After his last race with the JRDS, Graham dreamed of staying on in Norfolk and
working for Lotus. This never happened as the mechanics at the race school put
Graham off the idea. Instead he returned home and joined the Fire Service. After his
training was over Graham had saved up enough money for the deposit on a Clan
Crusader. At a local party he met members of Lanarkshire Car Club and was soon
persuaded to start Navigational rallies. Graham and his navigator, Kenny Allan
did a few events in the Clan before buying a Singer Chamois sport that the used in
road rallies before converting it to a stage rally car.The team did as many events
in the Scottish Rally Championship in 1976 and 1977 as they could afford. They also
discovered the best rally in the world, The Tour of Mull. The love affair with
Mull would run for a very long time.
