Light Blue 'S' in M&S Hedge End Saturday, heard you before I saw you Wanted to jump in the Chimaera quickly and fire her up to see if I could catch your attention but the misses was too slow.

Silver Chimaera going taga in the snow at Wickham Sunday (bleedin' loud too) was in the tin top coming the other way (did you see me? )

you should have popped around for a cuppa Mark since you were at M & S - my place is 30 seconds drive from there.

The silver chim was probably mark_TVRloud. M***LOB - he has the same exhaust as mine - rather loud he lives not far away and often around wickham.

Phil, if I knew where you lived I would have done mate. Can't stand blody M&S at the best of times.

I said to Jo it may have been Mark.

Mark - will mail you my address for future reference. If it means you can be left in peace whilst she does the shopping then its a result.

Danny - saw those pipes on a chim parked next to me on the Bournemouth run the other week - took a couple of snaps as I like the look of them. Bit expensive for purely cosmetic touch though - think I'll stick with what i've got. To be honest mate, my car is so original (aside from the exhaust ) that I am loathe to alter it at all, even with things I like such as the headlight conversion and the push starter button. Just feel guilty when its so mint and 10 years old...

The money saved though is going into a fund for when your old man gets sick of the Tuscan

Saw a burgundy Griff with red roof at M&S around the same time - anyone on here?

I live just up the road too - gotta love those roundabouts

only problem being the lane discipline of numpties that dont allow for anyone to be in the outside lane. As you get to the roundabout you know you will have to ease off and allow them the room to cut across simply because they are in a world of their own. And if they did sideswipe you, you can just tell they would think it was your fault for "overtaking"

I am in Grange Park BTW Cuzza.

I was all over Hampshire this weekend and I still didnt get spotted.
With such a rare and unique car Im surprised.

Perhaps the GL badge needs a polish

Still to be confirmed, I post here nearer the time.
I'll need to check one out next week and then get it into April's Sprint.
Any suggestions? - Red Lion at Chalton is in the Good Beer Guide.

Don't get me started on that one Doesn't help that the roundabouts aren't lane-marked but it shows a general lack of awareness

I'm in Grange Park too, for my sins - we met at the Meon Hut/Seven Stars do, right?

Red Lion is a lovely pub, very busy on a Sunday (what day were you thinking of?), it's been a while since I have been up there but if memory serves the carpark might be a bit tight/steep for the low cars - might need a visit first.

I'm at the other end of Maunsell Way almost next to Toll Bar Way. Do you know who owns the rather nice blue Tamora I keep seeing/hearing around??

BTW how did the film of the top of mungos head turn out?

got some good still pics of the bald patch

The blue Tamora is Dicky www.pistonheads.com/members/showprofile.asp?memberId=95

Talk about home from home, he lives so close to me and then camps next door at le mans

also just around the corner (and drinks in the shamblehurst with me) is another PHer,

very odd going to my local in a PH T-shirt to start chatting at the bar to another member without knowing.
