Did you know the Chim isnt a soft top?!

[edo]

Applied to go down to Goodwood on Sunday, got:

Thank you for your pre-registration confirming that you intend to come to SOFT TOP SUNDAY - 05/05/2013.

Given the theme this Sunday, your car unfortunately does not directly fit the appropriate display parameters. However, we feel that your car will be of interest in its own right to the attendees on the day, and as such we are delighted to give you the opportunity of parking within the collector’s car area on the Outer Perimeter of the Motor Circuit.

Oh well!

Tis true though.

Are they being pedantic due to the targa panel, or clueless?!

[2 sMoKiN bArReLs]

Presumably a soft top has, er, a soft top?

[Alun450]

Thats barmy, a soft top is soft and comes down, so does ours, with the roof off ours is soft top ain't it! oh well least they say you can still park.

Are you saying a Chim is a softop?? Learn something new everyday.

[edo]

Symantecs I suppose.

I always assumed a softop was a generic term for a convertible, which I would have thought a Chim / Griff was..

[V8Bart]

LOL, since no one has ever seen a chimp with the roof down its understandable.


I for one thought they looked like a drop top but were in fact fixed

What has anti virus got to do with this?

I think Convertible is the correct terminology

Probably failed on the sunroof test - you can't fit a sunroof in a soft top

Odd. There have been TVR's there previously. Check this thread for photos of a green Chim and orange Griff at 2011 event:

Also green Chim on page 4, blue Griff on page 5.


Someone has made a slight mishtake I think.

And a 355 GTS on page 5, definitely not a soft top!

All the breakfast clubs i have attended i`ve just turned up, never "applied"
Its a farce if they won`t let a Tiv in, when the track will be full of chaved up MX bl00dy 5`s

Wow, was rammed. Chaos. Even registered cars couldnt get in the main entrance at one point. Never seen it so busy.

Only at breakfast club would you see a £200k Mclaren parked next to a Cortina 1,3L convertible!
