I've a feeling there is a fibreglass paint and repair specialist on the outskirts of Ottery. If I'm right then there is a chance your spotteds might only be cars being ferried there for a bit of TLC.

Not me Graham. Out and about taking advantage of the brief spell of sunshine were you?

Hope that grin is still there and the car is behaving as well for you as it did for me.

There is indeed and I do sometimes see Tivs on their forecourt. It was unusual to seee two older TVR's together though - sounded nice too!

I popped down to Portland to give it, and my mother, an airing. Not that it's kept in the shed for weeks, you understand ... but you know - any excuse!

Tried out my new Digi8 camcorder which turned out to be rather anti-climactic as the battery failed after 20 seconds and all I got was a limp-wristed acceleration up to 40 out of the Verne car park.

As for grins, see my profile for the latest damage to my wallet!

Other than that, boot-it-full as Bernard Matthews might say.

Replaced it yet? How about a barn find? My brother has a Mini 1275GT under a load of hay, rotting away - the peasant.

Tell me about it.

Guess I'll be getting my hands dirty in future...

On the plus side, my car seemed to be the noisiest in the car park on that day and that has to count for something.

You scoundrel! I couldn't possibly get rid of Mr Happy!
