Meanwhile in deepest Florida...
Discussion
I was at a show in Orlando last week, when I noticed a guy riding round on a sort of motorised wheel chair. Attached to the back of it was a sign that read:
My other car is a TVR. This is more reliable.
Not really what you expect to find in an exhibition dominated by all-A-merkin dragsters and oval racers!
I had a chat with him and it turned out he had a 2500M. Hello again, if it's anyone on here.

Nah, this guy was fairly normal sized. It is a HUGE show as well. Think a couple of times the size of the BMS - my feet were aching at the end and I'm a relatively athletic twenty-something.
Was interesting to visit the states for the first time. The Americans (well, Floridians), on the whole, seem to be really lovely people. Also most of them, at least in my age group, are thinner and better looking than us. However they seem to come in two groups and there were a small but idenitifiable minority (usually older) who fitted the less favourable Southern stereotypes perfectly. For example, a couple of people didn't understand why my South African colleague wasn't impressed by their complements on his country's historical treatment of the black population.
On the whole though, the people and the country were both nicer than in London...

Forget Peter Kay....... This guy's a genius
Did you get his number ? He might have a whole host of comedy nuggets waiting to spill out.
ETA.... He didn't have a White van outside with "Clean me" on it, did he ?
