Last night I confirmed to all my staff at Cleland Volvo that we will pay full salaries and not pay anyone off during this difficult time to give some security to their futures
Now I know we are supposed to be going electric to save the planet 😱but tell me this doesn’t give you a stirring in your groin ??!! Turn up the volume 👍👍
Clearing my office and just found this gem from 1st Touring Car World Cup at Monza 1993 look who was fastest in practice 1 😇😇 and just look at the names on the entry WOW
Thoughts are with the family & friends of Murray Walker, on what would have been his 100th birthday.
Thanks Murray, for providing us with some many memorable moments.

Murray meant everything to motorsport fans the world over 👍 what a lovely man who will be sadly missed RIP Murray we will always remember you my friend 😢
Hi mate am now have at least 10 years on you and I still race my Vectra as fast as in the days of 97 so tell all the doubters that age is no barrier its passion and cunning that will get you through 👍👍🏆🏆Good luck
I am 52,let's see how you feel at 52 as seems you think life is over? And like my career day 1 you only get out what you put in! And trust me this has been a lot of work from me & several others. If we provide entertainment and I enjoy it then great if not I will get my bus pass!
Now just an idea folks but since the roads are deserted would it not be a good time to fill in all the potholes ? With social distancing and health care of course a priority ?

To remember why she was called "Queen of the Ring," this one's worth watching! In her honour, the late Sabine Schmitz will have a corner named after her on the Nurburgring, the Sabine-Schmitz-Kurve will be inaugurated in September

M’am I think you need to check out your facts and am sure you will find most of the rest of the world gave you what you are claiming to have invented 🏴
The American People invented electricity, automobiles, airplanes, televisions, cell phones, and virtually every other incredible invention before social media.
America’s greatness lies with the people.
Not Twitter. Not Government.
It’s time to dig into that American spirit.
Had one of these shit boxes as a company car in the 90s. !!!! Vauxhall must have been trying to kill me 🤪 it handled like a bowl of porridge in a force 10 gale during a Cat 5 hurricane 😂😂
Just had a customer enter our dealership refused to wear a mask and refused to have his temp taken so we threw him out !!! Bull and horns come to mind here 😡
I think every driver should marshal at least once a year to see what the orange army have to do each weekend ?? I passed my marshals exams and went off to do a wee bit on some Scottish rallies 2 years ago 👍 the sport wont exist without them 👏
@PaulONeill29
I suggested last year to BARC that you could do this when you paid your club membership and also that a marshal should give out a trophy at each
@btcc
meeting.

Champion, Will Hoy returned to the series for the second half of the 1999 season, replacing Russell Spence in the Arena Motorsport run, Renault Laguna.
Will took 2 independent victories & finished an impressive 3rd in the Independent standings.
Just volunteered to marshal on Jim Clark Rally in 10 days time 1st time since I started racing and think every driver should be mandated to do 1 event a year 👍 looking forward to it
Just volunteered to marshal on
@jim_clark_rally
first time as an ex driver I will have been the the other side of the fence 👍 more drivers should volunteer on their weekends off ? we need more marshals without them we have no sport 🏴
I once got asked to judge the Miss UK comp but declined and sent James Thompson and he married the winner !!! Then she divorced him 🤪🤪 and took some of his $💰
On this day, 25 years ago,
@jclelandracing
won the 1995

Keep your eyes peeled for a chat with the Scotsman, as he looks back on that fantastic 1995 season.
Wishing 4-time
@BTCC
champion, series legend & superb engineer a very Happy 75th Birthday.
A legendary driver & team owner, he also raced at Bathurst and 24 hour races at Le Mans & Spa.

Decision to go with this V60 wagon as our family hauler may not be such a bad shout after all, then? Interior in particular just amazing 🤞
At the end of 1997, the

team had a surprise for driver,
@jasonplato
.
Williams’ Gerry Hughes told us, “We created a car body of his damaged parts from the
#BTCC
season. The body shop put it all together & onto a chassis gurney for us to drop into his garden!”
Quick lunchtime trip up to
@krcircuit
to see
@jclelandracing
shaking down his Vectra. It's been nearly four months since I've used the camera and it shows!😅
Nice one
@DHLParcelUK
! This was literally thrown over my gate despite clear ‘fragile’ labelling! Contents destroyed... No attempt to come to the door or notify me. A kind neighbour saw it and told me. I’m fuming...
Oh & while we're on the subject of Opel... here's the late Russell Brookes' Opel Manta, as spectacularly sideways as ever. Brookes died a year ago this month.

just spent my hard earned cash on this book and you call me a used car dealer from Galashiels!! I actually sell new cars you cheeky git 🤪🤪 great book which brought back memories 👍👍👍
Remembering Will Hoy today, an absolute gent and proper stand up character. Sorely missed and never forgotten.
Same goes for Smithy, we miss them both very much.
