Im sad to announce that the famous swedish rally driver Mr Björn Waldegård passed away today in the age of 70.
We all know that he, among a huge lot of other cars, drove one of the factory rally 914/6's in the early '70s.
He will be missed by a lot of us.

very sad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I remember having (snail) mail contact with him a couple of years back, chatting about the rumor that he might have been the driver of the 916 #0015, that is known as being totaled in the early years.
He told me that he never had the joy to drive a 916 ...
