All good for another year

A successful day, both cars MOT'd


The S has managed nearly 5600 miles (and joined the 100,000 + club) in 2015 and the Taimar a mere 2217.

Brilliant. Love the car port.

Blimey Mike; I am nervous enough taking one for an MOT, let alone 2 on the same day. It must be like being the expectant father of twins.

[Niiige]

Congratulations Mike. Ready for another year of motoring pleasure !

Hardly in doubt Mike with the quality of your beasts but well done anyway

[Bobhon]

Happy Days eh.

Took mine to the garage over the road from work this year.

Nice one Mike!

Perhaps we should stage SCH 2016 at your place to save moving the event shelter. I'm assuming you have fastened it down?

Hope it's not as windy down your way as it is up here, there are wheelie bins blowing down our road and Christmas wrapping is everywhere!

Good work Mike, congrats !!

[greyhulk]

mint condition! interesting choice of rims on the S, what size are they?

Same here Glen. All the trees look pretty though now that they have the majority of the wrapping paper caught in them!

Many congrats on the multi-MOT success

Hardly, but seen worse

7 x 15 as standard but slightly more offset (stick out a touch more)




Taimar also on 7 x 15 "Revolutions" (standard is 5.5? x 14)

They look neat! Ive always wondered what black rims on an older TVR would look like. I was contemplating whether to go up to 17" on the 'S' to try an adapt to these terrible Birmingham roads, or maybe just raise the suspension another inch Do you find your middle exhaust box scrapes abit?

That would be counter-productive, because you would have to use lower profile tyres. Remember, your tyre is part of your suspension, so if you have a lower side-wall, you will reduce the tyres ability to soak up the bumps.

Or stick with the original suspension units?
