Hello,

Not long been the owner of a Chimaera doesn't seem to be many of us in London. I am in Highbury if anyone fancies forming a convoy in the upcoming good weather.

Cheers

Definitely, but not for a while . On the other hand I can be an enthusiastic passenger and excellent navigator to some of the meets.

I'm in Finchley BTW.

Look forward to it,

This weekend is out as its my birthday so don't think I will be legal to drive until next Tuesday.

Do you use the TVR Centre in Finchley for servicing and maintenance? I went for a couple of test drives witht those guys and they seemed pretty helpful. Obviously trying to get me to part with a serious amount of cash had something to do with it as well.

I've found them to be excellent, if a little pricey. Once I'm out of warrantee I may be tempted away due to the cost, but they are always a good source of info and help.

That'll be Tower View. They also have a very good reputation (and are cheaper I believe). On the other hand they are independent, so you can't get your service book stamped (althought looking at the website, I may be wrong about this).

Not too worried about the service book. Think I will use TVR power in Cov for that. I work in in Brum 2 days a week and a lot of my friends are up in Leicester. Will give tower view a look though as I need the chassis cleaning and waxoyled and have a few other niggles. I want sorting.

Are there many meetings in this next of the woods haven't joined the TVRCC yet?

There's the Ace Cafe/Middlesex Region (first Friday of the month). I frequent the Mid-Essex (second Sunday) and South-East London and North-West Kent (first Sunday) meets.

There are others around (often mid-week). See the TVRCC Website for details/contact numbers.

The RO's for the above regions are all on here.
Middx: Griffmeister
Mid-Essex: Yellow Peril
SE London & NW Kent: ncs

I'm sure they'd all welcome an e-mail from you.

Hi Billybig

Only just found this thread. I'm down the road in Islington - between Islington and Old Street. I'll keep an eye out for you!

I take my Chim to David Batty for servicing - he's miles away (Guildford), but is considerably cheaper than any TVR dealer. In fact she's booked in for a 12,000 mile service on the 15th June.

If you need any assistance with anything, or just fancy a hoon around - give me a shout (you can mail me via my profile).

Cheers,
Ropey

Salty,

Just found your reply. I am in Crouch End a fair bit, drop me an email if you fancy going for a blast at the weekend sometime.

Ropey,

Do you fancy giving it another go this weekend?

Will

Sorry, just found this one again - rarely check the London threads. Sorry Billybig, wouldn't have been able to do this weekend anyway.

And I'm afraid if you fancied a threesome , I'm off to France this weekend, for a week of driving around the north of France.

Will give you a shout when I'm back.

Have fun!
