I remember when Colin broke his thumb. He was such a hard ass that he actually considered amputating it just so that he could heal quicker and race the next event versus sitting out 2 events. That's fucking hard-core!
You'd never see Richard Burns do shit like that, hell even Juha Kankunen (rally god) had to convince Colin not to run... for the betterment of the team.
Colin was in his second year with Ford when he broke his thumb.
