Got to Newlands just before 2pm - seems the world and his wife was there - dog walkers, hikers, bikers and all. NOT ONE parking space available!! Had it do a crap 20 point turn and head out again. Sorry to have missed anyone who made it and got parked. See you next time.

It was good meeting you chaps, those of us lucky enough to get a parking space that is! it seems the first weekend the sun has made an appearance the whole world has decided to descend on the place and clog it up, with mountain bikes, mpvs, hatch backs etc, not a thought for us poor old TVR drivers!

Tony, sorry to hear you had to give up and leave. another guy in a silver Chimaera had a similar experience to yours.

Perhaps a pub would be a better venu for another time, see how it goes.

Was nice to meet more new faces.

I was one of the lucky ones who did manage to get parked....eventually ( i think someone felt sorry for me doing a 10 point turn at the end of the car park and decided to let me have his parking place )

Shame about the amount of cars in the carpark and the queues (sp) for the cafe (could have done with a hot drink before the drive home )

I was approached by an ex porker driver as soon as i got out the Chim who was interested in getting a TVR (another convert) the first question he asked me "have you had any problems with it yet"


Had a lovely drive home wrapped up nice and warm and spotted a TVR on the A25 a couple of miles down the road (not sure if it was a Chim or a Cerb) just had enough time for a quick and a quick glance in my mirror.
