No, we've not died and yes, this event is absolutely still happening - in fact it's because of some of the things we've got planned that you've heard nothing. It's going to be bigger and better than we ever thought, but we don't want to make announcements on events and things happening until we're 100% sure they're on. We're pretty much there now, but we never realised there was quite so much red tape when we set out to do this. The police are happy, the local authorities are happy, Prodrive are happy - in fact everybody's pretty much happy!

The stickers have been delivered and will go on sale shortly. We had some hassle with bank accounts that aren't worth explaining, but should now be sorted out now. The clothing continues to progress, but we got approval to include something else on the clothing which was too good to turn down and we're absolutely certain everybody will be delighted with (it's a secret for now!) That has delayed things a little on the clothing front, but we want to make sure we get this absolutely spot on. We're not going to rush things and nothing will go on sale until we're totally happy with what's on offer and the quality of the items. 

I can say that as of today we have 335 people registered interest in this event from all over the UK and beyond - we've even had contact from Scooby drivers in Luxembourg who want to take part! Information on the event is currently being translated into other languages for publication on other European Club websites to make this a truly international event.

Sorry we're still not revealing much, but until those final i's are dotted and t's crossed and we're totally happy with everything, we can't. Once we can reveal what's happening, trust me - you will NOT be disappointed!

More soon
