My brother an I both looked up to him as a hero / role model. There was a sense of pride that our Cousin could make such a sucess of doing what he loved, while remaining such a well grounded approachable guy. How many 48 year olds get an International WRC Team drive? It is an amazing feat.
My wife called me with the news while I was touring the South Island on my XX. I was able to visit Possum while he was in Hospital, at the time everone hoped for a miracle - he looke like he might just wake at any moment. The support he got from his team and family was fantistic.
I went to his funeral and it was a celerbration of his life - a "prize giving". I will remember forever the image his brave little son carrying Possums helmet in front of the coffin and the speech he gave for his dad "love you to infinity".
For me the song Clocks from Cold Play is now permanently associated with a video they played of Possum driving at his best. I brought the Album yesterday.
It concluded with Possum on the big screen saying, "Its the bad stuff that make you appreciate just how good the good stuff is".
