John Peel has always wanted a TVR

[julianhj]

... but says he can't justify the cost.

I'm composing a polite note of encouragement as we speak.

As a Hooligan at the Reading Festivals, I used to hurl abuse @ Mr Peel. But for a miserable old b8888r he is almost cool, especially his Radio 4 program. Ask him if he wants a ride in my car - its 'proper' because it has a top!

I suggested that he investigate the possibilities of an early Chimaera...

He should get a Typhon

[chimburt]

he said that last night Julian, didn't he? was listineng myself ( whilst playing far-cry ).
Mary-Ann Hobgoblin got him a tuscan experience day a year or two ago for his b'day - which he thoroughly enjoyed, by all accounts.
Nearly mailed him myself to invite him to combe next week...
might just do that.
he's making excuses anyhow, drives a bloody great jag saloon if memory serves.

Whassisname from Lord Of The Rings, oh Elijah Wood, is standing in for the god Peel later this month...

[julianhj]

Got a response back:

'Don't tempt him!' - presumably from his producer or assistant.

Julian,
what did you ask peely: why don't you buy a chim, or why don't you come to combe?

on another note, the g/f tried that link, and spoke to orange. apparently they were selling tickets from the 1st to the 6th, but not today.
thanks anyway though

John, TVRs are a great secondhand purchase if you go for one of the Rover V8s - I can highly recommend the Griffith, or for those on a budget, the 4 litre Chimaera. Proper old school motoring, pant-wettingly good fun, and all for around £10k for a tidy early example. Find a decent specialist (there are plenty to choose from) and you can have supercar thrills for Fiesta money. Give it some thought, you only live once! Best regards, Julian (avid TVR fan)

Perhaps if we all send him a nice letter telling him to buy one, he'll do a slot about it on his show and eventually have to get one due to sheer pressure...

Teenage Kicks by the Undertones has always been one his top records (if not THE one) and its often in my CD changer. Maybe he should know it goes really well with the burble of a V8.
