't imagine howthe parents feel.

    No one should have to bury their kids

    Sad sad news


    Anyone told the guy that TRAX is this coming Sunday ? If his lad loved modified cars etc then this would be one hell of a show for him to attend, Not to mention closer than the 8th given the time constraint he is living with..

    Jesus that's horrible. Properly welling up reading that poor Dad's post.

    Would be worth setting up a dedicated FB page for the event if he wants to really get word out there.

    We made it go viral. This is all over FB in a big way.

    I messaged SFS Silicone Performance Hoses. And they linked it for me. And they are going to try and send a rep as well. It's been shared out over 30 times from that one link.
    Colin McRae page shared as well. And a few more are doind so in the morning.

    Amazing response on Scoobynet:

    Hi buddy, tried replying to your message, but your inbox must be full.

    I have news regarding our earlier conversation.

    Firstly... Jackie at Prodrive would like to invite your little man, wife and yourself to their HQ in Banbury, to sit in Colin and Richards championship winning scoobies, and maybe check out the Mini WRC ;-)

    And secondly... Angela, (Malcolm wilsons PA) of M Sport Ford World Rally, team would like to do something for you all. And with Rally GB coming up, who knows ;-)*

    May I take this time to thank both "Prodrive" and "M Sport" for showing their wonderful support at this time.*

    Can you message me your contact number asap, so I can forward onto Jackie and Angela... They can call you and get things arranged. Thanks.

    Hope you all enjoy

    Regards & Best Wishes

    Steve*
