    I had the pleasure of working on his Subaru when I did some work experience at Prodrive. None of the mechanics there had a bad word to say about him.

    Best of luck Richard.

    Yeah I saw this story

    He's a sound geezer whenever I've seen him being interviewed. Having said that, all rally drivers seem sound. Not like the stuck up idiots in f1.

    Anyway yeah hope he gets better and gives them scandanavians the whipping they deserve in 2005!

    Had a guy who used to work at Prodrive come into my sisters pub for a meal once, and he got served by my missus. She talked to him for a while about the drivers and he said Richard was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He had also worked with Colin and said that he could be quite demanding and stroppy...

    Sad news, a great driver but best of luck to him. Never nice to hear someone is ill, regardless of celebrity status or not...
