Finally charged the battery.... and being in the country long enough to get the S out of the Garage...:jump:

I've almost forgotten whats it's like.

Not really posted here much recently, not registered for S club 2006, Not been to a TVRCC meet all summer, but HAVE been jealous of all you guys....

Add to all of that I'm moving house next Friday...all the expense and hassle...
But - BIG garage so the S can get the TLC it deserves...

I thought for a while the love affair with TVR was waning... Roll on the spring, the new house, TVR meets, Driving... And being in the country long enough to appreciate all that is TVR.

Tha drive albeit short was fantastic, back end out, the car that is...! the noise, wind on my head..(not thro' the hair)

I'll be seeing you all soon... God bless TVR and all those who drive them.

Dave

Hear Hear Dave, had a short drive in mine today before Steve Howard finally took it away for some serious fettling.

I know you have your hands full at the moment but can we count on you for any assistance or tee shirts for SCH.

I've been working in Shanghai & Hong Kong what feels like every other week for the summer... Going back again in Feb & throughout the rest of the year. Moving our production from UK to China.
New house as well - didn't need to sell the car..

nice to hear from you Dave

In answer to the question - toooooooooooo long.

MOT expired just before Christmas and just haven't managed to find time to get it done.

Off to India a week on Monday so might see if I can leave it with Thames Valley for a service and MOt whilst I'm away and then have a blast when I get back.

May?? Jees...

I had two 6-week gaps (one in August / September and one in November/December) and getting back in the first time even after that time was just superb.
