We all know most of you like to teach the non TVR drivers whos got the beastiest car, but do any of you ever have razz ups with fellow TVR drivers on th road. (This is not including people you know). I personally dont, just curious.

Nope never done it and probably wont either - got a Chimaera 4.0 and therefore not the fastest! Just not worth it... Did have a raz up the A14 against Marshy when he had a 5.0 and conclusively lost...

Mind you, one chap in Griffith 5.0 who stormed past me on the A11 last year probably needs his head seeing to.. It was CHUCKING it down and I was doing 90 - and he flew past at probably 125 or more.... you might want to try a little slower next time - the armco on the A11 can be nasty you know.

Cheers,

Paul

You could never fully exploit the performance of a TVR on a public road. We all like to play now and again with lesser machines porkers etc but you really could end up doing some absurd speeds and when Mr gets you and you have been to see the it would just end in .

But dont let me spoil your fun!

It certainly was blue - think it might have been T but cant remember. Did I mention that it was dark also? Said hello at a petrol station and commented on the nice colour. Somewhat suprised to see him storm past at such speed....

Dont need to prove anything to me - I know that its faster...

Cheers,
