Ove Andersson .... RIP ...

Postby TRD Man » Fri Jun 13, 2008 7:29 pm

Most of you probably don't know who Ove Andersson is.
He was the founding father of Toyota Motorsports, almost single handedly getting Toyota into world championship rallying and heading their foray into F1.
I remember him as an exceptionally talented rally driver.
He died on Wednesday in an accident during a classic rally in South Africa.
What a huge legacy he's left and we Toyota enthusiasts have much to thank him for.

RIP Ove.

RIP.
