We certainly plan to be there.

Thanks

I won’t be in my 75, depending on weather it will either be the TF or the Abarth

Excellent, looking forward to seeing either.
I will probably be in the ZS

Hello Simon and All, hope you are all doing well and enjoying your Summers.

Little bit of an update: My 75 is still having its annual service, even though I sent it in a month ago to have it done while I was on holiday. The last thing we're waiting for is the new backplates to finally arrive, and only then will we be able to have a go at fitting the R50 Mini compensator (very kindly supplied by Arctic). I doubt they'll arrive before Wednesday at the earliest, so there's a very good chance it won't be ready in time for the meet.
I'll liaise with the garage once the backplates arrive and assess whether we can fix it in time and, if not, whether the car will be safe to drive to Gretna and back (well over 300 miles in total!).

I remember the first post said "let's have a bit of variety", so just in case the 75 isn't ready or safe, would it be all right if I turned up in my new project? Mind you, at this rate there will be almost no 75s or ZTs present!

Simon, I can’t go this time, I lost my mum on August 2nd, so I can’t go with Brian this time due to what’s happened.

Would you be travelling on the morning of the meet? I will be passing by, but on the day before the meet since I will be coming from North Perthshire.
