Elvington bans TVRs.
Discussion
I had an airfield day booked next Friday, but cancelled due to -
Our venue has just passed over the new noise restrictions for 2007. There is also a list of a couple of vehicles that are now considered too noisy for the venue and unfortunately TVR is one of them!
Bloody jobsworths, should get a convoy up to parade around around the village, it's an airfield for f***s sake!!

It's their venue - they can ban whatever they like.
Hmmm... I've only had an hour or so at the helm of my Chimaera so far, but it's definitely more tranquil at full chat than the modified Saab which makes tunnels reverberate even when doing 30 mph in fourth on a steady throttle (and never had a problem on track days even at Zolder where you get a transponder in the car so they know which car to black-flag for being too noisy).

Hmmm.... Elvington Thunder 2007, yes I definately like the sound of that. Just wait till I get the De-Cat pipes sorted - Already on 108Db, should be able to push it to the teens after a visit to my good friends bespoke exhaust place 
I registered 124,5DB at BNG last year - when the car did a DIY de-cat, so between us we should make a little bit of noise
