RIP Burnsie. My company cars runs one of those stickers above and I did the Richard Burns memorial relay earlier in the year and managed to blag a ride in Richard's group n legacy with his father Alex Alex then parked the group n car next to mine



Some kid having his photo taken with Alex between the group n and mine









Because I had the only legacy there David Williams gave me a guided tour of the group n car. It was the 2nd best day of my life, only my wedding day can beat that I have to say that incase my mrs reads this

Me stood behind Alex in my Burns jacket. I might wear that later today

How desperately sad

I remember in the early 90s when Max Power had just came out and they done a feature on him when he was driving a 309 GTI rally car a virtual unknown then , and look how far he came

RIP Fella .
