You're definately on the right track. At least the car won't nag you when you've been out for too long (or maybe that's because you'll be out with the car!)

Welcome to the fold and look forward to the pics

It has taken a few months for me to get used to the car,and I used to have a Porsche.
It will continue to delight and reward me the better I get. I hope it does the same for you.

Saw you at Oulton - I was the numpty pedestrian in the dodgy hat that hesitated when you letting people cross in front when the last race was over!! Fab looking car as well - is that a saddle and butterscotch interior? - we looked at one last September/October in the classified and dreamt a bit!

Melvin - vice RO will take the next meet as we may have another commitment - it is ALWAYS the first Sunday of Every month - the next whizz out will be a trip to Loton Park (Nr Shrewsbury) for the Hill Climb - lots of fellow TVR's spectating AND participating

If you need any help/support in between - drop us a mail and we will call you.

Regards

Coach
