Nice pictures, as always Ben!

There's talk about you on the German Subaru forum. They especially admire the Tuscan.

Hansgerd, you keep away from that Subaru forum

They will steal your soul and you will end up driving a WRX

No worries, I can live with that temptation and still resist it.

Talk about me? In what way? My comments about the decision to stick with the S2k?

No, just about the TVRs in general which were at the Ring last weekend. Were there some TVRs in your group ?

The blue 350 was mine and Skyline with the carbon bonnet was my bros.

We arrived on Fri and left on the best day Monday, we had a great time being about 14 of us in various evos and scooby doos.

Found the track quite intimidating until I got to remember where it went after that really enjoyed myself. I soon learnt not to take on the locals in the Porsches, M3s, and M coupes!!

We had 1 scooby do a piston and another had its front wheel bearings go. My T350 never missed a beat and proved to be considerably faster on the Autoroute than all the Evo's and Scoobys of which some were meant to be over 350 BHP. Only my brothers Skyline was faster but it has 750 BHP and was registering 190 mph at the end of the straight at the ring!!

AhHa - pleased to meet you! Must say though I didn't spot the Pistonheads sticker on the 350 or I would have come over and have said hello.

It did look fantastic out there - VERY unique and extremely quick!
