Went from Essex to Northants over the weekend… and spend a large proportion of the weekend driving around, or being driven… yet the only TVR's I saw were the ones I was in..! Where is everyone..?!! It was a lovely weekend and didn't see another about!

Seen nothing but TVRs!
50 cars at PotB of which a lot were Tivs.

Edited: I just read your other post and seen why you were so keen to see other Tivs! Well done on the sale and good luck on whatever the next purchase may be.

Reckoon they must all have been south of the river Podie!

While blatting down to Dream Machines on Saturday saw a blue Chimaera heading down from the M25 to he A2, a blue Tuscan (the same blue as the Chimaera I think) heading in the opposite direction towards the Dartford tunnel, then later on nearish Tonbridge a goldish Cerbera.

On the return journey saw the same (?) blue Chimaera heading south from the Dartford crossing.

Sunday I can't count, as I was almost the only person without their TVR at our regional meet

I spent 2 hours driving up to Grafham water in Northants and back via the A14 and A45 etc. I waved at one blue cerb, but he just looked at me as if to say WTF.

There were four at Buntingford on Saturday (red Chim, black Griff, white Tasmin and myself). I didn't see anyone else on Saturday.

I also saw a couple of Chim's on Sunday (apart from those in our convoy). I think one of them was Martin in his red Chim again - two sightings in one weekend 50 miles apart!

Sorry, that was me!
I did wave back, but I don't think you saw.


I only saw you at the last moment (nice green S) as we were filming (not sure yet
whether you were captured!) and had just done a high speed exit from a side road.

It looked like you were on the phone (hands free kit officer...)

Hope to have the film up tonight.

I was also out Saturday near Silverstone late PM, but don't think this was me this time.

Blank look indeed.

Southend to Stanstead & back not one TVR...

Apart from Mrs N17 TVR but cant count that as i had been offered refreshment on the way back...
Many tks for that

I have to say that i dont think the RSPCA would be very happy about the torture of Max with the garden hose


Mrs seasider spotted a red Griff at Shoebury east beach, spoke to the owner who frequents P.h but didnt get a name, lives in Hockley anyone know who it might be?

Saw a dark (black?) Cerb just on the North Devon link road (Jct 27, M5) on Saturday. I was in my Cerb, waving madly and received a VERY blank look from the driver!

Should have been there on Sunday. 8 Tuscan's went for a little wander together ... www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=121319&f=5&h=0

We also saw a Yellow Cerbie and a Green Chimaera wander through the pub car park we were in. They didn't stop

Then there was the green Griff at Shuttleworth and on my way home I also spotted a Blue Griff at Baldock Services .
