Hi folks,

Sat here in deep dark Somerset waiting for a customer to open and I've been pondering again.

What are your, if any, TVR related New Year's resolutions. I have but two:

1. Get the sticking throttle sorted, revised ACT linkage on order.
2. Get the car back to the mappers for a final fiddle and use the thing as much as possible thumbup

Over you you chaps smile

Getting a new dashboard. Mine's done the walnut veneer cracking thing frown Not sure whether to replace the walnut with new walnut or go for something like carbon fibre. I've got a biscuit dashboard top, with a tan interior everywhere else.

Also I'd like some new wheels. But not sure where to begin with them...

After a horrible year resulting in four months sat in Power's workshops and a bill only slightly less than America's national debt our ambition is just drive, drive, drive and then drive some more. Got to do 1000 running in miles soonest (shame) then back for final mapping and to have the running-in restrictions taken off. Then a tour of Scotland, one of the south east including Goodwood Festival, and lots more besides.

Finally upgrade from the 4.0l to FI or 5.0l etc. I've been thinking and talking about it for too long smile

Long story but the weaknesses of a very poor build were found, but not caused, by the fitment of a supercharger. Engine now rebuilt by different people (Dom and Co) and Kate nearly fit for purpose once again :-)

Do more TDs and sprints.

Persuade more of you guys to take part and open the taps like they were designed for!

Fit and upholster a pair of carbon fibre seats that I have.

No more upgrades just a little paint work and tidying.

To run a 10.5 second 1/4 mile is all i want.

A couple of cosmetics and then enjoy my first summer of driving my first TVR. Looking forward to going to a few meets and showing the car off.

Get electric PS fitted then drive the thing.
(Non PS is murder at slow speeds so have decided on balance it needs sorting.)
Opinions will be divided, I know, but it's my car, etc, etc.
