Rally - Customer Service

To help the curious, the aged and infirm and those suffering night blindness – after getting an eye searing blast of Cibie Super Oscars (ask yer faither) or a Lazer light bar during the hours of darkness - my big pal has come up with an idea to help find his ‘Book-tique’ on Friday. He has invested in a suitably decorated banner to fly above the red Transit, hopefully situated near Scrutineering, or somewhere else around Ledaig Car Park adjacent to the Distillery and Bus Stand. 

If the flag as at full height then the incumbent will be at home, if it is at half mast then approach cautiously and chap the windae delicately in case the auld git is having a senior moment (i.e. an elderly nap) in order to engage in a purchasing endeavour.

If there is no flag showing then ye urr looking in the wrang place! However I’m sure exact details will be published here once parked up and open for the business of dispensing educational and enlightening reading material for the rallying masses, namely ‘Murmurs on Mull’ and ‘The Scottish Rally Championship 1980-1989’ and we’ll also have some copies of Eric Dymock’s authoritative biography of Jim Clark.

And if you still can’t see the fluttering flag then you must be suffering the after effects of a visit to the MacG, the MacArms, the Mish, the Western Piles or maybe even a bit of product sampling in the Distillery emporium.

And for only 20 quid it’s 350 pages of nostalgic reading material to while away the hours waiting for a replacement or weather delayed ferry on the way home.
