Meeting - Switzerland - Oct 2

[Avalanche]

A mixture of chocolate, cheese and British grunt:

Tomorrow: www.british-cars.ch/index_gb.html

Looking forward to seeing some TVR mates I've met on PH

Hi mate,
There are at least 3 Swiss TIVs attending plus another 2 who still have to confirm, which means that – compared to the total number of TIVs in Switzerland - TVR will be well represented (don’t laugh you others!). See you tomorrow (will buy you some fresh milk on my way across the Alps).

[speedsix20]

Will be there too.

I will pretend not to hear when people refer to my car as a Triumph

Avalanche, I think I saw your car once or twice between Nyon and Geneva.

Sometimes mine's a Jag: www.tuning-auto.com/index.php?wo=45&marque=%&modele=&meeting=geneve04&page=reportage&rubrique=reportages&id=54

That would be me doing the run between Nyon and GE. My first 'spotted' ahaha Interested to learn more about the track days on your website

As SwissGriff500 said a few of us have already talked about a blast up the jura afterwards - hope you're up for it too!

a plus

[speedsix20]

I would definitely be up for it !

The track days mentionned on my website are quite friendly and informal and I'll keep you posted when the next one will be set up which should be sometime next year probably on the Val de Vienne track.

See you tomorrow maybe and a plus

We just got back from Switzerland on the Eurohoon - you guys should have joined us! That Grimselpass is something else..

Avalanche,

my brother hoped to meet you there yesterday, but could not find you. He parked a Vanquish next to your car and waited a few hours, then dropped a business card in your car and left. He wants to know all about importing a Tuscan into Switzerland, so please give him a call.

[Avalanche]

Hey Infinity,

Is this me just missing your brother?!:

The same crazy dutchman who jumped out of his car in the middle of Geneva rushhour to take photos of my Tuscan last week?!?! Got his card - will call him tomorrow!

Did you take delivery of your Tuscan yet..?

Was a great day:




We went for a blast thru the mountains in the afternoon, Griffs up ahead:

Drove the Tuscan hard and the performance was incredible - acceleration/grip unbelievable.

SwissGriff500, as promised - happy memories mate!:

Hope you had as much fun on the road back to Ticino!

yep, that's him. He called me from his car last week, when you drove behind him in Geneva, but finished the call when he had to jump out to stop you!

[VARSOVIA]

Hi guys!, was there as usual but arrived too late this year (had to look at the races in Qatar before and was blocked in the traffic at the route du lac..), and missed that superb Tuscan!!!. I´d never saw much TV´s at Morges... And would be a pleasure to meet some swiss or french owner and keep some valuable information about matters related to importation, mantainance, etc..., here in switzerland (I´m trying to import a Chimaera from UK to France (beside Geneva) where I leave, but not seems so easy); maybe next year on my Chim?.
Took a pic of an S3C yesterday to send to my friend Rog (who told me about this topic on PH), from somebody of you?.

Hope you had a better day than me...
A + donc.

So Brian, I finally get a hold on you... On a UK-based internet forum, whereas we appearently were only meters away from eachother last saturday...

Well, waiting for your call then. Or an e-mail with YOUR phone number, so we NEVER get into that same situation again.

By the way, your Tuscan and the Vanquish were nice eyecatchers next to eachother!

Bert

Bert!

Sorry I didn't recognise you, was distracted by your beautiful girlfriend, I mean beautiful car.....amazing sound!

Thought I'd put my natel# on my last e-mail to you...! I've sent it to you now. Importing a Tuscan here is easy - happy to show you how.

Varso - Je n'ai aucune experience pour ce qui est de l'importation d'une Tuscan en France mais je suppose que ca ne doit pas etre plus dur qu'en suisse. De toute facon j'ai la documentation necessaire pour la reglementation EURO 3. Je serais content qu'on se rencontre pour en discuter.

[tvr_tuscan]

However the Vanquish is a crazy drive indeed, I would not feel confortable leaving you guys thinking it's my own car. Sure I can drive it regularly, but it belongs to my boss.
Having it "at hand", I just thought a British Car Meeting could not be attended without it...

I am myself looking for a Tuscan, S if possible, and more seriously since I first saw it "for real" in Holland, a few weeks ago...

Just to put things straight!
