Interesting... eek pleased I filled up in Guisborough at the weekend.

Aye, so did I... thirsty though aren't they!? smile

I've been running on fumes...limped back to Guisborough thinking I'd go to the BP garage for some super...only to find it's an effin Jet garage now! smile

It's had to have £15 of regular to get me to work tomorrow.. I'll stop and fill up with Tesco 99 on the way home tomorrow.

Yours was looking really well on Sunday when I passed you. See ya around, there's a couple of us from Guisborough going to the Malton meet over Easter... no doubt see you there

No V-Power in Okehampton today.

No chance to add to the collection of Ferrari glasses either!

PS - I know this is the NE forum - but thought it might be relevant that the other side of the country had none either!

Just gone to fill my TVR up in Darlington and no V Power at all. Asked the guy behind the counter and he says that there is a national shortage and does not know when they are expecting any.

Not good news!!

No Tesco 99 either, I agree the total 97 stuff is crap and expensive too.

Still no VPOWER!! Asked a guy at a Shell station yesterday what was happening. Said that none has been made and has run out. He said it could be another two to three weeks before it becomes more readily available.

Does anyone else know any different?
