Pulled out of Baldock services in the Chim at just the right time today! Spoke to a nice chap filling up at the pumps who is picking up his new TVR tomorrow, congratulations on your purchase sir and sorry I didn't catch your name! Then pulled alongside I believe Andrew in his grey Lambo with 'boss bull' plate going under the A1? That was bloody brilliant going through the tunnel! Put such a smile on my face and what a noise!

That's actually a kit car. Fiesta underpinnings. You can tell by the aftermarket wing

How is it Steve? Good to be back in the saddle again? I bet driving it in the rain brought back some nasty memories of the last one! biggrin

Absolutely awesome thank you, in many ways it feels better than my previous 450.
She's also a lot louder and with pops/bangs laugh

Very scary drive, but was fine in reality. Hoping to be at a couple of car shows this weekend, Buntingford tomorrow and Lilley Sunday.

I should be there as long as it's not throwing it down! Trying to avoid rainy driving while I'm building my confidence back up.
Hopefully see you tomorrow.

teacher I distinctly remember calling a spot after I saw you driving in to MK one day....

Have been practising the pop and bang technique smile

As an aside, and I'll stop spamming this thread afterwards, what time is the Lilley show tomorrow? Website doesn't seem to mention it.
