Phoenix rise to the challenge...


It's 08.30 on a damp Tuesday morning and here I am standing in the lush surroundings of Glenbervie golf course ready to make the Phoenix rise once again!

It is that time of year when the rotary club have their annual charity golf event that we have won before and are determined to do so again.

Fuelled by a bacon butty and coffee, we are ready for the challenge!

Then “BOOM” the rain stops, the shotgun fires and the sparks fly off the first tee...

Here we go!

Right from the off the team gelled and we knew we were going to mount a serious challenge each of us holding our own and then to our amazement Robert Gillespie scores a one at the par three, we are on a roll! Then captain fantastic (ME) got an eagle on a par four!!! We are now flying and know we are in with a right good chance of taking the trophy.

The round ends we tally up our scores and have all played a monumental part in the event.

The awards ceremony begins and in traditional style 3rd place is announced and it isn’t us, 2nd place is announced and again no Phoenix. We are anxiously awaiting to find out who is victorious.

Then the words “in first place and this years champions are.... Team Phoenix Honda” is announced to a rapturous applause by the other 17 participating teams.

Champions again so roll on next year! (No pressure for the future triple winners)

No other motorsport event can boast more than 100 years of such illustrious history...


For 2 days last week, our Senior Sales Executive at Phoenix Honda Gragemouth, John McLain found himself in the presence of some biking legends, at the Isle of Man TT.

There is nothing on Earth quite like the Isle of Man TT Races. No other motorcycle race is held on such a challenging track as the 37-mile plus Mountain Course with its seemingly never-ending series of bends, bumps, jumps, stone walls, manhole covers and telegraph poles.

The skill, bravery and concentration levels required are immense, with speeds approaching 200mph, and, while difficult to learn and even harder to come first, the rewards for winning on the world famous course are like no other.

"I went over from Liverpool as a foot passenger and toured the island by bus! Watched the qualifying session from brae hill.. and they are a lot faster than on the tv! The noise is spectacular to. Thanks to Graham Foster Vigour's for the pit tour, will be going next year 100%"
