Y-piece pr0n. Only issue with something like that is that it makes the rest of the engine bay look a bit down-trodden!!

Hehe, yes. I'm going to have to buy more shiny bits!

The bonnet should be closed between oil level checks.
TVRs are for driving, not gawping at with a silly look on your face.

Hahah no parked in a tunnel might have done a quick power spin to turn it round

Found a seat belt cover (I think) stuck onto a piece of machinery in a quarry near Guilford, belongs to a cerb owner apparently. Can't get much more random than that...

Still random.

During the Roar 08 treasure hunt.

I know it can be tricky to get the air out of the cooling system, but that's overthinking it...

Quiet like this one taken by one of the young car spotters at Ypres Esplanada the other month :-

If my memory serves me right these were the Barnet Motor Co. racing colours.
Suit the car so well, Gerry would have been proud. One of the most frightening drives of my life was in a MK1 Cortina GT up the high street with Gerry calmly winding through the traffic with just one hand on the wheel, I was very pale!

Thats an interesting factoid. Cheers. I know Martin Lilley liked Regal red and Silver on his Tuscan, I haven't seen any colour photos of MMT. This one is painted GTS red with moon dust silver. I wanted a more Burgundy shade compared to a vibrant red. I think it looks more period.
I race a Griffy 400. I chose this car entirely because of Gerry. Always was and always will be my hero.
N.

A much unsung name in the history of TVR. He probably did more to keep it going at times than ML or PW.

Bought his Griff while getting drunk at my sister's wedding and have numerous experiences over the years of driving lessons, wild tales and long days in pubs. Very sadly missed. My father was with him when he drove his first racing car and was with him at Silverstone in the Camaro. A genuine legend.

All of that ultimately led to this last weekend:

I've always been confused by tyres like these. They are obviously asymmetric, but not directional, even though the tread design is directional - weird. The new R888 are the same.

I thought they had sent 4 for 1 side when I bought my rainsport 3's.
I can honestly say ive never felt as save on any other tyre. Superb in the wet and dry.

Good to hear - but it makes a mockery of directional tyres.

If I wanted to fit asymmetrics this is what I'd do - AD05 and AD06
