The Scottish Auto-Solo Driving Tests will take place on the afternoon of Saturday, 17th October by courtesy of the Melville Motor Club of Scotland.  The event is open to all road-going cars that are  eligible for Driving Membership of the VSCC. The driving test are devised by Martin Jelley and his team and will follow the same format as at previous Club events at Peterborough 2014 and VSCC Oulton Park earlier this year. Preliminary Regulations are available from either Andy Halstead at the Club Office or from Martin Jelley direct.
 
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AUTOSOLO WILL TAKE PLACE AT EAST FORTUNE RACE CIRCUIT, HADDINGTON, EAST LOTHIAN, EH39 5JZ (NOT THE PHILIPBURN COUNTRY HOTEL NR SELKIRK AS INCORRECTLY PRINTED IN SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER)

THESE WILL BE FOLLOWED BY FILM SCREENING AND THE ANNUAL SCOTTISH DINNER AT THE ROCKS RESTAURANT & HOTEL IN DUNBAR, EH42 1AR (SEE BELOW)

Auto-Solo driving tests were devised by the MSA to exclude any use of reverse gear so cars of all sizes and lengths, be they open or saloons, and are suitable to drivers of all ages and skeletal flexibility!
 
Courtesy to the local neighbours is very important, particularly over engine noise, and the Organisers reserve the right to decline entry if it is deemed that excessive noise will damage the good relationship between the Melville Motor Club and the residents in the nearby village.  
 
The driving tests are the central part of a "Club Day" in Scotland, which includes visits to the adjacent National Museum of Flight, by courtesy of the National Museum of Flight, and the Myreton Motor Museum, by courtesy of the Proprietor, to be followed by the Scottish Annual Dinner at "The Rocks" Hotel & Restaurant in historic Dunbar, which overlooks the remains of Dunbar Castle, where Mary Queen of Scots was held captive in 1567.
 
David Biggins is hoping to show his film "A Sicilian Dream" on the Targa Floria in the early evening before Dinner, and then tell us about making his film after Dinner.
