Wave to our call centre people down there as you go past. They are in the big building on the right at the set of lights on the A361 as you come in.

Thanks!

Damn!
Flat battery....
Stalled in the garage, flooded; 3 hours plus all plugs out to get firing.
Then finally a coolant hose decided to let go all over the manifold - bodge - bodge - bodge......

Still made it to the show - but too late to go in

However, picked up American TVRCC member Mike Chapman and we (me plus Mark in a Griff 500) took him for a decent blast across the Somerset Levels, Cheddar Gorge and a decent country pub before depositing him back at his hotel in Bristol.
So it wasn't an entirely wasted day.

Sorry to have missed everybody - I'm sure I'll see you all later this year.
Till then - Cheers

Great bit of planning, and a good day out.

Sorry if the S was a bit noisy, it's off back to Peninsula to be de-louded

Thanks again for a good choice of route.

Cheers

Graham

Btw - How was Zig-Zag hill?

Can a TVR be too noisy ? - I thought the misses was going to get some fluffy ear defenders .

I didn't give it large up the hill however felt the back end move about a couple of times. Had a very interesting moment with a vauxhall - He pulled out on me whilst overtaking him and a Merc (45mph in an NSL FFS - Sunday drivers !) - manouvre, signal, mirrors in his case !

I'm pleased you enjoyed the route. How many times did you ground out on the way back ?

Many thanks Bob. Good route and most enjoyable drive. I thought that I might be left trailing miles behind, but no worries. Nice one Bob.

I thought the idea of going as a group was to keep together . I did my best to keep everybody in sight however I admit I was enthusiastic at times and yourself and the Griff swapping places a few times did confuse me a bit . Pleased you enjoyed the run.
