It never fails to amaze!! Taking a steady drive up the A1 today and went past a suped up Skyline. Pulls out behind me and accelerates to my speed. The missus says "Are you gonna play with em?". I'm one of the lucky ones whos other half has resigned to the fact that I'm still a big kid at heart. Its the first time I've put her up against a Skyline and i was more than impressed. Not only did it leave them but I also seemed to be less jittery on the road at high speed. I felt planted while they were moving all over the lane round corners. Yes, there are corners on the A1M at that speed.
Thats Scoobys, Porsches, Skylines, and an evo all humbled. I just can't wait to see what she can do at the Dales run on the 23rd April against other TVRs. Thats the ultimate test!!!
See ya there.

That's what we like to hear. Those Jap boys normally take it in good humour as well (at leats that's what I've found)

I never got to race a TVR in my Skyline.

Probably best for it as I wouldn't want to embarress the British marque, being a fan.

Did embarress a DB7 Vantage not so long ago.

I showed a clean pair of heels to a Bentley Continental GT tonight. Was driving home and was stuck behind a slow mover with the Bentley behind me, a nice long straight opened up and I moved out to overtake as did the Bentley right up my chuff. I floored it in third and watched as the Bentley became a dot in the rear view mirror. Satisfying.

Friend called round Saturday to show me his new 1000cc suzuki super bike and i asked if he wanted to go for a drive, should have heard the noise
it was like a moving explosion still he could'nt get away on the straights though and i was going to give him a burney with the front of my nose but i thought it might have been a bit out of order
should have seen the looks i was getting they was'nt just looking they were pointing especially with my crash helmet on.

Hail the Tuscan, Long live the Tuscan.
