That's a very kind offer Anna, any and all help is very welcome.

Dave has said he is willing to do from Newcastle down to Scarborough, I will be joining him on route at Guisborough on the A171 then on to Hull/Grimsby.

If no-one else comes forward for the Lincolnshire leg from Hull/Grimsby to Boston then I'll complete that leg too, but I'd rather other members had the chance to participate.

Anyone interested in either the Edinburgh to Newcastle or the Hull/Grimsby to Boston leg?

Please use the following script for any press releases you issue in relation to this event

Happy Birthday Rover 75: Owners Club stage 10th Anniversary Round Britain Relay

In 1999 the Rover 75 was launched to an expectant UK car buying public, eager to see the car that Rover described as “the car we had to make”.

10 Years on, the marque has all but disappeared, however, a growing number of enthusiasts assembled under the banner of the Rover 75 & ZT Owners Club®, are determined to ensure that this formidable modern classic is preserved and promoted for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.

Members of the Owners Club are staging a Round Britain Relay to commemorate and celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Rover 75. The event, which will cover over 2000 miles in 48 hours will start from the former Rover factory at Cowley, at 6.00 pm on 19th June and traverse the UK in 11 stages, finishing at the former MG Rover Group Ltd Longbridge plant, the home of the Rover 75 and MG ZT until the company closed in April 2005

The stages are split in to sections and participating drivers will use the Owners Club mascot “Fred the Ted” as the relay’s “Baton”. Progress will be monitored in real-time using GPRS/GPS technology and be visible on the Owners Club web site.

“Our aims are to promote the 75 & ZT Owners Club, raise awareness of two great British cars and have a lot of fun doing it”, says Andrew Garcarz, the Event Organiser.

Hi. There is the Scottish Mini Meet this Sunday at Thirlestane Castle. A couple of the members attending are Edinburgh based so Scooterchick and I will be trying to persuade them to get involved in the relay. As I think we have Perth to Edinburgh covered then hopefully one or two might be happy to take Edinburgh to the Borders or even down to Newcastle!

However, we have first dibs on them to make sure we have all the legs covered

Any more members happy to cover this leg?
