Not only was the entire weekend great weather for TVRs but it has run on into the working week too! Roof down to work this morning and am now looking out of the window at it sitting there with the roof still down ready for the run home.

Never fails to get me to the office in a good mood, roll on Summer biggrin

O/T: fun nearly spoiled yesterday on the M23, when an Audi failed to spot that we were stationary and only my pulling into the hard shoulder as I watched him approach in my rear view avoided one dead Chimaera. He didn't even acknowledge any of it either!

Presumably he managed to stop before piling into whatever was in front of you? I've often wondered whether the low-slung nature of the Chim makes it rather invisible to people more used to seeing larger stuff on the road.

The moment I pulled over he was alongside under hard brakes, and as I had left a reasonable gap between me and the car in front he did (only just) manage to stop before colliding. Fortunately it was stop/start traffic so he wasn't going at full speed, but probably 50+ mph

Oggs I know what you mean and I was tempted, but the TVR won in the end.

Combination of narrow road and some corner cutting by the guy coming the other way frown

"Just popping out for some milk!"
2 hours and a tank of V-Power later - "damn, forgot the milk..."

Sound familiar?
