Pity IRV only has a daughter (who, apparently, is not into racing), Irvine Jr. would come in handy now. Cool, thanks for sharing the story with us!

One of my colleagues had written that he'd heard Irv was too fat to fit in his car. Irv took a poor view. It just so happened that I was sitting in the Jag tent (at a test in Valencia) having a coffee with a photographer when Irv and his trainer sat down with us. Irv was carrying a copy of the mag in which the allegations had been published, and he left no stone unturned in his description of the shortcomings of the magazine and its staff. I thought I should stand up for editorial integrity. He turned the air blue. In hindsight it was quite funny. He said: "Who the f--k are you? I don't see your name in this piece of s--t." I pointed out that the first 12 pages of feature copy in the very issue he happened to be shaking at me furiously carried my byline. "Oh, so you just write the a--e-kissing s---e, do you?" Very, very angry man. He was definitely a character. It wasn’t me, Guv, honest. One of my colleagues had written that he’d heard Irv was too fat to fit in his car.
