And Jimmy, don't forget Jimmy.
Everyone knows Colin, 'cos he wone a WRC title. However, Jimmy was
arguably the better driver of the two.

Jimmy was a handy circuit racer as well. I saw him winning in a Chevette HSR
at Ingliston many years ago. Overtook the leader sideways around the last
corner to win the race.
He's orignally a Scramble rider as they were called back then.
So was Colin - that's where the balance comes from - or so I'm told by those
who know the family.

My father has a story about being out for a blat in deepest Lanarkshire,
being overtaken by, and completely failing to keep up with, a diesel
astramax/maestro or somesuch with ladders on the roof and IIRC some sort
of Tradesman livery. Rumour has it, it was a McRae.

Jock and Drew both know him personally - both reckon he's crap and aren't
slow in telling him. :-)

True. I was just waiting for ken to correct me that RAC was a sponsor,
not a driver (but we know better don't we children).
