I think you will find the workers will be very appreciative, and hopefully it will show NS what tvr is all about if not then you will see what NS is about..
It is quite possible that 'never has a true'r word been said in gest'
However, maybe his managers should also be included ?
This is important and I am sad I cannot be there because of clinical commitments. I hope as many as possible will make it.
It seems to me that the brand loyalty of TVR owners has always been underestimated and poorly exploited by the company. NS never seemed to get it, though I am told he showed signs of understanding at the last 'Back Home' (by when the possibility of outsourcing production must have already been developed). I don't think PW used the connection to the owners or the TVRCC very well either, but then he gave us the product we wanted - even if we had to do the development on the first year's production of each new model!
It would be great to demonstrate how strongly many UK TVR owners feel about the betrayal of the workers and Blackpool by the company. I am not a nationalist, indeed I am strongly pro-European, BUT the reason I bought TVR was because it was uncompromising in design, performance and Britishiness (the best of it mostly). As I said to a Z3M owner at the 'Ring recently, yours Messerschmidt mine Spitfire - he wasn't insulted AND he knew what I meant. Italian TVR's - phooey, give me a Maser, an old Lambo, over here all that's left for me now is Classic Cars, because there are no truly British new sportscars left
(only written to provoke Morgan and Ginetta owners etc and BossCerb and his admiration of the new Marcos)
Let the Russian and the Oxleys know what we really think about the last six months of deception and bad management, CwC will be with you in spirit!

I may have a spare seat Dave if you can get to Glossop
Yeah that's me problem
. Need to make an 'arrangement' to take the day off, too. 
Err .............. sorry Dave. There might be a change of plan. The wife has managed to get a day off and she wants to go. Its times like this I wish I had a Cerb.
No worries, Dave.. still wondering if I should even *try* and get a day off.. Need to review my Friday timetable hehe. Did get an offer of a lift from the kind chap with the 350i, though
but as I say probably won't be able to make it. Although I suppose without a Tiv myself it won't have much impact either way!

Dave, knowing that you support this is enough matey. You, and other others like you, are the TVR owners of the future. All we are trying to do is make sure that TVRs are around when you are able to buy one. I'm crap at putting things into words, but you know what I mean.
DON'T JEPERDISE (SP?) YOUR EDUCATION!!!!!!!!!!! And, by the way, it doesn't matter if people turn up in a TVR or a bloody Transit.
