Rivergirl, how big is your German Shepherd? My male one is a bit large for a parcel shelf, he weighs in at 42kg (92lbs or 6st 8lbs) and is 72cm (28.3") at the shoulder! He travels in the back of my 4wd with the pair of female golden retrievers I also have. I have put a cargo net between me and them!

Although Roop used to go to some in London in Cheeky, his Cinquecento.
We probably will go to one at some point. I presume they are every month..?
I think so... never been before .. tonight will be my first.. Martvr has given me some details of the Venue etc:
"it's called The Hunters. I assume you know where that is
but if not just ask. About 20:00 is a reasonable time to turn up. David, the
RO is just back from a bit of an illness and is gradually picking up the
reins again. At times it seems like it needs a bit of a push to get things
going but we've got a list of things lined up even if most of them are 'to
be arranged' - such as:
Large screen tellythingy set up at Prescott (hill climb venue) for the
Italian GP and a barbie I think as well.
Treasure hunt but I think really just an excuse for a drive over some good
roads.
Camping, supposed to be this month and nothing arranged yet but maybe
tomorrow.
Access to an old airfield for a hoon around - sometime?????
Hill climbs at Prescott
IMechE lecture on the Speed 12 given by TVR themselves, forget the blokes
name at the moment.
Go Karts, slot cars etc.
You would be very welcome to come along and join in and talk cars (or
probably any subject you like but you'll get more of a response if it is
vaguely related to TVRs, spares, servicing, trackdays ........ you name it)."

Trust you didn't find out the hard way........(!)
She used to start off on the parcel shelf, then creep forwards until on a long trip her nose would be pressed up against the vents at the front. Many a time I have been thankful of the V8 flexibility as I vainly attempted a gearchange with her nose!
kevinday,
She's 23kg, and 24" at the shoulder. She nicely fits the Standard for female GSD's. She looks great sitting in the passenger seat (very cool dog) but prefers to rest on the parcel shelf. I have just bought a proper dog car harness, and will try it out later today
Have dog and TVR, will travel

Well, all you Cheltenham people ... be sure to wave
I lived in Cheltenham for 20-odd years before I moved over to Hampshire in 1999.
My parents and sister still do and Cosmic & I were only down there last weekend.
Unfortunately we had no time in hand to meet up with the Cheltenham PistonHead Massive
, but maybe another time.
