Some one will be grinning ear to ear this weekend, and what a weekend to drive. Loved my T350, enjoy.

ENJOY!

I got my T350 from str8six, the first few minutes will seem surreal, well it did for me, but you'll love it!

Knowing that you have the most unique car on the road and how it makes you feel will be bloody amazing!

I don't think I put my foot flat to the floor for about 2 weeks in! Even know when I do it my heart races!

You'll love it!

You need to post some pics up though, that's just standard!

I assume you're asking me? But no, I bought mine 2 1/2 years ago, mine is blue with standard wheels. Jason is a great guy though, you'll be looked after.

That's the one! BMW Samoa blue. I've not actually seen it in the metal so to speak - just photo's. But I'll have to post up a couple of pics when I get it back up north. Glad to hear it looks good! I've been assured that it's fantastic smile

Long drive down south to pick it up though Sandy!

I'm actually around Biggar - but would definitely be up for a meet up north of Glasgow. You kindly offered to show me around your T350 a couple of months ago when I was still looking.

I've (literally) just got back home! The car is superb and behaved faultlessly on the 350ish mile journey home - but these sort of machines seem totally wasted on the motorway. I'm very pleased with it and have to take the opportunity to say a big thank you to Str8six, as the car is a real credit to them. In particular to Jason for going all the way to Germany to pick the thing up, but most of all to Chas for all the time and effort he's put in to helping me out and actually getting me into the car and coming in on both Saturday afternoon and Sunday for me to pick it up - it's much appreciated and really shows why these guys have the reputation that they do!

The reason for the above pantomime is because my bank wouldn't release my funds on Saturday and required me to make a further 220 mile return journey to Str8six on Sunday to try again - successfully after my wonderful wife spent some time on the phone to them. Now it would probably be very poor form to say which bank treated their customers in such a shoddy way - so I wont tell you that it was the co-op in case you were considering banking with them.

The car itself looks, goes and handles just like I wanted and I imagine that the colour is pretty unusual on a TVR too as it's a BMW one. I took a couple of quick pictures on my phone when I pulled up, but in the half light they just don't seem to do it justice so I'll go out next weekend and take some good 'uns if the weather stays nice - incidentally it's much better up in Scotland this weekend, and about time too!
