Working but not fully sorted yet, and I don't want to thrash it until it is.

Irene can't make it, I'm bringing a French friend of ours. Are you taking the T350 or the Tamora, or both?!

The Griff is at Austec's at the moment, awaiting a new 5.2 powerplant. Should be ready end of May.

Someone has to keep the business going.
T350.
Will the Griff be run in before going?

September trip, we will have to give it a miss this time, we're still talking about going to Woodwork.

Oh yes; V8D will run it in on their dyno. Then 600 miles home and again 600 miles to Zolder, should be o.k.

Shame you can't make it in Sept, maybe next year.

What's this about a new car with a Sagaris suspension? I thought the plan was to go for a turbo charger?

See you in Heerlen!

Hi Gerjo,
I thought about a supercharger, but I have concerns over heat build up. The three years warranty and new suspension helped make up my mind, and the thought of a new car.

Which I can still supercharge later when the bank balance recovers.......

Half leather will be replaced by full.

I will REALLY miss it this year!

Unfortunately I will be at a "minor French sports car race" instead.

Have fun!

Thanks as ever to all the Dutch TVR Car Club folk for organising another excellent event. Everyone I spoke to seems to have had a good time and the weather was very kind! See you all there next year for the 25th Meeting!! Best regards, Tony Abrams

It looks as though records of the early events have been lost and the organisers want those who went to the early meetings to send them their reminiscences and photos to use.

TA (and son) were there the first year I went (86) along with Terminator, Daftlad and Daftlass, Marty Shaw, Mervyn, Geoff (scimitar->TVR), the Traxtons and others who haven't been recently.

Come on - dredge up those memories.

Indeed a big hand for the organizers. As always, I absolutely loved it! The Le Mans race was a big improvement over de d(r)elay race: our "French" (we had to buy a few fake passports to pull it off) team was unlucky that the first driver got thirsty and decided to head for the bar (pitlane) instead of the checkered flag, because we were absolutely flying.

Loved the Sag, Tony, what a car!
