Just noticed this on Twitter (from Robert Reid)

I don't usually get upset when someone I don't know dies, but I remember being gutted when I heard he passed away.

2005 was not a good year for rallying.

Richard and Michael "Beef" Park both died

He was a true gent, sorely missed. I can't believe it's been 7 years.

I still have a photograph of Richard and myself together, he stopped a TV interview he was in the middle of to come over and have it taken and give me his autograph when I was younger.

Nothing was too much for him, I was absolutely gutted when he passed away.

RIP Rich.

Was a very sad day

Gone but never forgotten.

Can just imagine him hooning around up there with a certain Mr McRea in a pair of Imprezza's.....

RIP Richard.

Same with me (when Ayrton) died.

When he won the title back in 01 I was only 7, remember thinking how amazing he was. Grew with him and WRC...brings back many memories. Gone but not forgotten. #paintitorange

Amazing how time flies, but I'm glad we step back and remember these great heros!

5yrs since Colin McRae died too, sept 15th 2007.
