I had the profound honour of meeting and chatting with D-Day veteran John Quinn in Portsmouth before the ceremonies. I was humbled in his presence. The debt we owe is immeasurable. #DDay75 #LestWeForget

#OnThisDay in ’81 Gilles Villeneuve scored one of his finest victories, muscling his truck-like Ferrari 126CK, turbo lag ’n’ all, through the streets of Monaco to catch & pass the leader, reigning world champion Alan Jones, in his far nimbler Williams FW07C. A Monaco masterclass.

@TheMotoringNews Mustang GT 390s were used in the film.

@tarseytarsey @Tankslider Or perhaps something elegant?

[John Mayston-Taylor @MaystonTaylor]

@tarseytarsey Hope you’re having a great day Paul. Happy memories of competing in sprints at Goodwood.

As before, I'd like to pay tribute to the comedy genius that was Robin Williams who died on this day 6 years ago. Not just a comedian, he was a great dramatic actor too and an all round lovely man. RIP Robin ❤❤❤❤

Remembering the amazing talents of a true racer - Gilles Villeneuve. 🇨🇦 #gillesvilleneuve

@RichSuchet Well mentioned Richard.

@DickieMeaden It could be worse...

@Morris__Bright And of course Monte Carlo or Bust.

[John Mayston-Taylor @MaystonTaylor]

@RichSuchet I do agree Richard. It didn’t happen back in the day.

[John Mayston-Taylor @MaystonTaylor]

#asklemans just to clarify, the reference to 59 on the Brumos Porsche refers to their race number. The team was founded in 1971.

[John Mayston-Taylor @MaystonTaylor]

#asklemans thoroughly enjoying your excellent coverage and commentary watching from Nassau in The Bahamas.
It recalls happy memories having the pleasure and privilege of racing the ex-Yamaha GT40 at the Le Mans Classic. Especially at night on the Mulsanne.

[John Mayston-Taylor @MaystonTaylor]

@AnotherEdFoster @ParkinsonsUK Saddened to hear of your father’s passing Ed. I have many happy memories of Ecurie Ecosse tours in your father’s pleasant and jovial company. Any a very smart E-type I recall.

Remembering the late great comedy King, Eric Morecambe, who died this day 35 years ago. Taken far too early. His legacy of laughter lives in. Here's my favourite funny line
