Did 1000 miles in the Tiv earlier in the summer around Scotland and thought I would post a few photos. Absolutely loved it and not one hiccup.

Yup silicon sealed it on to get rid of the leaks. It actually rained so much I only managed to get it off for a day and a half.

Good old Scottish weather.

I don't believe the pics were taken in Scotland. I'm sure I noticed sun and blue sky in most of them, but that's not the Scotland I know and love....... wink






Seriously, great pics, I just love driving our Tamora around the north west Highlands. A fabulous area, rain or shine.

We went up over the August bank hols and did 2000+ miles in the 6 days that we were up there and we even managed to have the roof OFF for 2 of those days. It was an amazing trip and even managed to get our first spotted since owning the car (2006) up there cloud9

Thanks guys for the comments. Took the TVR up to Aberdeen yesterday to pick up my girlfriend and the Tapping of the top end has started. Oh well at least I got a good summer out of it and 8500 miles in 10 months.

Now the open heart surgery begins on the wallet.

Already has Gaz gold adjustables. ACT air box is on the wish list. Thinking Red Rose upgrade and maybe even the Raceproved preoiler.

Too many choices.
