To anyone on here who hasn't been to any TVR meets or run outs, I would striongly recommend it to any TVR owner!
Me and my fiancee went to the one at the Edgemoor Inn in Gloucestershire today, all I can say is WOW!! There was a stunning new Cerbera, 2 drop dead gorgeous Tuscans, Wedges, even a Noble M12 and about 10 Chims. I can still feel the sound of all these engines resonating in my head.
All the guys and girls there were so friendly, and helpful ( I couldn't put my targa top in the boot untill someone showed me!!)
We can't wait for the next one, Chan was well impressed and enjoyed it immensely. So, if there are people out there who have doubts about going to a meet, don't,, it's just so enjoyable!!

On this subject I would like to thank the Cotswold Three Counties region, for their hospitality, given to the 8 TVRs from the South Wales Region, and the drive out after for the customary photos. Hope we can arrange another run between us soon.

Thanks a lot.

Steve Parker.

Loverly day out. Chance to see a Noble in the flesh as well. Did anyone see the young lads in a car at the lights somewhere (forget the name but between the pub and view point) giving us some serious respect hand signs? Yo

Thanks to you Steve and the rest of the clan from South Wales, it was brilliant to see you.

Yes it would be great to meet up again soon

The rain stayed away and some good photos were to be had at the viewpoint at Birdlip near the Air Balloon Pub (i'll attach some photo's soon)

Apologies to other traffic coming up Birdlip hill on the A417 - we kind of just took over the lanes for a while there!!

The silver Chimaera that came out from the Forest of Dean was much missed by all - are you on here? Sorry but we didn't get to chat much 'cos it was so chaotic at the Edge Inn, by the time we looked around for you again to say hello properly - you'd gone. Get back in touch!

Good to see such a great turnout yesterday and particularly our new found friends from South Wales. Well done for ordering the weather as well.

Look forward to meeting up with you again soon, 35 squids a night for some fine Welsh hospitality sounded too good to miss.

More pics, more pics, more pics . WHAT DO WE WANT? MORE PICS

Looking at the Photos I wish I had stayed longer, but commitments dictated otherwise. Thanks for the answers to my questions. Hope to see you all next time.
