    Has started

    I am on the train to Stow.  Apparently if I knock three times on the yellow door I will be given the keys to a yaris

    Then I head for Halifax where I have to put the keys through the correct letter box and make a discreet exit

    Nice!!

    Where’s Stow? Stow-on-the-Wolds? That’s a long way from Scotlandshire, if it is!

    It’s like the opening of ‘The Transporter’, with TJ playing Jason Statham. My money’s on there being a kidnap victim tied up in the boot. 🙂

    It could be andrewh!

    Thankyou to everyone for doing all this.

    I have my own mini journey this morning too, riding Lyanda’s electric wheelchair about a mile and a half to its new home. Feeling emotional about it, letting something significant of hers go. But i think it’s going to the right person, and definitely something she would have wanted.

    This needs live tracking… evidence of Ginster comsumption and Magic Tree placements

    Apparently Danny Boyle is doing a film called Yarisspotting….

    Well done Tj and the team….

    In a lay-by south of Selkirk.   Refuelling with a “breakfast pie” and a can of irn bru

    Autumn mists and mellow fruitfulness all around.   Gonna be a good day

    This whole story has really touched me and, I think, numerous others.

    Bloody good effort, all!! 👍

    I’ve missed the back-story to this (have had to work FFS) but sounds like a fantastic STW story.

    I hope TJ is insured 🙂

    Good effort to all involved.

    I like the idea of a live tracker and somebody else racing them to the final destination on a brompton/train/coach ala Top Gear 🙂

    I think TJ just passed us near Carlisle. He was speeding and swigging from a can of Special Brew.

    And put some clothes on, for God’s sake!

    Damn it tj. If I’d been on the case you could have stopped in hawick for real cuppa and a cake. I’d even have put the dog in a different room. 😃

    Good luck.

    All those pasties pies and irn bru – the suspension on that Yaris is going to be suffering something terrible.

    Well done to all involved.
    It’s good to be reminded that people can (and will) do nice things for no other reason than it’s the right thing to do.

    Mixed emotions from MrsH this morning, very sad to see Little Yaris go after such a long time, got very fond of it, been to all kinds of places with it, but also pleased to know it’s going to get a refurb and a new lease of life. And a new name apparently, we’ve always just called it ‘Little Yaris’ but Gnusmobile does sound good.
