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.......

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

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!

Another couple here. They normally use the back garden as a shortcut but have been stopping and digging. The cat scarer water cannon has been encouraging them to move a bit faster.

In a moment of sad reflection, it is with a heavy heart that I have to tell you that the bloody bd heron landed on the netting covering my pond and still managed to take one of my little golden friends.

He leaves behind 13 siblings.

Sad news

Rest in beak

Amen

Phew

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

lol - OK think you qualifies as "a owner and enthusiast"

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 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 Edgar has done his best to put them out of business

Bring back Moleskins - he must be in his twenties by now

If I had owned my cars one at a time I would have been at primary school when I had the first.

If anyone knows why I bothered to post this let me know.

Boredom, lack of places to go etc.

Apart from a track day I did on Wednesday I rarely use my cars. Sad really.....

Did the car behave.

I’m like this,, I’m demotivated thinking I’ll have nowhere to go for another year anyway. Just a local cafe or beauty spot rather than full on days out mixing it with the masses so in true Tvr fashion I’ll use the time wisely to take it apart again and have fun that way.
Tvr the car that never stops giving

Brilliantly!

Just got to sort out a bit of ARB Jiggery-pokery.

Front inner wheel was spinning up on every bend, even at 80mph.

Limited slip differential on the cards!

Lol, immediately recognised that was not the right factory. Not nearly enough signs on the gates.

Senor Edgar could easily do a similar YouTube update, but makes me wonder why not.

They will, they'll come back and do it personally

[phazed]

Of the 13 I relocated last summer none seem to have come back. It was right next to a farm and so, who knows there may have been more titbits for them!

Embarrassment perhaps?

"However, Autocar followed this up with a completely inaccurate statement along the lines of ….the tendering process means that work on the factory is unlikely to commence for many months to come..! It made me bl**dy cross, I can tell you!

So, if you’re reading, Autocar(!), the accurate latest is this:

Work to commence – JANUARY.
Work to complete (Building Refurb) – SUMMER."

Accurate yes, but who is the work for?

TVR or a future tenant?

...erm not quite 'accurate' as this statement was made 2 years ago so really a public apology should be made to Autocar? I'm beginning to understand why they no longer make any updates.

Reminds me of the Bedouins that were brought from the desert to be housed in a Riyadh high rise, Camels wouldn't walk into the lift

Perhaps the squirrels didn't want a new home and will come back to haunt

Bless them

Could this be the reason ?
