  1. RIP Chris Rea

    He won't be driving home this Christmas and I hope he is not on the road to hell!

  2. Sad news.

    There’s an episode of Mortimer and WHitehouse fishing where he shows up at the pub (Christmas special). As he goes to leave one of them asks if he’s driving home - he just gives them the finger and walks off!!!

    IIRC he also did a bit of F1 pit crew work?
     
  3. He was a real car bloke.
    Didn't he have a replicar Mercedes Silver Arrow GP car built?

  7. As an aside and bit of trivia the Crathorne Arms is owned by a guy called Eugene McCoy who is Maimie/Mary McCoy's father - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maimie_McCoy

    The restaurant there is excellent too :)
     
  8. Best song he ever sang -at least that I heard. RIP
