Hi Paul,
I'm in Bradley Stoke so not far from the Willy Wicket where you guys meet up. Will join the car club in the new year and look to join the fun on some of your runs out.
I'll probably get lambasted on the chim forum for saying it but your Griff looks the dogs danglies! :-)
Thanks Ian - have you seen my Griff or just my profile pick? - Wheels are now Gold SP12s'/TD's which seem to go well with the black .....

Look forward to cathcing up in 2014 !

Regards, Paul.

Excellent choice, as everyone knows Imperial Blue ones are the fastest (on account of the dilithium crystals embedded in the paint)

Hi Paul,

Btw, the colour is Imperial blue which I think was a Toyota colour in the late nineties.
Imperial Blue was a ford colour used for the Escort Cosworth. Just beware when getting any paintwork done that there are at least 3 blues called 'imperial blue' (according to the paintshop I used a while back) so make sure you get the right one if having any paintwork done. I had a wing mirror in the wrong one which looked almost identical but not quite....

Hi Paul, Just looked up the profile pic but with those exhausts acting like flame throwers think I'd best keep my distance behind you biglaugh
Also looked up the Bristol car club gallery for local Tiv's, some lovely looking cars on the run outs. Particularly like the idea of joining the dragon run in 2014. cool
Enjoy the festivities and let's wish for lots of sunny days.

Dodsy,
Thanks for the heads up on the colour issue, will definitely check out the paint codes before having any work done. Notice you've had the lights upgraded to the faired in style, have to say it looks it good. Do you mind me asking where you had it done please?
Totally agree the blue ones are the fastest, think its the colour matched stitching on the seats that gives them extra oomph!,

Hi Nige,
Rosso Red eh......mmmm love that colour.
You'll be amazed how many local Tiv's there are. If you haven't already get yourself over to the
TVRCC Bristol Facebook page to catch up on all the local events.
We recently had an awesome run over to the Brecons at 6am on a Sunday morning, 150 miles and back for breakfast.
Are you heading up to the Neil Garner open day on 27th sept?
Should be a few of us heading up.
Ian
