TAG11 ended on the back of a truck for me....

[Don1]

After a combined 7 years of TVR ownership, something finally went wrong. The alternator has died, so it's in at Racing Green.... I wonder how much more money I can spend there? I understand their new extra engine upgrade was unveiled today...Hmmmmmm.....

[Targarama]

Is the magic fuse still intact?

[Don1]

Yep.... More's the pity!

[DonkeyApple]

That wasn't your recovery truck in the car park at around 4pm?

I'd spent a lovely day there with a mate. After a two hour drive home and now sitting in the garden waiting for the BBQ he is still chuckling.

[Don1]

No, didn't even get to TAG! Caught between Petersfield and Midhurst....

Looks good - goes well then?

[blackiepaul]

Got any pics don?

[Don1]

Waiting...

The car looks good - shame it did not make the journey. Yep a much better way of holding the bonnet, it was at racing green that I saw catches like that.

Paul, I saw your Sagaris yesterday... Looks nice

[Don1]

Cheers - real shame, but hey ho.

As for the catches, I'd prefer them to be sanded and body coloured, otherwise they just stand out like balls on a dog....

[Don1]

Hopefully in the Sag, but we'll see what happens with RG... More work may be 'needed'.... <ahem>

If not, then I'll be there in something else!

That's a stunning colour. Really suits the car.

[Targarama]

Those bonnet catches look interesting. Might be useful on the T350 too, it flaps around at high speed.

btw, nothing looks better than a TVR on a low loader! Think of it as a fashion parade.

[Don1]

Cheers Tim. I know greys are a bit 'weapon-ish', and I was going for an orange one, but I saw it and fell in love/lust... Hopefully we'll catch up on the roads soon.
Kieran, I'll be running with the PN crew up there - you in with us, or with another group?

[piquet]

the sag at racing green with those clips is mine, i really like them as a function, the only way to improve them in my opinion would be for them to be metal rather then plastic, it does make getting the whole bonnet off stupidly easy

[Don1]

Hello there Paul - did RG do those clips? I can't remember if they are flush on the body - that and body coloured would be my preference.

[piquet]

they're very slightly raised from memory maybe a couple of mm, the conversion was done before i got the car so i'm not sure who did it. The plastic itself is a hard abs kind, i can see no reason why it couldn't be sanded smooth and then painted body colour. The car is at racing green at the moment until i pick it up next week so feel free top have a look and get them to show you how it works

[stainless_steve]

If you watch the video it says they can be painted,also they do one that is more flush bonded under the bonnet

[clive f]

there was a trader selling those clips at goodwood, £49 each I think, but can`t for the life of me remember who it was, lol.

Ah, think it was a classics something or other, also selling wooden steering wheels, car covers and wing protectors.
