NEC classic

[macdeb]

Just a mention that it was a pleasure to have been asked again to show my car at the NEC Classic car show at the weekend. It follows on from the additional work done since the last time. It was great to see the usual suspects and meet some new faces
Congratulations to the club for winning prizes for stand, club and personality

Crikey, Thanks guys the kind comments are very much appreciated, really. I wasn't gonna put anything up as I didn't think it was of any interest on here but Neal 1980 insisted I did
Thanks again ,makes the effort worthwhile when someone appreciates it

It was great to see you & your fantastic machine on Sunday Mac, she's an absolute credit to you, thanks again for taking so much time to chat to me & my mate.

However I do have a bone to pick with you, not an ounce of lycra on the Lancaster Insurance stand on Sunday, when I complained and asked why the bloke in charge said something about having had to get the girls to dress less provocatively due to some old pervy bald bloke in a TVR shirt leching around at every opportunity for the last 2 days

Yup, guilty as charged. Maybe I shouldn't have offered to wash it for her, with her wearing it
as always Richard, a pleasure

I remember looking at your and I wondered - did you drive it there, and if you did, just how much work did it take to get it looking like it did last weekend?

Yup, drove there. LOT'S at first but easier now.

Hi, don't want to start my first posting on a negative point but why are you all praising the Chimp that was on the TVRCC stand, it has had different wheels put on (Not factory Chimp issue) and the two front wings are totally wrong.
I agree it looks stunning in the flesh, BUT its not a real TVR CHIMP or am I missing the point of classic cars, I thought originality was key....

Yup, you're right and I'm wrong, silly of me and many others who appreciated it [are you a pseudonym of someone on here?]
If you read the opening firstly it states I was asked again by the club to display the car. They have the view that it could've been a natural progression for the Chimaera that the factory may have taken had they still been made and my intention all along was to have the car looking 'factory' with mods being TVR sourced as much as possible. Apologies for short terse reply, as I'm en route to the garage to dismantle it

PS; It's not a 'chimp' it is a Chimaera, the original name from factory is TVR Chimaera, or have I got that wrong too? Knob.

Mac mate, just to help stop you getting wound up, look at TVR4US profile and his comments, garage section and you'll see it's only someone pulling your leg.

I'm sure you've already worked this out but I couldn't rest any longer worrying that you might not have ...........and NO it's not me !!

Thanks mate, I thought as much TBH and took the opportunity to explain myself, though why I should have to is a shame. Myself and Neal have a shortlist of suspects.

^^^^ you were the first on list
