Sprint continues to improve. In this months issue amongst the usual stuff there's a review of the Tuscan convertible, a feature of Jellisons Chimaera LS6 conversion and an update on the TVR Le Mans Grantura story. What's more encouraging is the articles are properly printed in black and white. None of that nonesense of printing text in barely contrasting colours over busy picture detail making it difficult to read.

There's also a promotion of the 'TVRCC Suspension kit'. This is available for all models with coil over suspension and consists of a set of Gaz gold adjustable, rebuildable shocks.
This is an interesting development given that only a couple of issues ago there was a factory tour and big feature on Spax stuff.

Anyone got any experience of the Gaz stuff?

Can't believe there isn't a thread going about this already!

There's been quite a few comments on the S pages about the Gaz kit over recent months, all favourable. Looking forward to getting mine fitted very soon!!

Hello chaps,

Do you get many articles in Sprint concerning older TVR's??

Is it time for me to re-subscribe??

Nope not got mine yet - but Rob K lent me his. I is a definate improvment from last few - the print not being overpic and more techy stuff floats my boat.

Nice JH BTW, I still fancy one

We want more, please. I know the winter months are downtime for many of the older cars but we really would like more on the pre-Wedges.

And, before anyone flames the Team, on Wedges, S-types, Griff/Chims, Cerbs and all Speed 6 engined cars as well.

There's an article in the pipeline on the classics, but I won't say what one.

They're a very undervalued car. From a driving perspective, far, far better than an MGB and a lot of other stuff of the same era. You can pick up a decent one for around £3k and they often go for a lot less on ebay.

Keep an eye on this one.

Best news I've heard in ages - for my aged eyes. So often I have to move my copy into better lighting to be able to read it! Looking forward to receiving it now even more!

For some weird reason I got two copies, so if anyone wants a copy email me your address and I'll send it over. In fact I'll have read it by the time I have got into work tomorrow so I'll send both copies out to the first 2 replies, courtesy of the mail room at work.

Had a good look at it last week while at APM when the consultant chap from Gaz who's been working on settings came over.

They look a very impressive, well build bit of kit and various parties have been at work getting the settings tweaked for individual models. So bar anything costly being found during my next service, I may well have a set fitted.

Got mine yesterday, had a quick flick through when I got home (looks good), and I decided to have my tea, play a bit of Rome, and then have a nice relaxing read. However, I started to play Rome, and the next thing I knew, it was 12.30am!!!!

So I'll read it tonight!!!!
