Last month, I revealed to the world my inner anguish about not being able to find the woman Alex Salmond fed a Solero to in 1999.
I asked for your help – and you responded.
More than 100 of you sent me tips, advice, or just sincere best wishes as I set out on my quest to find Alex Salmond's Solero Lady.
Some of you were helpful, and some of you weren't – like this dreadful bastard who told me he'd found her only to reveal he was taking the piss.
I now have to tell you some bad news: Despite an extensive and truly global search, I haven't been able to contact Alex Salmond's Solero Lady.
I have spoken with a man who knows her brother, but it seems she has (quite rightly) decided against the idea of being interviewed by me.
I also understand Salmond himself was asked to help with the search, but he just "laughed and shrugged his shoulders".
