Still the search for an actual TVR owner goes on ...
So I am on 17 years, bought my first a Chimaera in 2004. So now aged 51 means I have owned a TVR for a 3rd of my life.

Any advances on that>

My biggest concern as a multiple TVR owner ( who only polishes top and bottom ) , is that our beloved TVR experts are getting older and more knackered (along with the cars ) . They will not thank me but my mates at X-Works hit 50 and 55 last week !!!!! Dom at Power is no spring chicken . Dave Hankinson and Malc Ashworth have retired from the defunct S&D . Dave & young Chris D&C aren't young lads now smile if they ever were... Mr Giddings and Kath at Poulton are probably the youngest . The guy at Northwich must be getting on now ... For those who know their own inadequacies we need some young blood to maintain our cars ... IMHO
PS and don't refer me to Mr Edgars' Waste Of Time TVR Network frown Edgar has done his best to put them out of business

I’ve owned a TVR for 40% of my life. Although at 40 I am relatively young for this parish.

Yep I remember. Hoping the Cars and Coffee meet at the Old Ram will start back up soon again

The Sag is off to see Mr Smith in a few weeks for a big service so hopefully will be out and about this year

Mmmmm, best add

Don't know you from Adam, for all I know you could be very upset about what's happened, have many animals and love all of them

Do understand how you could be having a real bad time right now and apologise if I've offended you in any way

The above post was a spur of the moment thing

Or squirrels. Just noticed two in the garden....

They will have to go. They decimated our plum tree last year and played havoc with the young apples trees as well.

Managed to trap and rehome 13 last summer so these must be newbies from elsewhere.......

I bought my first TVR in 1980, still have a few so that is 41 years so far. That calculates to being a TVR owner for 61% of my life smile

My understanding is that once caught alive, by law, you cannot release it/rehome it somewhere else. Barbecue anyone?

I have owned only two TVRs over a very short period of just over 4 years in total but I must say they were the most memorable and traumatic motoring years of my longish life.

Really? I read that if you are rehoming them then it has to be at least 2 miles away. We live out in the country and so I took them a couple of miles away and released them in a beautiful wooded area. They will probably thank me!
