I hardly see any other TVRs.
Any of you guys in the TVRCC and go to the monthly meets in Caerloen?

Recently had to rejoin the TVRCC after a few years for insurance purposes (no other reason). Don't go to the monthly meeting, but am a 'silent lurker' on the S Wales TVRCC yahoo group!!! They seem to organise a lot of things esp. trips abroad.

Me too! One guy I met, thru PH I think, said he went to the meet one month but hasn't been back - he was expecting everyone to be outside under bonnets etc. but it wasn't quite like that.
I've not been yet due to working abroad during the week, but might give it a shot when/if I get a local job.

Cheers

Probably too busy working out where the next drive out somewhere is going to be.

Yeah,
I've been to a few TVRCC meets near Caerleon - was also hoping for a bit more mechanicals in the car park / discussion of modifications etc , rolling road sessions but there's mostly only interest in driving out to places (I do this every day in mine!).
Maybe mine's the blue chim that was spotted in Pontyclun? I work near there. Anybody else drive round there every day?
Cheers

I attend the TVRCC meet at Caerleon most months. While the main talk as a group is often about forthcoming events,and drives, if you talk on a one to one basis, then the subject tend to be cars.
There is a lot of knowledge in the group. The cars range from a 1600m which is featured in TVR books to Cerbs and Tuscans. Two of the members own garages and rebuilt tivs. I have a Wedge and a Taimar which I am gradually refurbing.

I drive around pontyclun/miskin most days as I work from home, but in my daily driver (Honda). Did we excahnge waves at the end of last summer by the Castlell Mynach lights?? That day I was in my dark green Chim!!!

I'd definately be interested in a rolling road session organised by the S Wales TCRCC. I think the 'nova boys' arrange such a meeting at the rolling road garage in Abercynon.

I'm west wales, but there isn't a west wales forum (probably because there's only about 3 other Tiv's in the region!!) so thought I'd say hi on this one!

Live in little New Quay on the west coast.

there was a black Cerbera on Caerphilly Mountain yesterday and there's a guy near me who used to have a purple Cerbera but I think he's got a turquoise Tuscan now. I don't know, these TVR's all look the same to me. LOL!

If the cerbie was a black 4.5 & no plate PHIL something, he lives down my road.

Wonder if he's on here?

It used to have the plate AJP --

Yeah, that rings a bell. I quite often come in that way if the weather is bad or traffic problems on the back roads. When will the Chimaera be back out then?
