Drove my first TVR - Obcession Sealed!!!!
Discussion
The kind and curtious gentleman that is Woolleson, allowed me to take the controls of his lovely facelift 4.0 Chimaera last sunday to take us both upto the Harewood TVR Speed Championship on what was the perfect day for Tivving
I was a bit apprehensive at first with it not being my car and I didnt know how it would handle, but once we set off all was well
I was surprised in every aspect from the way she sounded (sleeved exhaust!!) the way she went, the way she drove and at how at home I felt when driving such a machine
Ive been obcessed by TVR's for some time, but now, my life will not be complete until the day that I get my arse into one of Blackpools finest and go hooning around the countryside with a smile permanantly etched on my much like a mental patient whos escaped the laughing accademy with an excessive stock of LSD and Porscupine Tree in his head
I really owe Mr Woolleson one for allowing me to fullfill another life ambition
And yes, the TVR coathanger smile is constantly stuck on my boat-race
Cheers Woolly

Nice one Scott (and Woolly)
As far as I can make out, there are only three cars in the world (available to mere mortals that is) that can top it ... your first Ferrari, first air cooled 911, and first Lamborghini.
Two I can vouch personally for, the third I'll have to wait and see
Actually Al, your words have rattled something loose in my tiny male mind and now Im starting to see the appeal with italian cars (an unhealthy obcession if ever there was one!)As far as I can make out, there are only three cars in the world (available to mere mortals that is) that can top it ... your first Ferrari, first air cooled 911, and first Lamborghini.

I do aim to own a Ferrari in my lifetime, albeit an older/cheaper one and even if its for 6 months, I'll do it!!
I would like to own a Porsche for a short time, but I love the 928S4
Lambo's are, well, Lambos
Right testicle may go on the block to own one
TVR is still my destiny and one that I cannot deny!
Tim - I did pop up to say hello, but you werent about!
I actually saw a bloke in racing getup floating about the Cerbie when I took some shots and asked him if he was you, but it turns out it was John Cucci
Felt a right tit I did!

PMSL, the idea of John Cucci floating about His Griff was tucked in next to mine in the paddock, you could have followed the noise of tw screaming kids, I would have been with them.
See, you can mix family and racing. Tim

On the racing front, Im currently playing with the idea of me and two friends buying a car and nailing it at various hillclimb/sprints so maybe I will get to race next year
The upside is, if I dont get to race, I can spend a bit more on camera stuff

How be I Jags
.Right foot works ok on the loud pedal then now its time to get some corn and find a Tiv every day that goes by is another lost and not retrievable.
Howdo Sen18 long time no see, good to see you're well!.Right foot works ok on the loud pedal then now its time to get some corn and find a Tiv every day that goes by is another lost and not retrievable.Every day that goes by might irretrievable, but the suspense it builds is insurmountable until the day I realise my dream
The best things come to he who waits
In my case, Ive got no sodding choice
