I was out this weekend in the Tam enjoying the reasonably good weatherdriving, and the noise of the JP sports exhaustthumbup, drove to Swindon, Cheltenham, Cirencester, Bristol, and Bath, and never saw another Tiv. Where are you all. There was the usual number of Audi TT, Porsches, BMWs etc, but no Tivs.

Get those Effin Tivs out on the road shout.

I was out on a 200 mile round trip on Sunday monring, that took in the M4, and lots of raods to the north and west of Bath.

The only other Tiv i saw was on the M4 heading East on my way home. A light blue Chim, driving in the inside lane, with the roof on. eek

As i was making "reasonable progress", i gave him a couple of flashes as i approached, and a cheery wave as i drew alongside - mistake!

Now i know that it is possible that he had recently received bad news, but if that is not the case i find it astonishing that someone driving a Tiv could look so damn miserable. grumpy

Still, i was enjoying the drive cool driving

A lovely red Chim went gracefully from Windsor to Bromley and back... roof down, windows down as every Saturday on my way to play football. Saw no other TVR's either...

I was out on Sunday down to Folkestone 70 miles, yesterday 180 mile round trip to Arundel near Chichester, and today 40 miles Maidstone and back.
Thats about 290 miles and wasn't spotted.
Keeps everything working nicely
