When it comes to rallying, the World Rally Championship simply can't
match the Scottish Rally Championship. Where else would you get castles, cakes,
broken toes, wedding cars and bogus entries? On the basis that I couldn't
possibly make it up, it's all perfectly true, and it's all here:

Mustang? Surely not?
Scottish Rally Scene
If you've finished your special copy of
'Motorsport News' and the latest 'Truck & Driver' mag here's another excuse
to burn the bedside light. Bob Irvine's latest tome is now available, so look
out for it.
I don't know what Bob is on, but I hear that Red Bull has reported him
to the International Olympic
Committee drugs laboratory as having an unfair advantage over other
'energy providers' when it comes to expending work and effort. Each issue is
quite simply a triumph of graft, goodwill and determination.
Inside the new issue are reports and pics from the RSAC Scottish, Summer
Stages, Solway Coast and Mach 1 plus other interviews and articles. But here's
the thing, what's a report from the Safari and Ypres doing in a magazine called
'Scottish Rally Scene'? You'll have to buy it to find out. It's only 4 quid a
copy and it's available on Ebay or through Bob on Facebook at:
