Almost daily, but if I swapped TVR for TVR I would go Cerbera.

More that my chest isn't hairy or medallion adorned enough for a Griff.

Too shiny to go on the dirty roads




It's a Cooper bikes framed fixie that I have added a few bits to over time. Now currently residing in the dining room as a work of art rather than a functional bicycle.

I've got a Cooper Spa and an old XJ6... great minds and all that!

While we are on the subject, I also have this

Very nice. More expensive than the car!

Fortunately I do have that battery extension to the engine compartment, it's been a godsend.

Problem with chargers is a lack of power in my garage, but I do have a lightsocket and received a link from a PHer where you can buy a socket that connects to the light fitting. Not sure about that.....

These fittings are a godsend in an old garage, you just have to remember not to switch the light off as you lock the garage, otherwise you still have a flat battery next time.
You can always put a elcb in the cable drop from the bulb holder if elf and safty is a key worry !!

Lovely sounding Chimaera. Although sounds a little quieter than it was at Rolls Royce Sunday Service, back to standard pipes?

I start either of mine and people have to check if they are running

[Garlick]

Probably a bit louder than RRSS. The mic made it sound far quieter than it is

Don't replace the LS with anything else in its class of that era..it will hugely dissapoint

The lexus is truly a brilliant bargain...dont do it.

Add a 2.5-16V to the fleet i say!
