I gave mine a little pat on the head and told her how well she had done earlier, its been an excellent weekend.
Im glad i'm not the only one, I tap the dash, roof, boot or wings and say "Good girl" as I smile like a child at christmas who's just got his first bike.I have to say TVR ownership is just like a love affair.
As an aside, for the first time today, since picking her up, I took her on the motorway.
The first time was my first solo drive - it was pi55ing it down, standing water and I wasn't so sure of my investment as to vouch for stability or water tightness.
Today... I was quite mesmorized by how flat and stable she was and although the roof was fully down I was surprised I didn't mind to much! - I've hit some high speeds, but today was the only time I sustained them for any period of time, and was able to relax and take stock of the comfort levels - and I was very impressed. I think at ~70 in 5th this little car could actually be of some use!

A lot of use! Part of the appeal of these little cars is their versatility. I've been driving ours round the country lots over the past few weeks, great little motorway cruiser besides all the other qualities The first time was my first solo drive - it was pi55ing it down, standing water and I wasn't so sure of my investment as to vouch for stability or water tightness.

Great couple of days in my Chim, gorgeous weather.
Similar to what was said above.... When we were stuck in traffic trying to get into Lydden Hill last bank holiday in the heat, I kept tapping the dash, praising her for not overheating and behaving impecibly (unlike some Yank V8's that were misbehaving).
