You ain't wrong brudda: I had to extract my 390 from its slumbers this afternoon to make room to get a new lathe into my workshop. Foolishly I'd allowed the battery to run flat so had to wait a couple of hours while it charged.
Started first turn, pushed the Esprit out of the way and backed the TVR into the daylight for the first time in months.
Then I found myself daydreaming; imagining what it might be like just to go for a quick spin round the block, nailing it hard then standing on the brakes to clear the rust off the discs, hearing the Beirut soundtrack as the exhaust reverberates off the old folks' home. Remembering the off-idle throat-clearing, then the push in the back as the tacho passes 3000 rpm and...





But the car's not taxed, so I guess it'll have to remain a daydream
