On celebrity antiques hunt,they're driving a Trident née TVR.
A bit ugly,no wonder it flopped.
Very rare car, which version of the car was it?A bit ugly,no wonder it flopped.
it sold as a TVR Trident, Trident clipper, venturer or tycoon.
If it was actually the TVR version they only made 4 of them!
Didn't see the beginning to hear what it was described as.
It was red.

The idea sort of carried over into the Tasmin, UIAVMM.
The Name Dropping Dept.
The chap I bought the RS2 from off of from, restored a - or possibly the - Trident convertible. There are pics of it about; it's pale blue.
I wonder what Maserati had to say about the use of the name Trident?
By the bye, the Old Bill are in my mind because I've started to receive emails from an outfit calling themselves Police Resettlement Expo asking 'Have you left or are you looking to leave the Police Force?'
Really? Me? What are the odds of successfully cold calling someone with a specification that narrow?

Big day today. Hoping to further the cause. Most days are big days.
Typical chat:
Me: good weekend Steve what did you get up to?
Steve: not much. Watched football, went round my nans, went to Aldi. You?
Me: oh same. Not much *
(= stripped off weatherboarding from the side of the barn and started cladding but gave up as it's too cold without gloves, replumbed the hall radiator, laid some turf, logged up a tree that came down in the wind. Lapped some valves in and put a head on, sorted out some old carbs and swapped jets around. Ordered stuff off eBay and investigated why the car trailer is at an odd angle and researched indespension units as mine have splined trailing arms. Went into town under duress to get shirts and picked up a sheet of half inch ply to make a dash and did the first cut and marking out for gauges. Watched Grand Tour while on ebay looking for '70's gauges and other unobtanium stuff, wormed the cat and measured up for two windows while assisting OH fitting new socket faceplates with USB sockets as she's refurbing the utility, rewired the boiler feed in mini trunking. Drained down and put anti freeze in the cars and the jeep and shat myself as I think the jeep block is cracked again after my repair 5 years ago so decided to leave it until spring to see if the sump ends up filled with water like last bloody time.
a) how do I cover that in answer?
b) did Steve do similar but can't be arsed to go into detail either?
Is it a bloke thing?

Morning!
Got to get an uber from Stanmore to Basildon today to pick up my car after getting a new engine. I hate cabs, it involves human interaction
I apologise for lack of posts since joining the thread, I still have no internet at my house and using my phone is frustrating!
OK, coming from NE scotland I've never used Uber.Got to get an uber from Stanmore to Basildon today to pick up my car after getting a new engine. I hate cabs, it involves human interaction

I though it was just another taxi? Surely you would have the same level of interaction?

I meant to change the word cab to uber, it's still a cab and still involves that whole 'social interaction' thing people seem to be mad about, it's just cheaper I though it was just another taxi? Surely you would have the same level of interaction?
