He also talks about how his long relationship with Vauxhall and General Motors first came about, the cheeky bit of gamesmanship that helped him win the 1989 BTCC, how he feels nowadays about that controversial 1992 title decider, which of his BTCC rivals was the most fun to wind up and the time BTCC chief Alan Gow squared him up for a prank. John also talks about seeing the clear benefits of motorsport to the brands his car dealership sold, the ex-Peter Brock car that he now owns, and why he retired from racing full-time at the end of 1999.
