Joolz fitted an Emerald.

MS has gone to a Chim owner now.

Nice. I missed that. Any extra power?

[phazed]

No extra power but smoother lower in the rev range.

New manifolds may give additional power. We will see.....

[Matthew Poxon]

Very nice Peter.

Ok I’ll be first to be laughed down, if those manifolds line up at the ports well and with the extra flow characteristics these should promote I’ll say
7 hp or more and and the same again for the torque.
10 to 15 world prove some things very much so.

I thought this was a secret,,, or is that just for the missus

My fingers are firmly crossed but maybe at 380 odd Peters already maxed out

[phazed]

Shhhhhh

Sorry Peter, I've not been following this closely enough... you now have a new ECU and headers or are they the existing ones in that pic?

[AutoAndy]

great day as it cleared up today...waiting...

I put it up on TVR parts on PistonHeads last night as well as my ACT Y piece.

We will see how it goes otherwise I'll get my daughter to put it up but really, do I have to do!

Sadly it seems so.
Someone will see it sooner or later

Borrowed my wife's skirt and put the Y piece up on Faceache for Peter - it sold in 24 hours on the TVR Buy and Sell Group.

For the non-Faceache user, if you are a member of any group on Faceache, and there are loads of them for TVRs, anything posted notifies you as soon as you log in. Hence if anything comes up for sale, everyone in the group is notified....whereas you have to make a positive effort to remember to go and look at PH Classifieds from time to time

Shame one cannot post a video on here - I have a nice 9 second clip of 4 TVRs roaring past the cafe at Cadwell Park yesterday.

...load it to something like YouTube and post the link.

[phazed]

A nice pair.

[QBee]

The sun ain’t got his hat on,
It’s on the car instead,
As we gave up on Burleigh,
Car washed, and put to bed.

[phazed]

What a real shame Anthony.

[QBee]

Went for a couple of hours, lovely cars as always but only about 200. New Griffith turned up - so much nicer in the flesh and an awesome soundtrack.

Bloody hell, Chimaeras even look great in silver.......

[TR4man]

They certainly do.

It's a Mercedes colour Brilliant Silver.

Although yesterday's weather at Burghley was possibly not the best to showcase any colour!

I think I would have collected a few more stickers on a trip as long as Ben's:



He must be far more discerning than I.

I really enjoyed Ben's presentation this evening at the GMMC TVR Meet. A packed room was enraptured by the tale of his epic journey: I've never known that lot so quiet for longer than 15 minutes before. That in itself was a remarkable achievement by Ben.

Well done mate!

Thanks Glen, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was great meeting everyone; what a fantastic group of people!

I'm pacing myself on the sticker front - I've still got 2/3rds of the boot to fill on future trips. No point peaking too soon, right?!

...and as it's the random photo thread, here are some pictures from the GMMC meet:
