Just got back in London and on one day I'm greeted with:

Purple Griff on the A40 going south towards Shephards Bush as I was going north. May have been mistaken but it looked like a chameleon Chim next to me on A40 by Sparks going south. plate: 5 ELLO or 5 ELO?

Chameleon Tuscan on Brompton Road later that night. All on Saturday.

You should try living in the west of Scotland for a while. TVR's are like the bloody Holy Grail.

NY on the otherhand. Fair Enough!

In the traffic next to the Chim I didn't need to drop the window to hear the engine note. I will never take seeing a TVR for granted again.

You lot shouldn't grumble, in the last five years spent here in Hungary I have seen just one TVR, a German registered Griff 500 SE in blue. But I have seen it twice now.

I spent Christmas week in Oban on the west coast of Scotland. Fantastic driving roads with very little traffic (copped a reprimand from Mrs Imelda on more than one occasion ) and didn't see a single TVR.

Nor did I see one on the drive up there, or on the way back. About 1300 miles and not a single car of any great note. I dunno what's up with you Scots......
