David, thanks for your post. I'm not too worried as I went to the Sportscar Show last year so know what to expect. Still nice to hear from someone with experience of organising this kind of stand though!
Cheers........ Andrew

Andrew,

I'll try and catch you on the stand on the Saturday because I've yet to have a good look at a Tamora - Flasher buggered off before I got a chance to meet him at PH2 and I don't like my local dealer (personal experience only, they may be wonderfull).

Cheers,
JSG.

JSG, OK, I plan to be there all of the Saturday so I'm sure we can meet up. If I'm not on the Stand I won't be too far away as it'll all be in one hall.
Cheers........ Andrew

I will be there Saturday and Sunday with my Chimaera offering Dreamrides with the Sporting Bears.
My other half is also contributing this year with her 2002 Mini, you can't miss it as it BRG with a Union Jack Roof.
The following weekend we are off to Laon and Folembray with the Bears for a 5 day event / track-time.

Is anyone using their car for the super car rides? (like last year) - can I get an advanced booking reduction on a ride.

I have my Tuscan in the porting Bear rides - also there will be something worth having a look at on the TVRCC stand and it will not be blue!

Oh and all cars will be locked on the stand - anyone working on the stand will have eyes of a hawk and strength of a bear - just in case.

Last year my car had only ben on the road for hours -collected from dealer at 12.30 and driven straight to NEC - and came to no harm.

S6 TFT: Was your Tuscan in the car park on Sunday? I think it was yours that I had to stop next to on my way out an ogle over. Then I had to kick myself for forgetting my camera. Doh!! Was definately the same colour (beautiful by the way) and an S6 *** plate.

Anyone else see the vectra done up to look like a touring car complete with rollcage buckets etc in the car park? Or the horrible grey one with what looked like home made body kit and whale tail and four massice spot lights? Made me anyway.

Yes I was in the car park on Sunday. Did teh Sporting Bears on Saturday - enjoyed it very much but could not risk doing Sunday as well!

How well did I do on the Sprint bit ? It was a bit short!

Concerns voiced on this thread about exhibited TVRs were mercifully unfounded. Public showed much interest and enthusiasm, and I didn't see, or hear, of any member of the public taking liberties.

Being on the stand was completely knackering, but most enjoyable.

Other that the one idiot who reached in and turned all the lights on/off a few times there was nothing to worry about!

S6? Were you the Chameleon Blue Tuscan that arrived at 9.30 on Sunday morning?

gb61390 your car is very nice and no I didn't touch it! Nacnud were you on the TVRCC stand? I really should get a PH fleece or hat or something so people can spot me!

Yes - that was my SEAC on the TVRCC stand with it's wheels off.

I wore a PH polo shirt on Sunday. Surprisingly few people spotted it or asked what PH was. However, it was nice to meet those of you that introduced yourselves.

S6 was the Tuscan arriving at about 9:30, I was his passenger! I think that by being late, S6 was reducing the temptation to take part in Sunday's potentially license losing antics.

Just uploaded my NEC report to the Bristol region website at http://go.to/tvrbristol

Christof - sorry, no Tuscan R. Speed 12 was rather tasty though.
