Well, mine partly consists of sticky tape at the moment (rear window) and the window end stops need adjusting before they'll seal with it anyway. Haven't taken it out in the rain for any significant length of time - I'm slightly worried it might be just enough to trap any water ingress, but not enough to keep it out in the first place!

If you're missing creature comforts I might selflessly offer to do the decent thing and swap it for your 2-Eleven...

If it pours down whilst we're there I may well be tempted!

I'll be there then Gents... Need to get to work on my engine bay as it's getting pretty dirty.

Don't get too excited hehe it's still an untouched 3.2 block, just remapped and carbon fibre intake. It's amazing how these GTA's aren't really pushed at all in standard form.

Indeed, I worked for Alfa Romeo for 8 years so seen a fair few of these. Brilliant cars

Cheers buddy. I will be out with the wire brush and wire wool this weekend cleaning out that engine bay

[Chris71]

Hmm, forecast looks hopeful! Might actually make it this time.

I've got the unenviable task of running in the 2-Eleven over the next couple of days so I'm hoping that we have lots of good weather as my daily commute is over 70 miles!!

Just wear a dry suit and drill some holes in the floor.

See the 3R has sold now ben. The guy is on here also. posted up in the noble forum. maybe get him along to a future meet as he essex based also..

[Chris71]

I have a woeful sense of direction - I took the car out around the SWF area last week in search of any decent roads and half hoping to locate The Lodge. Never did - I presume if I go down to South Woodham Ferrers and then head towards Wickford on the A132 I'll notice it?

I'll keep an eye out for any interesting cars. Obviously this may be an issue if there are any petrolheads driving in the opposite direction, so please keep an eye out for a lost looking bloke in a blue TVR.

[L100NYY]

Very easy to find Chris, where is it that you are heading from?

[Mattt]

It's easy - there's a load of flags opposite the turning - think there's a weighbridge and caravan park down that road. There's a sheltered right turn section - and the entrance has brick walls either side.

As for good roads, head out the other side of Woodham - and keep going
