If you want me to pick up the Viper and blow of the cobwebs then no worries lol. When are you back again?


I'm back on May 31st. Keen to get back out on a run then! I'd get you to give the Snake a run but, unfortunately, the seat's bolted directly to the floor (for extra head room) and you have to be at least 6ft tall to reach the pedals!


I'm 6' 2", can I get a shot?

Any day is fine for me btw!

Well, at least I've got some suitably tall potential purchasers if I decide to sell the car in December! Might need some cash for a house. But, would you believe it, I appear to have the keys to the Viper with me here in Seattle! (didn't want my dad or brother taking it to go and buy the morning paper)

What are you guys DOING to your TVR's!!!! That's no problem can you drop me an email adn I will pass the route on to you.

Hoping to have twisted the Vipers arm for the sat as he will be home by then. If fancied we could have it as an afternoon run and have a pub meal after it?? After the run in Inverness we all stopped for a bite and had a good laugh before heading our separate ways.

Am away that weekend for a wedding in Stirling....Fezza misbehaving just now anyway....blooming alternator light ! I knew getting away with 1000 miles without any problems was too good to be true !!!

Anyone know a good auto electrial / alternator place in Aberdeen ? Just need to swap out the regulator and rectifier with something slightly more up to the job !

What - electrical problems on an Italian car - surely not

Try:-

Taylors Auto Electrical
Address: Fernhill Industrial Estate, Lang Stracht
City: Aberdeen
Post Code: AB16 6QX
Tel: +44 (0) 1224 662424
Fax: +44 (0) 1224 663463
Email: taylors@dingbro.com

Otherwise John Wheeler and Kirkhill per previous post , but make sure he knows it's for a 348. Spotted you in the West End a few days ago but I was in a Landie not the Fezza

Hope you get it sorted thumbup

Hello all,

I'd be there except that I'm not in town on the 2nd - might have to pass. Shame as I'll have my new brakes and decat exhaust on by then....

I know, your getting me worried. Even though i've only driven mine about 150 miles since i bought it, it still broke down on me too. LOL Not that im worried too much. Think its only the 100 Amp fuse for the alternator. How many TVR owners are there in Aberdeen now?

I'm up for it if I've got over the jet-lag by then (get back from the US on May 31st). I'm also quite keen on going to Crail on June 10th - it's a non-mag day and the same w/e as Rockness (i.e. hopefully less neds!). Despite the craspness that is the strip there, I'm keen to see what the snake will do

Thanks Stiglet, Taylors have ordered me the upgraded alternator parts so I'll get them changed out at the weekend and hopefully that'll be one common Fezza electrical problem cured ! Did the window booster box's last weekend and they worked a treat so getting there bit by bit....

West end was indeed most likely me as I live and work in that part of town! Still waiting to get my private reg on though which will be an even bigger giveaway!

Cheers

Des

I'm easy either way, just keep me posted. More time might let me get to know the car a bit better. The only thing with a Saturday afternoon is won't the roads be quite a bit busier?

Cheers
