Date of First Registration!
Is the Round Britain Run still on the cards, Steve?
The Scottish Government has given a date in early August for coming out of the legal restrictions

I'm booked with the Dolomega on the RBRR with Mahesh and my neighbour Les, the same crew as we ran in 2018, departing Knebworth (god and covid willing) on Friday 2nd October, so we should be in your neck of the woods around 7am on the 3rd. Failure is not an option!
I was saddened to learn however that there will be no TDCIR again this year. I was hoping to bring a bit of silver home for best modified and incidentally put a few miles on the beast before the big day. To date it has only covered about 300 yards under it's own power since 1994. It stops, starts, runs, drives and changes gear, and has been run reguarly since first start over a year ago, the battery has been connected continuously since first start, and hasn't needed charging once since, nor has it ever failed to start first turn, so i'm cautiously optimistic.
Though I have previous for taking untested cars on 1000+ mile journeys (3 days after I finished the resto and 2 days after it's first MOT, I took my GT6 convertible to the international Spitfire Weekend in Arcen, Holland. It got there and back in one piece but not entirely without incident) I'd rather not be forced into a similar situation again. So i'd like at least a month or so of testing and debugging including at least one 100+ mile trip in one go, as it were, before I take on 2000+ miles in 48 hours.
