Nice suprise as I sat down this afternoon to do a bit of work and see James May and Sir Jackie at Olton Park in the Tuscan Convertible.

Yes it makes a change for the trio of twerps not to dare knock the TVR in front of sir Jackie,who clearly loved the Tuscan.

I looked at buying that car a few years ago when it was in one of the dealers showrooms (can't remember which one, maybe Harrogate). Anyway, it disappeared off sale, but hadn't been sold.

When I enquired, I was told that it had been borrowed by Smelly and got crashed by his girlfriend in Vienna. Last I heard was that it was then returned to the UK and repaired??

Either way, pleased to hear it is still out and about smile

After I posted to say it was on, I had to go out and so recorded it.
When I got home my daughter asked me what I had "tried to record, coz it failed".
So I bloody missed it frown after all.

Its blocked from the UK, but going by a foreign proxy works fine.

Here is one that you can just slap the youtube URL into and it will work,
but any proxy site will do the same job.
