Attended my first TVR CC gathering at the w/end and have to say that travelling in the middle of a 10 car convoy with 6 Griffs, 2 SEACs, a 400SE and a V8S was a real experience! Sun was out and everyone was driving with a bit of enthusiasm. Having Griffs driving in front and behind was just the best. (Couldn’t bottle up that emotion any more - just had to spill the beans!)

Was a bit surprised how quiet my standard exhaust 500 sounded - at one point I couldn’t even hear my own car!!

sounds like you need a sports exhaust !!

I just sold my griff 500 but it's still fun to
see tvr drivers - they always have big grins
on their faces !

Yup, good run, nice to meet you all!!

Try not to have anything impeding the exhausts escape: just take everything that's in the way out...

See you at the next.. erm.. pub. Crikey, what were the chances of us all being on the same road at the same time on Sunday, eh . Coincedence or what!!!

Garry,

I've just sent Nacnud some stills taken from the Video from Sunday. It'll probably take a couple of days to get them on the Bristol site, but there will definitely be at least one shot of your car.

... oh and Scruff.... Smoooooth

Yes, I haven't yet realised Dan is filming me .

Yes I am 'making progress' .

Yes, I say something stupid on camera .

Yes, it will probably be playing on a screen near you

Have I slipped into another dimension or something?

I could have sworn () there was a post earlier that referred to beautiful locks, woven mat and brushing!?

I thought I saw that too - PetrolTed must have thought we weren't quite ready to get into Scruff's bathroom routines - who knows where it might have ended!

PS: what no Chims on the run? - let me know when you need a representative to join the fun - it's only two and a half tankfuls to get there and back!!

I think Scruff said it was due to golf... (Ryder Cup was on!)
Nice pics Nacnud and Dan - mine seems to be just out of shot on all of them though!! No matter, just seeing a line of them is excellent!

Oh I get it - the chim was designed with a boot to hold one/two golf bags so by definition all chim owners are golfers and prefer to watch Ryder Cup than go for a blat in the sun! NOT!

Perhaps a tvr golf buggy with ajpv8 power for those :difficulttogettoballs: I think I just bumped into the subject of all the secrecy on TVR's MotorShow2002 exhibit!!

The post was crap...

I managed the run and the Ryder cup on the radio - but could only hear it when we stopped
