..the rear screen drops down with no resistance
..you can drive with the top off & no jacket
..BMW drivers have the roof up biggrin

The only point of this thread is to share the utter joy of taking the TVR out on a day like today

16 years old & still as pretty as a picture




Just when I was thinking I was the coolest kid on the block biggrin




160 noisy miles later:




20 years of TVR ownership & it's still special, isn't it?

Did someone say St.Albans?! Hi Steve, all well? I'm not yet back in a TVR, but still looking and pondering...

A recent experience really opened my eyes up to how life can be destroyed in an instant. Day like today, and days like you've had really need to be treasured and long may they continue for us all.

Good find! Flasher I presume? Looks better on that than on my elephant (grey Touareg)! Mind you, I just had a peek at some TVR's in the classifieds and realised I'll be in the elephant for the foreseeable future - the prices are astronomical! I should have kept my last one! Considering how many you've had, I'm surprised to see you still in the same Chim. No plans to change?

Father in law who ws super fit and super healthy diagnosed with a brain tumour in November died in june... All at 54

When something like that happens it really changes your aspect on life, we are lucky to experience this amazing world (minus the minority trying to distroy it for us all) days like today and pictures like yours should be treasured.

I'm hoping for the eqivilant tomorrow with 2 of the 3 loves of my life, the Tuscan and the dog off to the Suffolk coast for the day and will no doubt end with a pint of the finest local ale.

Nope, this one is a keeper! 12 years and counting. The Griff with your plate on was in my care for a short while. Them Touaregs are indeed huge! I'll keep my eyes open for you whilst having a beer at the Beech House thumbup
