Thanks David

Is that you car at the autosports show at the nec?? Didnt get to have a close look at the picture but it looked like yours. See you at Chatsworth and Griff Growl but sadly had to cancel the Classic which is a major bugger.

No that's a nice 4.3 with a much shinier engine than mine.

Yes see you at Chatsworth and the Growl.

Mac can't thank you enough for the heads up reference Craig he is a first class block who is well respected her and in the US. Dealing with him was great and we had no major problem with getting all the part cheaply and quickly from the US.

When I drove the car last week the engine sounded sweet and it started on the button every time no smoke and oil issues a proper job.

Get well enough for Cornwall we will do anything to get you down there matey...no pressure just want quality company...it's in caravans...see the wwmtvrcc forum..or we can talk...in fact that is long overdue..

[GTRene]

those wheels make the car looks much younger, also a nice update, but euh...engine terminal? is it broken?

Steve sadly I think that about the time I will have just had the operation or will have justed started recovery. If my last recovery is anything to go by I was as sick as a dog for 4 months and venturing out was very difficult. Chatsworth set me back by weeks and doctors were very pissed off with me but it was brilliant and would have missed it for the world. Had a couple of moments at Tag and Martin Pett who is a complete legend had to look after me and he did a brilliant job. Still they may operation much sooner at this stage just don't know and trully hope things happen quickly. I will keep you all posted as and when things happen.

Rene sadly engine covered less than 1000 miles when it became clear we had a major problem. The original engine build washed his hands of any responsibility. however it became clear that he just wasn't very good at building engines. It was at the time we where introduced to Craig at DynoTorque who saved the day and rebuilt us a very good engine as he is a total professional. However we have moved happy days.

That is Steve Wilsons Chimaera and it has an amazing paint job that is stunning up close. I am sure Steve will not mind me saying that car is used in all weathers and all year round a well used and abused TVR as all TVR's should be!

Thanks Wyn love your pic's I also once had a Tasmin very like D615 and if I had deeper pockets would still have it in the garage..
