Lovely weekend, especially today. Took the Cerbera out for a blast. I used a whole tank of Optimax driving around North London and Hertfordshire and I didn't see, not even one other TVR!!

Was loads of Porkas about, couple of Ferraris, but no TVRs. Where were you all? To be honest, I felt quite exclusive in my Cerb.

One particular moment gave me a big grin. I was driving through Cockfosters towards Potters Bar, one car behind a Porsche. As I approached a couple of kids, they were pointing at me and I could see one mouth, Woooaah, T - V - R! Ignoring the Porka.

I'm getting as much road time in as I can cos I gotta have a knee op soon, and won't be able to drive for a while

Worrying isn't it - I know I use my Cerb as a daily driver, but I've seen one TVR out and about in the last two months.... must have all be laid up in hibernation til the sun comes out again.

We were out and about today and spotted a silver T350 in Windsor. Fabtastic photo opportunities in Burnham Beeches and a cracking blast around the area ... roof off of course.

Was out yesterday and today on both occassions with the roof down. Yesterday took a friend from (Boxster owner) back from Harrow to Burnham on crouch via central london. Had a great spin, and then went out with him and his porsche (its yellow) in a yellow rumble and spotted a silver chim and a purple parked Tuscan parked down his road.

Today went to Purleigh in essex to visit another mate (yep i know they are next door to each other) but this time took the other half. Spotted no TVRs until late into the evening when we were driving up the tottenham court road and I spied a Tuscan upfront! Could not get to him as the lights changed.

Well you obviously we're frequenting the right places old boy... I too was out in our wonderful county experiencing the joy of thundering a V8 through the Weald of Sussex...

...my neighbours are less passionate about my 'symphony', however...

Okay, so a few of us left the DIY behind and ventured out into the winter sunshine.

Still don't understand why I only see other TVRs about when I'm in my BMW??

Maybe the only answer is to get rid of the daily drive and use my Cerbera more. Just don't like parking it where I work!

I was out and about on Saturday. Off to Tonbridge for a game of footy. Didn't have the roof down as I was on the motorway for a bit though - I know, I'm a wuss. I think I've seen zooom out and about recently - I've seen a silver T350 about in Sutton Valence and Riverhead.

Me too!

Did see a couple on Saturday tho. Griff, by Dore, then - Shock horror - another Tamora just coming into Sheffield. First one I've seen when I've been in mine apart from at CC meets.

I was out on saturday, and saw three other TVR's.
Grey Tuscan in Gateshead Metro centre Red zone multi, Blue / green Cerbera in Tynedale Park, Hexham, and Blue Griff 500 in Brockbushes car park (A69 / A68) roundabout.

Anyone on here?

Might have been me that you saw in Windsor. Didn't see you but did spot a dark blue Chim there. Very nice day - any excuse to get some more miles on the car, 300 more to go until its run in.

I was up over Snake's Pass on Sunday. Great drive, but it would have been nice to see some other nice cars out though.

Would have loved to have seen you guys out in the peak district but the tiv's currently in hospital.

One reason why you lot are being lonesome cowboys could be for this reason:- Asked Paul at Chris Niels if the weather was having any effect on business. He said they normally have about 4-5 cars in per month due to accidents - at the moment they've got over 20 in

Might ask Paul to fit tyre fenders to mine

Drive carefully hombres
