Spend a lot of time cleaning but a lot more driving, 39000 miles racked up already so it wears the battle scars. Will probably be on the gate if you come to Shuttleworth tommorow so will look out for you and make sure I send you on the dirtiest (sorry cleanest) route.

A British affair includes very British summer weather of course. It's hurling down in Oxfordshire.

Prospects for tomorrow...more of the same!! But we'll still enjoy ourselves!

That's the spirit. I believe that although there may be some rain in the morning, it is scheduled to clear and then carry on through Sunday .

There's lots of undercover area if needed, so we should be okay

[extremekiter]

Ok Kev. Thanks mate lookin forward to it. See ya tom am

Cheers again all

Hi Mal. Just checking my old banger out for trip down tonight and find oil cooler is split. Sadly unless I can find anyone with a spare tonight (and I am trying) I am going to have to cancel my visit tomorrow. I hope this hasn,t caused you too much trouble, I was a TVRCC for 20 years so I know how last minute no shows can be a pain. If you can find anyone to make up the numbers for the photoshoot please do so and if I manage to get down and place taken my tough luck. So dissapointed, was really looking forward to this event, dont you love TVR,s but I suppose its lucky it didn,t do it at Classic Le Mans. Have a good weekend and who knows we may still make it. sTeVeR

Steve,

Sorry to hear that I was looking forward to seeing your car again (saw it at Rockingham last year) hope you make it, I will hold the space open til about 12.30 and then see if anyone wants it if you havent made it.

Thanks to Zoe and her team for a grest weekend at the inaugural BSG. A lot of time and effort went into this event and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even got Hilary to camp Saturday night.
Everyone who stayed for the evening seemed to enjoy the Bar B Q and the 2 bands.

Thanks again for a wonderful weekend.

Met lots of old and new faces.

Maybe we can do it again if this has not completely drained you.

Good event. Really enjoyed it. Thanks to the organisers and also cheers Steve for the loan of the mallet.

I must also confess. I was one of the snoring chorus! Zzzzzz

Fantastic weekend. Great cars, great event, great venue, great airshow & great company. Certainly one of the best TVRCC events we've been to!

Someone said it rained, but I can't remember it now there were way too many great things to do & see and some great people to chat to.

Looking forward to the next one

Yep agree....people like you guys is what keeps the TVR dream alive! Sounds chessy but its true!!

Thank you and well done, i only stayed Saturday for 3 hours as i had to get back to Norfolk for the evening but loved the drive there and back with plenty of peeps taking photos of the Sag on the journey and thumbs up from loads of drivers, love it, the day itself at your event was great fun. I really enjoyed myself.

Nice to meet Kev too at the gate. Car is yet to be cleaned m8. That will take me a good 6 hours!!! Gotta be done properly!!!!

Thanks you again all.

Glad you had a good time, thanks for making the effort to come across for the few hours you had spare.
It was good to meet you and must say the Sag looked good despite the conditions, shouldnt take too long to have it looking immaculate again.

Justyn, was it you I followed to the A1 yesterday? I was coming back from my Dads and caught the tail end of a TVR convoy through Old Waren, all turning off apart from you - I was in the silver T350.

[extremekiter]

Yes it defos was. I went straight over roundabout to Sainsburys petrol station!!!! I had a Tamora in front of me. Yes its was me. Did you go right at the roundabout?

That little convoy was fun, just a pity i had to get fuel really would have loved to have gone for the blast with you guys!! but had 3 ltrs left.

and thanks very much to the gent who allowed my little one to "drive" the TVR racing car!

We had a great day on Saturday too, amazingly lucky with the weather considering the rain we drove through on the way up there at lunchtime.

Many thanks to all those involved in organising it, fab day out. The edwardian boxkite etc. and giant pelicans (in the birds of prey display) were definate highlights!

Just wanted to say that despite the weather I thought “A British Affair” was a great success..
I wanted to know how many cars turned up. Looking forward to next year.....

[ncs]

From what I understand there were about 200 cars on the Saturday.

I'm sure all the details will be posted in September, when all the information has been pulled together. Seemed more than 200 to me, but I don't really have much of a clue when it comes to stuff like that! Plus I was tucked away in my cosy Gazebo chattering most of the time .

Overall, I thought it was a huge success too though. The weather made it's own contribution to ensure it was a truly 'British Affair' didn't it! However, it also brought out the best in TVR folk, who arrived nonetheless! Much like the cars - their owners are a breed apart!
