With it being Autumn and living by fields the annual rodent migration is underfoot so when I read your post I naturally saw ‘look out for mice’ as that is the main reason for me to not leave a car standing for more than a couple of weeks over winter.

You can imagine my slight confusion when I then read that they wait at roundabouts to jump into your car? rofl
Think yourself lucky you don't have Glis Glis in your area they did 3 hundred pounds of damage to my 3 sons cars (wiring) during lockdown and chewed out a dinner plate size from the underbonnet sound deadening in my BMW little fkers. We even found one in the dishwasher (alive)

Thanks all. TVR called it Olympic Blue, someone told me it is actually a Vauxhall colour Arden blue i think.

I have just had the drive resurfaced with a very light coloured resin bound finish and choose the colour as it would enhance my car pics smile
Heres mine, we have the same taste in wheels!

Agreed, but the car still needs to be well set up too, Str8six do all the work on mine (rather well). Have a look at these two T350s from the classifieds, the first one looks awful, a disaster to be presented like that. The second is a Str8six car

Looks like the first car is parked on a slope.

The T350 came as standard with spider wheels with elastic bans for tyres, so I doubt the alternative wheels fitted actually
make much difference.

I think he is referring to the ride height?
The top one is on stilts relative to the bottom one.
I am not saying that the lower ride height is necessarily correct, far too many TVR owners lower their cars too far and affect the aerodynamics at speed, but the top one does appear too high to my eye.

it only looks like that because the NSF wheel is down a dip.

Is that the 4.5 that has been for sale for a while? If so, it was very much on my list to view before we brought our Halcyon Atlantis one- I was very keen but my wife had mostly vetoed it on the basis of the colour not being loud enough! hehe
