It has been a while!! The car probably looks the same as when you last saw it!! I ve got some good excuses tho!!! Its rolling now all the brakes are done just engine and re wire (just!!) The engine re build has turned into a whole seperate side project
I should be at the Growl on the Sunday so look forward to a chat and catch up, perhaps you can take me for a spin in your Beastie!!??Hi Hamish
Long time no see/speak... in fact I haven't been on here for ages but as I dropped my Griff off at Richard's this morning I happened to see yours. I guessed there might be something about it on here!
Unfortunately I had to take a 'phone call so didn't get to talk to Richard about it but he did lift the bonnet so I could have a look! Impressive stuff! If/when you are next on a track day (can you still get on track with that exhaust?!) please let me know as I'd love to see it driven in anger!!
Best wishes!
Garry

Hi Gary, Has been quite a whil mate
Managed to pin MA down for a RR session next week, so I'll be on the TVRCC trackday at Snetterton on 21st
.
I'll be at castle Combe again on 5th September porsche hunting, and possibly on the 2nd Sept. chasing down TVR's
That's if i havent killed myself by then...Its such a pussycat to drive, you don't realise that you're going 20% quicker than you thought you were until you glance at the speedo.
I can hardly wait for MA to map it properly. The chip he sent down to get it up and running must have been mapped for the Exxon Valdes, its haemorrhaging so much fuel on WOT its outside the scope of the Wideband Lambda.
