remember when it was first diagnosed, someone i knew commented that he only had a couple of years. Its nearly always fatal. Real shame, least he got a world championship, must feel good to be the best in your chosen sport.

Bad news indeed.

An ambassador for the sport, he will be sadly missed.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

My friend died of the same thing a few years back. It takes your personality first and then your life.

As the old Irish saying goes, "you're a long time dead".

Let's all enjoy our time here to the fullest.

A great loss indeed! Very sad!

I too never knew of his illness and am a great rally fan.

I heard this this morning and was rather shocked.

Was looking at his website the other day trying to see how he was.

Damn shame.

Then you get those who just throw it away - see other thread.

I saw this on the news this morning, very sad and quite a shock - I thought he was getting better. Still, at least the time he had was lived to the full.
