I like it when you pop the roof bars and the rear section falls back under its own weight. (hot enough)
Lovely supple rear screen.
I've come back from a job the long way today and I'm now looking like a lobster biggrin

Yep, I took her out at lunch time for a lovely run with the roof off... to the garage to get the knackered wheel bearing replaced, so no more fun for me until the weekend frown

I got in the car Saturday and got out yesterday. Went to the Coast, the hills and Snetterton. 700 miles in all and well worth waiting for!

You don't need the roof off to enjoy it, but it helps.
P.S.

I was at Snetterton and got really sunburnt.

There was a good turnout of TVRs, all looking great.

We enjoyed the racing and the venue very much indeed.

I was out last night. Does anyone else find that driving with the roof off on a warm night is more enjoyable than in the day? Absolutely fantastic these cars smile

I agree, a fabulous show of TVR's off and on the track,and most of those racing consistently lapping quicker than the Ferraris.

Hopefully taking mine out for a spin in a bit. Just been dropped off by my neighbour who had it in his garage today for an MOT (which it passed!) and fitting new SP12s. Very pleased. Hope the sun's out tomorrow. Have to go to a client's in Leeds, 100 mile round trip (such a shame). Don't normally take the car to work, bit noisy for turning up at clients, but I think I might make an exception for tomorrow ..............

Balls, there goes my plan for taking the car to work tomorrow. Car has been sat in the garage for a few weeks and there was quite a bit of fluid on the floor (which I thought was from the power steering which I know is leeking). Tried to take it for a spin tonight and the clutch pedal is through the floor and I am really struggling to get it into first or second. From reading on PH seems like this is actually clutch fluid, probably master cylinder gone?

goody goody goody - 50 miles to drive to work tomorrow up those pleasant lesser-known by-ways that go by the names of the M3 and A34.







And then 50 miles back smile
