All good thanks, Griff still going well. Some old school still here just don't post often, Facebook has taken over to an extent. Last I heard of Dave he moved abroad.

spend's electrical fault finding posts are excellent

His breakdown of a Griffith/Chimaera fusebox is a class above all others

One of the few posters to the TVR forums that knows the electrical side of the job inside out

The sad thing is, in reading many of spend's posts I noticed that those with less knowledge knocked his help as though he was clueless

Jeffsy! biggrin

Ain't seen much of anyone for years. Those halcyon grif days fondly remembered.

Good to see so many of the old names still here, mostly still with TVRs. Kudos. Bigger balls than me.

Forums are much thinner these days. Facebook, pah!

Several new owners asking the same questions, to be expected.

Several have and some will move on to other things, only natural……..

I met Spend up at Joolz garage shortly before he disappeared. He was having family problems and had to disappear from where he lived. Apparently he went abroad and has cut ties with TVR for one reason or another. I wonder if he still has his car?………………..

I thought his car got sold on ebay a few years ago. Had a very distinctive reg. which is now on a land rover ... dave also had a land rover .. not sure where I'm going with that other than to think dave no longer owns his chim.
