Mr. Chow, JC is a Volvo dealer - John Cleland Volvo is somewhere on the Scottish border by his home. Rydell and Cleland get on really well together as well so they would be a good pairing.
I think they should all come look at this thread and get some ideas from it

JC has a successfull Volvo dealership in Scotland. I could never understand how he could sell Volvo yet work with Vauxhall.

Why not ? Derek Warwick has a Honda dealership and runs the damned Vauxhall team! (though some could argue that he is only running the team to make Honda look good, but I don't buy into that...!
 )

Good point guys. Ditto for Penske in CART. He is co-owner of Ilmor which builds and maintains the MB CART engines. Yet he has jumped to Honda power for '00.

Regarding 888 - I suppose there is no reason why he can't run Hondas instead of Vauxhall. It just seems weird - I think I will have to ask him how he does it.

I see no problem; all Del Boy's been this year is a panel beater!! 9-5 Monday-Friday type jobbie...
Well, when was the last time you saw three clean 888 Vectras after a race weekend?

Vauxhalls have always had a bit of a reputation - I remember once (before they ran 3 cars) Charlie Cox saying that it wouldn't be a touring car race without a damaged vauxhall...

I seem to remember they were often lacking mirrors as well, as sighted by none other than Murray Walker in 1994:
"There's another wing mirror gone! John Cleland must have the supply contract!" - Donington, Cleland vs. Radisich for the lead of the race. A BTCC car without a bumper? Never......... |

Vauxhall have had a good few bashed panels in their long history in the BTCC, but I think probably Derek Warwick's good work in 1998 was the best I've seen. Cavaliers without their rear bumpers were very common, though, as BBTC said...

DEL BOY!!
Good ol' Derek Warwick. I hate to draw comparisons to ar5eholes, but he's a bit like Schumacher. It was quite alright for Del Boy to go biffing people off the track, but as soon as he got a bit of hisown back, he'd go off and - wait for it - do a Hakkinen and cry in the bushes...
