Meetup near Banbury, Saturday 27th August
Discussion
Hope you guys got home ok - good to meet up!
I stopped by Halfrauds for new wipers and installed them with lightning, thunder and a monsoon going on all around me!
New wipers are excellent and uneventful drive home.
The only thing that surprised me was the spray pattern behind the Tiv - looked awesome in the rear view mirror
Nosh

Yeah was good to meet you all, no worries about the towel paul, hope you got it back without it getting too wet!
I decided to take mine over to my mates rather than go home and swap cars- i figured it was that wet already it made no difference. In for a penny, in for a pound and 'all that!
Its currently reasonably dry here in Thame so hopefully it stays that way ready for another hour drive home later!
It was surprisingly comfortable driving it the rain though, seemed to keep the rain out and my wipers were excellent. It's like a completely different car driving it with the roof on, very cosy!

It wasnt raining....my app said so, so there.
To be fair it wasnt raining in Thame when I got there, perhaps your app just got a bit 'lost' geographically! I finally got home in the Chim at half-past midnight, certainly covered some miles yesterday and the car behaved impeccably.
It was whilst driving down the M40 in torrential rain, that I decided if it wasnt for me needing an estate car for business, I could definitely use the TVR day in day out, no problem. It's ironic that arguably the most satisfying day's driving ive had out of the car since I brought it occured on the day with the worst weather!
I did manage a single photo whilst we were stood in the rain watching Paul gaffer-tape his rear window... I'll stick it up later. Hopefully next time we'll get better weather for photos and my cousin will be along with all his proper camera kit too
Are any of you guys still letting your Chims out to play in deepest darkest December?
I was only asking as the weather is looking potentially pretty awesome next week- sunny, dry, and cold! Coupled with being off work for the Christmas break I fully intend to make the most of it, I didn't know if anyone else was about and fancied meeting up?
I was thinking Tuesday (27th) morning. I was planning on heading up Banbury way to see my cousin which would inevitably involve him bringing his 5.0 Mustang out if anyone fancied having a butchers at that too!
If the idea has legs, I'll start a new thread

Will be good to see you again Frank, I suspect the weather will actually be a lot better on Tuesday than it was when we all last met up back in August- it would certainly be difficult for it to be any worse!
I've just spoken to my cousin and he's onboard- subject to conferring with his wife, so I'll start another thread for this in the morning, and I might text a couple of the others if we haven't heard anything from them in the meantime.

Just dropped mine off at Neil Garner for its Chassis refurb. Missing it already... the sun shining away today didn't help matters
As soon as I get it back, I'll be out to play
Have a great Christmas.
No worries Paul, that must be painful not being able to just grab the keys and go for a drive! Will be worth it when its done though. Are they fixing the whole in your back window whilst they are at it?! As soon as I get it back, I'll be out to play
Have a great Christmas.
