Never forget watching the 1990 Classic TT on the IOM during our recce for the Manx rally with Colin , and he reckoned the bike riders were nutters

Pat Hasler:
Colin McRae by the way was a real gentleman of the sport and not in any way big headed or a show off. He was among the very few I actually admired RIP
Indeed he was Pat ,and whilst doing his best to destroy various cars he was always the first man with a sledge hammer trying to make them roadworthy for one last time . Ultimate respect to the man ,a genius behind the wheel .
The guy may not be famous but he should be! once at Tescos at Weybridge and a truck pulled up next to me.The driver ,a scotchman asks me where the toilet is as he is in desperate need of a crap.I tell him that its closed.He runs over to the office block and walks in.Some tow rag security man tells him that “these offices and toilets are for Tesco staff only”
After a bit of a caffufle the jock walks out and craps on the steps,the police are called and the real gem is that old plod sided with the scotchman!!
I met Neil Armstrong once, well when I say met I mean I was in a room he was in along with hundreds of other people.
But in my head it was a ‘meeting’, and he did well driving that tin can all the way to the Moon and back.
