I'm pretty sure ours is called Ruby Mica Red and Colins is just a tad paler than ours.

So there!

Colin states his colour as being Starmist Crimson, so nur nur nana nur

Thinking about it, my old Griff was Mica Blue and was more of a dark blue, so going by the shade of blue v's shade of red, perhaps Mica Red is in fact the darker colour, such as yours and Im talking total boolarks...again

Hi Guys, yes I will be the 'newbie' in town, I am based in Southwater at the moment, just off Blakes Farm Road Rd, are you nearby Ed? You may see, or more likely hear, me from time to time Are any of you going to the Friday lunchtime Blat in Crawley? I wil be there anyway.

Yes Mica red, AFAIK, is a dark met red, the bright red is Monza red, like my car!

See you sometime soon, possibly at a Horsham meet, can you add me to the mailing list if there is one? Cheers.

Mike

Hi folks,
I think the red chim belongs to a young lady called Vickki, her hubby drives a big bad cerbie, they also live on the Blakes Farm development (round towards the RSPCA site). They're not Pher's so I will drop them an email about our 'Post New Year outing'.

Welcome to Horsham Mike, will you be joining us on the 9th Jan for a blat and a pint?

Cheers

Derek

I am sure I will see them again as I am round that side of the estate too!! Although my car doesnt come out to play that often in this weather, I will be at the Blat on Friday though!!!

I would love to come on the New Year blat/pint but fear I will be still away, as we are going away for 10 days over New Year, I will see if we will be back in time! Let me know of others though.

Regards

Mike

Hello all - I didn't realise there were so many TVRers in Horsham...Its only got a population of ten. Well I'm another one. Yellow Chimaera, usually spotted wrestling violently with the steering wheel with a sort of surprised expression on my face. So let me in on it, whats all these meets I know not of. Theres another dude round the corner from me (blatysplatblat, or something like that), who owns a white griff. We'd both be interested...
Oh, BTW is Mica red like a slightly faded burgandy ? If so the mysterious machine lurks quite alot in my close. Has a sports exhaust, so I keep thinking somebody's run off with mine.....

Hi Derek and thanks for the welcome I look forward to attending as many meets as possible, family permitting!

The Friday blat is a Xmas meet I guess, meet at the Gatwick Manor pub at 12.30 and go for a blat then some food??? Can you make it, would be great to meet as many local tivers as possible on the first meet as I am new to the area.

Speak and hopefully meet soon.

Later

Mike
