Since the Subaru community owes so much to Colin McRae...

We at NASIOC are already in conversations with SUBARU to see where to send the proceeds of an upcoming decal to be designed once we have an approval and we (specially I) would like LegacyGT.com in on it to link to such thread once it's up. NASIOC will handle all the logistics of design, making, and sending the funds through Subaru to the McRae family.

 

Legacy was the first Rally car for Subaru and Colin it's first driver so let's give our thanks.

 

This is the message on our site:

 

 

Hey guys, just to keep you posted...

 

 

 

For those that aren't aware, we did something similar to this a while back for the Lovell/Freeman families when they passed away, and raised about $5K that we sent to their families by way of Subaru. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=798400

 

 

 

So I want to do something, but it has to be run through NASIOC. No offense to anyone here, but I can't trust that someone else running it will make sure the profits are going directly to the families. I do realize that the seller here is trying to make them not for profit, but that's not really helping anyone involved.

 

 

 

What's more generous, putting a decal on your car in memorial of someone so important to the Subaru community or putting the decal on your car while at the same time making a small donation to help their family, and show them how much Colin meant to all of us.

 

 

 

I will post up details as soon as we have something ready, we're working on it.

 

Please let me know if you'd like in on this!

great idea Leo....let me know and we'll get it set up here in whatever way needed to help. I don't have a Subaru, but would be happy to buy one to add 5hp to my toolbox

id be down for that

Thanks guys!

 

Update from Nick:

We'll donate it to whichever the family chooses.

 

 

 

 

 

We will send the money however the family desires. I assume most likely they will want it sent to a charity in Colin's memory.

 

 

 

I'll keep updating the announcements as I get more information.

 

 

 

As of this moment we are waiting a couple of days while my contact at Subaru gets in contact with the family to get approval for this as we did with Lovell and Freeman's families. But we also want to be respectful and give them a few days before we start jumping all over them.

 

 

 

Here is a tribute video highlighting most of his early career and the Legacy:

Great choice of music in that tribute.

I hope there is another thread about this here, Nasioc is on their fifth page about this.

Yeah we can do something like this, im out of town today but will look into it tonight. If PGT want's to organize a thread I'll get it moved to an official place.

Ok... we have a revision... I had Greg make up another... after talking with Andy (Weasel 555) and we are going with a different date.

 

 

 

Here is the new design.

This decal was designed within the NASIOC community and we feel best recognizes the occasion it's meant to honor.

 

 

 

All profits from these decals will be sent to the Jerviswood Trust as the McRae family has asked. Details about the trust and the charities it will benefit can be found here: http://www.colinmcrae.com/
