Tivs only or Heinz 57 meet?
May be able to make it depends on workload?
all motors ,but usually see Tusc,Griffs,Chimps,Wedge,'S',odd classic M or Vix ....looks like the weather will put a couple of people off tho'......last month was absolutely rammed,incredible turn-out
I was there , so was a contingent from Warks TVRCC inc Tusc,Cerb,Chims,Griff & my Wedge
Very damp i'm afraid , put the numbers down a bit but still a varied turnout including a V12 supercharged 'hot rod' , an AEC Matador recovery lorry! ,some big-assed Dodge RAMs/Ford lightnings, Sunbeam Lotus( love those
) older americana/British sports MGB MGC,Sunbeam Alpine, minis /Jap exotica etc basically a melting pot of varied metal ......better than watching Emmerdale / or any other Soapy stuff!

[quote=father ted]Sunbeam Lotus( love those )
Ah Father, a man of taste! I love the Lotus too, In my youth I ownwd a Sunbeam in which I fitted a 2 Litre Pinto engine, twin webbers and 5 speed box from a Sierra, full cage and all the bits, bloody quick for a little hatch at the time. Still thinking about a Cosworth Sunbeam if I get the chance and the time.
Well done for braving the weather!

Yeh, all that pleasure and you dont have to buy her dinner everytime you want to take her out, or go shopping for shoes afterwards! 
Glad to hear imob sorted and good luck with the pipes, are you fitting stainless manifolds or standard?
(Andy how are you looking for Shelsley - I am meeting 3 counties gang at Little Chef off junct 9 M5 at 9.00am?)
Theres room for another one Father Ted if your interested plenty of horsepower going up the hill that day including Lotus F1 cars.

Steve, hopefully will know some more in a few days, they started the work today so if the weathers good it should get finished pretty quick!
Appologies if you have mailed me at home, my pc deceased 2 weeks ago
had to format the drive and couldn't back anything up to cd before hand 
Should be back up in a few days,do you still have the picture from BBWF?
as soon as you are up and able to receive - just drop me an e-mail.

See thread for more details www.tvrtalk.co.uk/showthread.php?threadid=299&goto=newpost
Let me know your plans ps Andy may be looking for a ride if he ca`nt get the wedge out of the garage (long story involving DIY on house not car!) so might well be worth dropping him mail if you have a free seat?
(I`ll just get me cue - I`m leaving)

Hi Father Ted,
hope they are giving Mrs Doyle the weekend off as we desperately need someone to make the tea and sandwiches for the PICNICHEADS outing to Shelsley.
Thanks for uploading the pic of Shadowfax taking me round the car park, are you sure I was moving? I would have expected the background to be a blur or is it some clever trick with Photoshop?
If you looking in Andy I trust that you will be able to break the car free
this Sunday?
Spent Sunday over at Rutland with East Mids TVRCC (42) Tivs and splendid crowd but a bit of a jaunt (230 mile round trip) but nothing fell orrf and everything is still working!
By the way how are you supposed to keep your hat on above 120mph
(academic question as we would never condone or attempt such a danergerous and foolhardy thing on the UK roads)
Speak to you both soon I hope
(ps trust the zorst was a doddle?)
