I've only just started reading the latest Sprint (shameful I know!) and obviously went straight to Manfred's article. I'm surprised nobody has commented about it yet.

Maybe it's because I have organised and been on the trips Manfred spoke about so they are a bit special for me, maybe it's because of his excellent photos - the black & whites are pro quality to my eyes - or maybe it's because of Manfred & Harald's attitude to getting out there and experiencing life to the full (probably a bit of all of those things and more)... but I thought the latest "Far Flung TVR" article was excellent.

Great work Jon & Manfred (& Harald on the spanners!) thumbup

Thank you Ian!
Make me happy you like the photos.
Strange feeling reading this massive piece. I have never written something like this before, not even in Swedish!
Can’t wait to show my father this, don’t think I can wait until Christmassmile

Thank you Jon for making this happen and all help writing it!

Only just got around to reading my copy of Sprint. Great article Manfred...it shows the true spirit of the S -Owner (S-Fighter owner) - that's what our cars are all about.

Now we need other articles from you all to keep the Sprint mag disproportionately full of S's..

...always remember the first time I met the crazy Swede on the Spa trip in 2012...and I think you did OK in keeping up with the "More experienced S drivers"... wink

Andy, I have some excellent text from Andrew Henry about the recent S Club "Chasing the dragon" tour of Wales but my requests for photos have not generated any response. I'll try again wink

I've seen that red one somewhere before wink

Looks like the driver needs some lessons in parking. Before you saying anything about mine at least I managed to get it in between two of the lines! biggrin

Maffe is certainly flinging his S around a bit at the moment - he's now on the TVRCC home page as well clap

His 15 minutes of fame seems to be lasting ages! hehe
