Quality guys...!

My first TVR outing, met some good people and had an excellent time despite the weather...

My only regret is not getting on the track more than once...

I think watching the 2 little kisses with the barriers put me off a bit...
an extra 1 foot of run off on both and it would have been all good.

GB, Would'nt mind seeing more pics of the Black 06 Tuscan S if you got any.
My camera died early on in the day.... Also, you got a sweet sounding TVR man....

would you prefer 'on track' or 'on grass'



haha.... yeah had a little visit to the grass also... all part of the fun.

any shots that look a bit dramatic would be excellent... I think the grass would especially qualify....

many thanks Ian... (should I forward my email if that would be easier..?)

lee'burn'

Have got a variety of shots, including the 'on grass' spin. so let me know your email address and I will send you a few Hi res versions. saves me deleting the number plate as well!

Starting to think I should be charging here!

Hi Guys
Great to meet up with all, hope to meet up again at Knockhill on one of the SIDC days.
TVRCC are intending a track day next year at Knockhill which means we are canvassing for numbers to convince them to make the trip North, so very encouraging to see so many cars out on track. If we get the Track Day sorted then hopefully we can also bring the TVR racing back to Scotland. If interested Andy Race is organiser and would welcome hearing from all who fancy a blast around one of the best tracks in the UK for little more than a tank of fuel.
Excellent day, thanks to you all.
Ian do you have a pic just to prove to missus I was careful with her car

Hi Jes,

Was your car the dark red tamora? if so I do have some pictures for you. not sure you would want to show them to your wife if it is her car, as I caught your spin with Dave Bruce in the car on camera!

Hi Ian
Yes that's the one, so long as I didn't hit anything its fine, presume Dave was still grinning!

Definetely still grinning, although I think he may have almost lost the camera a couple of times!

Thats some loading you managed on the suspension out of those corners!

A friend of mine, also at the day was on the way home in a purple Triupmh GT6, says you shot past him like a ballistic misslie on the way home!

Have got some pretty good pictures of some of the cars on the track day yesterday (not all), a few samples for you.

If anyone wants some original images let me know and I will email them.



Apart from the weather, and the slight prang 'ahem' with the barrier, a good day had by all!

Managed to get a couple, hard car to keep up with! by the way i am glad your doors held out, as we thought Northo was going to come flying out on some of the corners!

Many Thanks Ian,
Finally something wothwhile for the desktop wallpaper. Aye the doors can be alarming, no problem if they slam on your fingers though.

Cheers Ian, no bad pics here, well done. Just bedding the Nitrons in and definite improvement to stock units next need a CR box to give a smoother run through corners, the GT6 passing was just keeping up with Dave in his tidy S, never did more than 60 honest, guv.

Anyone fancy a blast around Knockhill Friday evening believe there is an Alfa evening from 6-8, cost about £60

Biker....You were at Alford on Sunday weren't you?
Me.......Yeah!
Biker....Well...you car looks cleaner than it did then!!!

Infamy..sweet infamy!!!

Martin
He was obviously trying to keep your attention focused on other things other than driving so he could bu&&er off safely without danger to him after he witnessed your driving at Alford.
Cheers Trev

Some insightful and helpful comments there Trev & thanks Ian. Maybe I have found my 'calling'

[jerwatt]

There's a few pictures of various TVRs and the Noble and Caterham. Thanks to all the owners for being so nice and willing to spend time with others chatting about your cars. I'm now planning how to buy a Sagaris as soon as possible!

Here's a few more.
