That was pretty much my take on it but thought the more that register interest the more chance of someone taking the lead and saying yes I'll make it happen. It's just unfortunate that I have so little time left with the V8 on the road although I could always come in the Tomcat, it's just a little noisy for such a long trip. While I'm keeping the 1.8T as a daily, I have lost all faith in her, she has a lot of ground to make up before she comes to shows and meets again!

I’d to pay a deposit which the people refused to refund so I said I’d use it at some point. He phoned yesterday asking if I was booking in !! Told him there are no meets yet but he wasn’t caring. Asked him if he’d be keeping my money and it was a yes

It wouldn’t be the first time a Tomcat had attended the Gretna meet

The last sold ordered 75 Tourer. Paid for by the Phoenix Four and handed over by John Towers to the Warwickshire Northampton Air ambulance service as a Rapid Response vehicle

I stand corrected and how strange, I've known it closed for snow but been going across there for the best part of 35years and never been unlucky enough to be stopped by it myself.

Can't have more than a few people gathering due to restrictions imposed by Scottish parliament, so no point having the meet just yet
That's my take on the situation
