Just returned from a weekend away to Devon. While we were there we spotted :
Green Chimera on the A 30 ( Saturday) - We waved.
Green S passing Newton Abbot train station ( Saturday) - We waved.
Blue Chimera in Matalan car park ( Sunday 11.20)
Miserable git on M3 who drove passed us and totally ignored our waves.

But what we didnt spot was the large piece of metal flying towards us on the M25 near the Dartford Tunnel. It managed to hit our front wing, causing a 2 inch hole and a scratch that is 3inches long and 2 inches wide. ( Now who's a miserable git! )
Anyone had similar damage? What sort of price am I looking at for repair

Was that at a TVR dealer or did you go somewhere else?

Bal,

Dave sometimes comes to the Ace cafe meet. If you cant get hold of him via PH then I have his mobile number. Let me know if you want it.

Regards.

Hi Matt.
Thanks for that. I'll wait and see if he e-mails back and if not I will get his number from you.
Will you be at the Ace Cafe on Friday?

There were quite a lot of TVRs on the M3 on Sunday - a few more clues might be required

It's probably me driving with my eyes closed again

I'm glad that it wasnt you driving with your eyes closed as it was directly behind us!
It was an S and he just ignored the missus when she turned around to wave at him. ( Mind you she can be scary!)
I moved over and he just sped right passed and ignored us. He's probably not a PHer anyway.
