06/01/21 - Separation From Loved Ones . .

Lockdown applying in the Isle of Man again as well as on the 'adjacent Island'. At least WSM208 and 301 are with kindred spirits BXN and WSM202 in Bedfordshire, and the WSM MGB is marooned here with the odd venture over the TT Mountain course when weather permits. Rae Davis (WSM207), Clive Cocks (WSM210), Ian Hulett (WSM401), Lorraine Noble-Thompson (WSM402) and Michael Glore (WSM403) in Mississippi (pictured left) have their WSM's on the doorstep, but Scott Murdoch is stuck in London and WSM405 is in Scotland.

News that with the WSM3000 finished, a trip to see the car's instigator Malcolm Bridgland is on the cards whenever travel restrictions are lifted. It's been 55 years since I was last in the car as a passenger, but looking forward more to seeing Malcolm's reaction. He parted with the car after a couple of years ownership in 1967 and viewed the delapidated survivor at the WSM50 gathering in 2012. Current owner Robert Waterhouse has ensured a complete return to former glory has been achieved . .
