Spotted both of these today on the A7 outside Galashiels. This afternoon, black mk1, hard top, looked really clean heading towards Gala. Tonight (5 mins ago) mint green mk1, hard top lowered, looked mint (excuse the pun!) Anyone on here?

Who is going to admit being out on the roads without a permit !
Quite… 
Without a permit Nick? I know there’s a letter people need to get from their employer if they are classed as essential workers and have to drive to work, but from what I read you can drive to shop for essential shopping, doctors/hospital appointments etc? Unless I’ve got it wrong?

My remark was tongue in cheek but I think the police would be suspicious that a Mk 1, like my GT6, was more likely to be driving for pleasure than for an essential purpose.

Hehehe, they think its for pleasure as we all smile when driving our 5’s. It’s an uncontrolable reflex with these cars!
Agreed! Even a wee trip up to Tesco’s counts as an excuse as far as I’m concerned 
Maybe instead of speed guns, the cops are going about with smile guns!
