Rally Champion farewell..

heyas,
I'm sure you are all aware of the passing of rally champion Possum Bourne in the freak accident a few days back . I thought it was worth a mention to post this link that all could read which writes about how much of a good guy the Subaru driver was. I think it is important for all group N rally fans to remember this person when they watch the group n rally, as he contributed so much to the sport.
Thanks

"It was not unusual for him to fly from New Zealand to Sydney for a five-minute television interview on Sunday and return home on the next flight.

"He was the ideal team leader and team-mate. He never fostered any jealousies or selfishness.

"He was always accessible to the media and his fans, indeed to everyone who wanted to chat, because Poss loved a chat!
