Was a good driving day. Nice to see/hear the TVR's on the burbblewink

The guys where playing MINI punch in the back of the car.
So passing about 50 MINI's was very funny biggrin

Hi Chris

Yes it was a great day out for us on the TVR Ice Cream run
and was great to see so many minis as well

At least the TVRs outnumbered the Minis at the ice cream stop

Pics of the TVR run here if anyone interested

Hi everyone - Sorry for walking in, but I was part of the MINI crowd yesterday! biggrin

Good to see some lovely TVRs yesterday - The orange Tuscan 2 pops into my head at this point biggrinbiggrin And the yellow Tuscan which I swear had straight through exhausts and sounded amazing biggrinbiggrin So glad the weather held out too - Made it all worthwhile biggrin The Ice Cream wasn't too bad either well worth the trip from Welwyn Garden City, or in the case of the driver, from Brighton!! eekbiggrin

I was passengering in this MINI if you remember it - Can't really miss it tongue out



Probably see you there next year biggrin

Ollie smile

Just remembered the highlight of the day for me

In the afternoon as we passed a pub with lots of people drinking outside
we each got a standing ovation as we gunned it off from the junction.
I think the louder we set off the more clapping and cheering we seemed to get.

It is great to own a car that is appreciated even as you drive it.

Saw a gorgeous light purple Tuscan at the Sun inn near Menworth hill Yesterday. Sounded cloud9 and the wheels were kind of lightly powdercoated the same purple as the car.

Even turned the heads of us bikers biggrin.
