Very nice car this morning itsallyellow, but I did kinda think you spun it a bit too easily comming out of that roundabout . Seems like your having a lot of fun in the car.

Did yellow peril have adjustables on that car? I believe she had nitrons, and if so I would be softening up the damping a good number of clicks on the rear end of your car in this weather.

I followed you in and had to hit brakes mid corner, with no obvious loss of grip to show for it, so I think unless you had heavy foot on the accelerator problem you need to adjust your stiff rear end.

Happy trails

Don't be embarrissed, I was sitting in a highly desirable sportscar and thinking, damn, why am I driving this piece of crap, the one day this week I didn't bring my Cerb out

Considering the spin, you didn't hit anything did you. You were in no danger as their were no cars following you, You'd made sure of that up the hill

And behind you was one of the few Cerb owners who advocates sticking the back out on routine journeys as part of a learning process. In actual fact you caught the first flick beautifully but possibly overcorrected and the tail flicked back the other way.

Nothing there was embarrissing or dangerous, if I'd have hit you which was highly unlikely it would have been my fault not yours. I couldn't help think though, bloody hell the tail on that Cerb went quick.

Not embarrassing at all my good man - we all know those Yellow Cerbs pack a few extra punches than any other colour Cerb

Yellow ones come with banana skin handling. Explains why I keep spinning my race car.

Its the SE London & NW Kent TVRCC meet on Sunday lunchtime at The Rose & Crown, London Road, Dunton Green.

We get anything up to 40 TVR's there at a time, but average 20 to 30.

This is of course assuming that most of the locals have recovered from new years eve celebrations. If the weathers ok we will probably go for a spin (excuse the pun!)

Otherwise we tend to sit in a circle & talk bollox - but we're good at that.

Please come along - it would be good to see you.
