Delighted to be schooled by a TVR this morning
Discussion
Non TVR owner here, but a long-time fan.
I was very pleased that the driver of a silver blue cerbera (unsure which variant) reacted to my playfulness (driving M135i) and showed me what a proper car can do on a slip road (A40/M40 @ Denham/Uxbridge) at full chat. I was surprised it was as close as it was but he was clearly having way more fun and drama. What. A. Noise.
Desperate to own one at some point

I think that was me.
I was heading down from Gerrards Cross to jump on the M40 at Denham in my silver 4.2.
I think we were together at the traffic lights by the petrol station?
If so it wasn't full chat, just accelerating in 3rd or 4th (the car was just coming up to temp). I'm in Beaconsfield if you ever want to go for a spin ....

I could be wrong, but I am sure the OP wanted to post this to tell us just how fast his super hatch is - against a 15 year old Cerb which, as it turns out, wasn't even on full chat and just warming up.
Could be wrong, though...

I think most of us were thinking that. When driving such as a TVR, you usually discriminate to what/whom you will stoop to conquer.

I'm also pleased that the Cerb is much quicker and that he wasn't trying, because that would've been a dream shattered.

And thank you for not being too mean
I've never been in a TVR whilst on the move so would certainly like to do so at some point.
I wasn't trying to be an arse., its nice to be noticed by people who appreciate these cars. It was a genuine offer if you ever want to go for a spin.....I've never been in a TVR whilst on the move so would certainly like to do so at some point.

Hey mate, we should definitely catchup now the weather is getting better. Is your Cerb back yet? You need to update your username 
Yeah, had her back a couple of weeks now. Maybe we should get the whatsapp going towards the ned of the month. Clocks will be going forward on the 29th so a bit more daylight. As for the user name - i'll need to give that a bit of thought. Gassing Station | Spotted TVRs | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
