Look back at Moffat

Didn’t manage to get any real atmospheric or close-up foties at the Moffat Classic Car Show on Sunday because I was kept kinda busy all day, not so much selling stuff, but catching up and chatting with lots of visitors. At one point I thought I should maybe give up writing and selling books and just sell old posters and stickers! But dinnae worry, I’ve still got some posters left so they’ll be at the RSAC Scottish Rally next month, 18th July – just look for the red Transit (and the red and white chequered flag fluttering above it) in Jas P Wilson’s yard in Dalbeattie on the day of the rally.

Amongst the visitors, and delighted to see him (not just because he bought a book!), was Lee Hastings. He had a wee bit of a health scare a couple of weeks back and there he was, as large as life and as fit as a Kwik-Fit Fitter’s dancer teacher, and took great pleasure in making my blood creep describing his operation. Apparently he had two stents fitted, but they were inserted into his wrist and somehow were made to travel up his arm and into his chest where they were needed and then the devices were ‘inflated’ to fix the problems. Seems to me some of these surgeon folks would make good rally navigators if they can direct a couple of tiny objects safely and accurately through the maze of veins and capillaries, and past corpuscles and all manner of things in the human bloodstream, to precisely hit the target. And when you think of Lee and what he has subjected his body to over the years, that’s no mean feat!

George Rutherford, who emigrated some time ago from Galloway to Carlisle, stopped by with a bag of gold dust which included some real nuggets - FULL sets of rally results from the early 1970s. Not just top sixes or top tens, the full hand-written and typed lists with stage times! That’s what makes attending these classic shows so valuable, meeting up with auld stagers and finding out what they have got stashed away in their attics and garages. So that’s going to fill some gaps in the next book!

Ivor Clark was there with Keith McCleary having brought cars for the rally car display and Ivor, as usual, was full of chat and mysterious goings-on back at ‘Ivor’y Towers. And a driver I hadn’t seen for years turned up, Kenny Nairn whose star rose very quickly 50 years ago then disappeared abruptly when the call of farm life forced him to concentrate on coos rather than cars! And speaking of quick rally drivers, gentleman James Rae the 1970 and ’72 Scottish Rally Champion popped his head round the display, had a good look through the sample books (but didnae buy ony!) and had a bit of craic before heading off on his regal saunter round the three fields with over 700 cars and motor cycles entered and on show.

Speaking of motorised two-wheelers the inimitable Mose Hutchinson, he of the kilt, no knickers and green wellies trendsetting fashion style, poked his head round the corner of the van at close of play. Most of you four-wheelers will never have of him but Mose is part of Scotland’s motor cycle sporting fabric. An absolute bundle of non-stop energy concerning all things bike. If you’ve got 5 or 10 minutes to stop and chat with him, forget it, you’ll lose at least an hour, if not two.

And yes that figure of over 700 vehicles on display was no exaggeration. The Moffat Show just gets bigger and bigger each year but the joint Moffat & DMC and the Galloway MCC organising team have got it down to a fine art although it must take days to measure up all the pitches and divide up the areas to accommodate all the classes and exhibits. The show also continues to attract more visitors and tourists. Iain Wilson said it took him an hour to get from the roundabout at the M74 to the showground at Moffat – a distance of less than a mile and a half!

But if I could offer a word of advice to the organisers for next year, they’ll need to book more loos. From around 11.00am till 2.30pm the queues at the two sets of portaloos which I saw were never ending with increasing numbers of fidgeting, cross-knee’d folk hinging-oan for dear life just hoping they would get to the door before nature took over.

Now, for those of you who didn’t manage to get there, you can still buy the books on-line, but I repeat, no orders will be taken for the posters (too much hassle!), those one-offs are first come first served:

Moffat Classic Car Show

 Happy Dreichday .... Those words were carefully chosen here at the Moffat Classic Car Show today, 28th June. 'Happy' because the place is filling up with glorious machinery and 'Dreich' because it's kinda damp. That's because here in Scotland it never rains, we just wash the fresh air frequently! Mind you there is a drying cycle between the washes and rinses, and the forecast reckons there will be more drying cycles this afternoon. Fingers crossed. So the Book-tique is now open for business selling books and posters, and I've also found a stock of old rally stickers, so we'll see how those go.

 

Treasure Trove

When they’re gone, they’re gone! …. Guess what I found when clearing out the old shed? Some distant memories from years gone by, 32 years ago to be more precise. Back then Burmah Petroleum was a relatively new sponsor for the Scottish Rally Championship and were getting awfy enthusiastic about their sponsorship. Founded in Edinburgh in 1909, Burmah Petroleum was indeed a Scottish oil company, one of the first, and when approached to sponsor the national series after Esso’s 13 year tenure came to an end they jumped in with both feet. Sadly it all came to an end rather too quickly. Just a year later some internal re-structuring of the company saw their Head Office relocated to Swindon beside associate company Castrol and their ties with Scotland broken.

Anyway, one of the ideas was to produce a series of posters which could be placed inside the advertising ‘A’ boards at their filling stations around the country, and these could be rotated with other advertising campaigns whenever a round of the national series was due to hit the filling stations’ local area. They may well have over-ordered their first batch because I found a large round tub right at the back of the shed!

Inside the tub were a tight roll of posters. I have no idea how many there are, and I’m certainly not going to drag them out to count them! The posters are huge – 2 feet wide and just over 3 feet tall, or A1 size if you ken the professional term! They are printed on good thick paper as well, top quality job!

I plan to take them to the Moffat Show this coming weekend and the Book-tique will be there on Sunday 28th June from show opening to closing and I’ll be flogging them off at a fiver a time. If I’ve got any left I’ll take the rest to the RSAC Scottish Rally on the 18th of July. And no, I’m not taking orders or posting them out – I wouldn’t know how to package them safely!

I’ve actually got a smaller copy of the original artwork – but I’m keeping that for myself! So if anyone is interested in decorating their man-cave, study, office or garage, just remember first come, first served – and once they’re gone, they’re gone!!

Photo shows an actual poster – striking, eh?

Rally - Thirty years ago

Just when you thought the MG Metro 6R4 was dead, the 1996 Weldex Rally in Argyll (forerunner of this coming weekend’s Dunoon Presents Argyll Rally, 19/20 June) proved otherwise. Of the top 12 cars which finished the seven forest stage event, eight were Ford Escort Cosworths and two were Sierra Cosworths!

The winners were Highlanders Jimmy Christie and Murdoch Campbell who finished 15 seconds clear of the George Gauld/Roy Campbell Escort Cossie and half a minute clear of the similar car of Raymond Munro/Graham Brunton. But there’s more. Andy Horne and Jim Howie had been leading the rally by 45 seconds in their own Metro going into the final stage at Ardgarten. They had a comfortable 45 second margin and were within sight of their third win of the 1996 championship series - when a wheel broke! Jimmy and Campbell couldn’t believe their eyes when they passed the stricken three-wheeled Metro stuck in a ditch.

The other two cars were of course the winning crew’s Metro and in ninth place raising a few eyebrows was the Vauxhall Astra of ‘local’ driver Jimmy Paterson with Stewart Merry – and this despite a bent rear beam!

I say ‘local’ but Jimmy was from Arrochar at the head of Loch Long, just one of talent aplenty in the county of Argyll back in the day, although Dunoon’s Bobby Youden and Ernest Cowan failed to finish the 1996 event in their new Escort Cosworth. The 1995 Scottish Champion Challenger retired on the final stage when the turbocharger failed.

Apart from Paterson it wasn’t a good day for the ‘locals’ as the Calderwood twins struck trouble. They came from Rosneath on the other side of the Firth of Clyde, just six miles away from Dunoon as the crow flies, but if the crow had to walk from Rosneath to Dunoon carrying an empty petrol can, the distance would be 54 miles by road around the head of Loch Long! Anyway Matt Calderwood’s Ford Escort RS failed to make the distance although brother Scott salvaged some family pride with 23rd overall in the Peugeot, but nothing was ever straightforward with those two!

Further down the results sheet was another local crew, a certain newcomer by the name of Stuart McQueen with Alistair Green finishing 29th overall in their class winning Vauxhall Astra.

As ever, there are more tales and photos in the books, and the mobile sales Book-tique will be at Dunoon Stadium all day Friday 19th June but sadly not on the Saturday. Space will be tight in the service park so the Book-tique presence might be small – just look for the flag:

Rally - Changing times

40 years ago, rallying in Argyll was very different to what will be ‘presented on stage’ next week on the Dunoon Presents Argyll Rally. Back then the action took place on the Forestry Commission’s gravel roads as opposed to Argyll & Bute’s tarmac highways and byways.

The 1986 event was memorable for many reasons, Ken Wood’s first full season with the mighty MG Metro 6R4 and Donald Heggie’s first full season in the Audi quattro A2, and of course a certain youngster started to make his mark on the results sheets - as well as the topography!

After a winning debut with the Metro on the final round of the 1985 Scottish Championship, the Trossachs Rally, Ken Wood and Peter Brown won the Dunoon based Autofit Stages Rally in 1986 while victories on the Kingdom Stages Rally and a repeat victory on the Trossachs clinched the crew’s third Scottish Championship title.

Having won the end of season 1985 Galloway Hills Rally on the Audi’s debut, things looked promising for Heggie and Iain Mungall as they won the season opening Snowman Rally round in 1986, but an off-road ‘extra curricular’ excursion on the Autofit Stages scuppered their own chances of a third national title. Coincidentally, finishing second behind Heggie on the ’85 Galloway Hills were a certain Murray Grierson abetted/hindered by one ‘Jaggy Bunnet’ on the maps! The number 2 Ford Escort crew had a grandstand view of top seed Donald’s first attempts to tame the beast running ahead of them while experimenting with left foot braking – not that the Audi was ever within sight, but the marks and power gouges that were left in the road by the turbocharged German tractor told their own tale!

But back to the ’86 Autofit, David Gillanders and Graham Neish finished second to Wood just 10 seconds adrift in another Metro 6R4 while Murray Grierson and Roger Anderson were third in the Opel Kadett 400.

Also finishing in the top ten was a wee red 1600cc Talbot Sunbeam. On only his fourth forest stage rally, Colin McRae, with Nicky Jack, were 9th overall finishing 1 minute 16 seconds clear of regular 1600 class pace setters, Andy Kelly and George Black in their Sunbeam in 13th place. Yet another crew of note finished 18th overall in another Sunbeam, this one driven by Barrie Lochead and navigated by one Derek Ringer Esq. The ‘McRae legend’ was on its way!

Presenting the prizes was the boss of Autofit himself, Ian Wilson.

It’ll all be a wee bit different next weekend, from nine stages on grush to sixteen stages on asphalt, the 2026 Dunoon Presents Argyll Rally offers a rather different challenge to that which faced competitors exactly 40 years ago.

By the way, there are more photos in the books:

Thought for the week

Despite all the glamour, riches and privilege surrounding Formula 1’s annual visit to Monaco last weekend, it wasn’t the racing that made the big headlines, it was the appearance of one pampered wee middle-aged woman with a big bahookie and a re-buffed grey-haired gridwalk interviewer that tickled the fancy of news headline writers around the globe. Anything to lift the tedium of a high speed procession around tin-fenced narrow streets, eh!

It’s not tradition that attracts F1 to Monaco, it’s money. And yet the safety team which inspects and approves (or not!) every other race circuit seems to turn a blind eye when it comes to the Mediterranean’s version of Tobermory. Aye indeed, there’s armco all around, and a diver on standby in a boat in the harbour, all perfectly safe, and what about the spectators perched and packed tighter than sardines around the periphery?

Meanwhile, closer to home, on a wee island off the west coast of Englandshire some real racing had come to a conclusion where speeds getting awfy close to 200 mph are a regular feature and unlike their F1 counterparts the participants aren’t inside their machines, they are clinging to the outside of them. The only thing that protects them from lamp posts, dykes, hedges and big drops is a second skin of leather, albeit a full-body leather airbag for the first time! Yeah, that’s really safe, a suit that inflates like a balloon in an emergency.

Also ignored by the ‘national’ BBC England company (with regional opt-outs) is the fact that a Welsh chap now leads the World Rally Championship having won the latest round of this series on another island, although this one was even further away.

On the other hand, we’ve got a whole summer of ball games to look forward. If folk are not kicking balls into nets, they’ll be batting them over the nets, or hitting them with sticks into wee holes in the ground or whacking them with two-handed lumps of firewood over boundaries.

On a brighter note, at least we’ve got the Dunoon Presents Argyll Rally to look forward to on the 19th and 20th of June and the hope is that the mobile Book-tique will be there to satisfy your whimsical appetites and remind you of happier times. Happy days, eh?

https://fife-motor-sports-agency.square.site/

Oh! And the photos? They were actually taken during ‘new’ car launches on location some 25 years ago. The Renault Avantime outside what was David Coulthard’s hotel in Monaco at the time and the Honda Civic Type R on the fabled island itself. Those were happy days too!

Man on a Mission

Instead of sitting in a seat clutching a set of Pace Notes or wandering around a Service Area as CLO answering inane queries and sorting out serious questions from competitors and bystanders, former national and international rally co-driver, Campbell Roy is going for a ramble in the countryside. A rather long ramble - the ‘Trek500’.

Unlike the Proclaimers who sang about walking 500 miles, but somehow didn’t get around to actually doing it, Campbell has set himself the task of walking not just a mere 500 miles, but to be more precise, 540 miles. And it’s not just any old meander this is a walk on the wildside. He’ll be following the ‘Scottish National Trail’ across moors, through glens, over rivers and round mountains.

Having been personally involved in many different charities and assisted on various charitable events over many years, Campbell is doing this one on his own initiative although he is inviting anyone to come along with him or join him on any ‘Stage’ of the hike or any part of it.

Starting from Kirk Yetholm in the south east corner of Scotland on the 11th July, the 540 mile route will take him north skirting Edinburgh to the south west and then heading westwards, skirting Glasgow to the north east before heading north through Aberfoyle and Callander into Perthshire. From there it’s on to Kingussie and Fort Augustus then onwards and upwards to Kinlochewe and over Assynt towards the final Finish Control at Cape Wrath on the north west tip of the Scottish mainland on the 26th September – hopefully!

And the big question- why? It’s all in aid of raising funds for ‘Prostate Cancer Research’. Full details of the route and timings, for this mammoth challenge and how to support it and donate to it, are on the website, see below.

And while TV, radio and the news media are full of stories of soap stars and celebrities, sporting stars and retired sportsmen and women undergoing arduous charitable fund raising tasks, there has been no acknowledgement of this challenge from any of the main media outlets. On that basis it is up to ordinary folk to do their bit to support, donate and sponsor this worthy cause.

Prostate cancer affects thousands of lives. 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed in their life and that figure represents 1 death every 40 minutes. Just think about that for a minute or two.

Now I should add - and not to put it too politely - that Campbell has long since passed his ‘first flush of youth’. Indeed he may never see the number 5 or even 6 as the first figure of his age ever again! So unlike all these so-called fund-raising celebrities who enlist the help of ‘trainers’ and nutritonists, and who-knows, spirit-gurus or whatever, Campbell is just quietly preparing and getting on with it, so let’s all do our bit to help, support and sponsor his efforts.

No show at the show

Unfortunately, the Book-tique will not be appearing at Drumlanrig today (Sun 31st) as the proprietor of said specialised mobile motor rallying books emporium is ever so slightly indisposed this fine fresh morning. To those who sought shelter under the canopy from the elements yesterday an apology is therefore offered that they will be unable to do so again today!

Normal service will therefore be resumed at the Book-tique’s next appearance at the ‘Dunoon Presents Argyll Rally’ on 19th June and the ‘Moffat Classic Car Show’ on June 28th. Otherwise, if ye cannae wait, all books are available here:

The Visit !

 A rather special visitor dropped by the book-tique this morning for a wee chat about the good old days.

Lombard Rally Festival at Drumlanrig

 Steady stream of rally cars arriving on trailers and inside wheeled boxes, lots of weel kent faces amongst them and the chuck wagons are busy already. Let's see what the day brings.

Rally Galloway

After the furious fighting frenzy of last weekend’s Jim Clark and Reivers Rallies at Duns, this weekend sees a more ‘gentle’ approach to the sport of rallying with Drumlanrig Castle hosting their first ever Lombard Rally Festival. That’s not to say that Drumlanrig knows nothing about rallying, because the estate has actually hosted some competitive single-venue rallies in the past.

However this coming weekend, Saturday and Sunday 30th and 31st May, the organisers of the annual and hugely successful ‘Lombard Bath Rally Festival’, and other such festivals around the country, are coming to Dumfries & Galloway with their rally road show.

Mixing rally stars from past and present with rally cars from past and present, this exciting spectacle will feature a variety of front wheel, rear wheel and four wheel drive cars driven by current and past drivers on the specially designed ‘Rally Stage’ within the castle grounds.

The organisers of these festivals always have a few surprises up their sleeves and who knows what will be on the menu this weekend. From a three cylinder, one litre Volkswagen CitiGo to an eight cylinder, 6 litre Vauxhall Firenza – just don’t stand near the exhaust when the big beast gets fired up!

The big attraction of an event such as this is that spectators can get up close to the drivers and cars and find out what the sport is all about. Amongst the entry list are some Ecosse Junior 1000 rally cars. These cars are used in the 14 to 17 year old young driver category and provides the ideal first step into the sport even if the youngster isn’t yet old enough to hold a driving licence. Once the road licence age has been reached, the next step up might involve one of the various one-make challenges, like the more budget friendly MG3 Challenge, where modifications are limited and the competition is closer. And there should be a couple of these cars at Drumlanrig this weekend.

However, it is the ‘big bangers’ which will attract most attention from Ford Escorts and Subaru Imprezas, to an MG Metro 6R4 and Ford RS200, and keep a special eye out for one car in particular – it has two engines, one at the back and one at the front!

And although this isn’t a proper rally as such, just don’t try and tell any of the drivers that, once the green light signals ‘Go’ you can bet your little racing booties that it will be foot to the floor all the way. Just stand well back. And on that note, although spectators are welcome please listen to and adhere to the Marshals’ instructions.

And if you do want any more information on Scottish rallying you could always stop by the ‘Book-tique’ and buy a copy of the ‘Scottish Rally Championship’ books which will provide some entertaining and educational insight into the sport in Scotland, with info and photos on a young Colin McRae’s career amongst others.

For more information on the event, see Facebook page:

Rally - When men were boys

A few pics from the 1985 Jim Clark Rally. a lifetime ago, or to be more precise, 41 years since the roads were gravel ! And there's more such piccies in the books !!

Rally - Calm before the Storm

Although the Book-tique will be at the Jim Clark Reivers Rally this coming Sunday 24th, it won’t be there on Saturday 23rd and will only be there on Friday 22nd if some folk wish to avail themselves of some entertaining and informative reading! So if you are looking for books before heading home after the Friday/Saturday event best let me know beforehand - I can be contacted via DM on FB if interested.

This non-appearance on the Saturday is due to the refusal to issue a domestic Pass for Saturday as there is a holiday weekend shortage of the official Carers normally required to accompany a certain personage on extra curricular duties!

However, the reason this offer is being made for a Friday visit is that a couple of our visitors from the far south, even beyond Carlisle and Coldstream, have expressed interest in acquiring some copies of the ‘Scottish Rally Championship’ books as they believe these tomes of deeds past and gory forest descriptions have an educational value and will be helpful in knowing what awaits rally folks in the North East of Scotland in August later this year and for the WRC visitors next year.

Given the interest being expressed by our furrin cousins it is indeed fortuitous that these books feature a ‘Glossary’ at the back to help protect their Anglian innocence from the celtic candour of the Scottish vernacular. Apparently there are still some fresh and virtuous souls out there who don’t understand what glaur and stoor are, let alone cowped and gubbed, so this helpful addition to the books will prove a godsend no doubt.

The book-tique will therefore be open for business all day Sunday in the Reivers Rally Service Area, and if required, on Friday in the same place – look for the red-chequered flag!

And if you fail to make a personal visitation you can always buy the books on line:

Rally - Shrinkflation

Of course I blame the Government, Trumpland, the oil companies, the gas and electric companies, the greedy big supermarkets, the crooks that run the Water Boards, the bigger crooks who work in Stock Exchanges and Banks – we all same to be paying more for poorer quality, smaller quantities and worse service.

And so it seems, it has come to this. Signalling the end of civilisation as we know it, this quality of life draining process has wound its way down to Rhona’s tablet. Anyone involved in the Ecosse Junior 1000 Rally Championship series will know only too well of the invigorating and restorative properties of the sweet and sugary substance known as Rhona’s tablet and available in the big tin to all who frequent the Ecosse Junior marquee at rallies. A Scottish delicacy famed far and wide, and yet it too has seemingly been afflicted by the curse of shrinkflation, the cost of ingredients being driven ever upwards by the greedy and uncaring.

Where once this home made succulence was mouthful and chunky, it is but a shadow of its former self. Not so much a ‘sugar fix’ as a ‘sugar tickle’!

We’re doomed, we’re all doomed !!

 

Rally - Faster and Furiouser

What a grand day at Kames yesterday for the Mayfield Garage Services Kames Rally, what the track lacks in length it more than makes up for in interest and complexity and the best of it is that spectators can see almost the whole stage from the grass banking. At times there were up to four cars on track at any one time and the eyes simply couldn’t keep up with the action.

Graham Bruce and David Aitken eventually won the day by 30 seconds from Ross Fernie and Bryan Hamilton with Wily Willie Pollock and John Marshall safe in third - but they were only one second behind watching the mayhem play out ahead of them. Alister Watson got off to a slow start on the first two stages with a sick Escort, which was quickly fixed only to retire later, followed by Colin Gemmell who withdrew when the VW’s transfer ‘box failed, Billy McClelland was penalised for an overshoot and Steven Street was up for the fight but retired on the final stages. Mind you he had one of those wild fishtailing ‘spectator-step-back-quick’ moments on the fifth stage and how he got away with it, providence only knows!

Peter O’Neill and Alfie Letham finished fourth, and didn’t they make that wee 1600cc Nova dance, and Cole Hastings was in the top ten in that raucous Honda engined MG till the final stage. He says it revs to 9,500, I think he’s being awfy modest!

Top Ten:
1, Graham Bruce/David Aitken (Ford Escort Mk2) 19m 49s
2, Ross Fernie/Bryan Hamilton (Subaru Impreza sti) 20m 19s
3, William Pollock/John Marshall (Ford Escort Mk2) 20m 20s
4, Peter O’Neill/Alfie Letham (Vauxhall Nova) 20m 25s
5, Stephen Donnelly/Rian Walker (Ford Escort RS1800) 20m 27s
6, Peter McCallum/Stephen Clark (Ford Escort) 20m 45s
7, Duncan Ferguson/Jamie McQue (Vauxhall Chevette HS) 21m 02s
8, David Telfer/Hayden Brown (Ford Escort Mk2) 21m 05s
9, Shane Collins/Greg Halfpenny (Ford Fiesta Rally 4) 21m 07s
10, Graeme Rintoul/Jim Rintoul (Ford Fiesta ST) 21m 07s

In the Ecosse Junior 1000 event William Paterson and Mark McCulloch were having a right old ding dong with McKenzie Snowden and Rob Fagg till the blue Skoda simply fell over and landed on its roof. It was one of those two-wheeling, will-it, won’t-it hairpin moments, but it did. Even so Snowden’s winning margin over James McLaughlan and Andrew Blackwood was only two seconds, and they were only two seconds up on third placed Gregor Reid and Simon Mills! How close was that?

Top Ten:
1, McKenzie Snowden/Rob Fagg (VW UP!) 22m 05s
2, James McLaughlan/Andrew Blackwood (VW UP!) 22m 07s
3, Gregor Reid/Simon Mills (Seat Mii) 22m 09s
4, Lion Koffman/Richard Stewart (Skoda Citigo) 22m 13s
5, Ollie Poole/Richard Simmonds (Seat Mii) 22m 18s
6, Zak Furber/Chloe Fleming (Skoda Citigo) 22m 26s
7, Rhys Purvin/Barry Young (VW UP!) 22m 43s
8, Charlie Kelso/Jon Hawkins (Citroen C1) 22m 50s
9, April Blair/Eilidh Williamson (Skoda Citigo) 22m 57s
10, Gregor Beatson/Craig Wallace (Skoda Citigo) 23m 35s
