Well done Marshy, I thought you would guess it was me. If only we had a TVR in, what was it '96? Oh well. Perhaps another day... Have lost your card by the way that is why I have not phoned...
I will try the roundabout thing as I am quite good at those.
Nineteen-ninety-frozen-to-death, yeah that was it. Possibly 1995 even. Easy to guess it was you, BTW, just click on your name in the left hand column to find out everything PistonHeads knows about you.
Roundabouts: careful... kerbs and lampposts can wreak havoc with suspension and bodywork. My one tail-out-onna-roundabout incident was a real twitchy moment. Big empty carparks are probably the order of the day. If anyone knows some good ones around Cambridge, let me know
Second that... roundabouts are still a bit iffy.
Find a big open carpark with no posts, stray trolleys or dumped Fiesta's and go play...
Oh... and can also vouch for the Muntjack business. Live near woods, hit one (or maybe it was just a common-or-garden deer) two weeks ago in the MX5. Just a glancing blow, but enough to dent the bonnet, and crease the passenger wing. 700 quid to repair.
Wasn't worth claiming since excess is 450, and with the Tuscan arriving soon, want a clean enough record as possible.

Hello Emma and Husband, shows how these pages grow, checked your note last night and whoa 2 pages long, anyway names for cars, well my Cerb is called Spencer after Winston S Churchill 
, great British statesman with stature sort of fit's the car. Driving fun well roundabouts (quiet) but damp roads, balance throttle and clutch while going around it, use to do that in my Griff but have not tried it in the Cerb yet, well not intentionally 
!!!
Welcome and enjoy pistonheads

Morning smudge, and welcome. Enjoy the site.
Looks like there is some 'previous' with one of the boys here????
I know that ships, cars etc are generally referred to as "she", "her" etc, but for some reason TVRs are always given male names. I wonder why that is? I could speculate... powerful but not exactly subtle?

Welcome Smudged, I second Alison H's comment, it's good to see another TVR girl (Puny doesn't count, she's too busy playing with her jellies).
Strangely enough, my Chimaera is called my boy, Alison, though he doesn't have a name as such. I did consider calling him Rover - the numberplate looks a bit like Woof which is spot on as he is the dog's b******s, but it didn't take.
Mel, it counts if her name is Ruby....

welcome to the fold smudged
My Tiv has been christened BJ by her indoors. I wanted to give it a blokey name but she insisted cars are female, even TVRs!
Why'd she chose BJ?
Short for Billie Jean (King), cos she reckons that if the Tiv is gonna be female it might as well be a big butch Lesbian!
Please note that these opinions are not necessarily my own and I wish no offence to any Lesbians or Tennis players reading this thread
Nurse!?

Is that a reference to my post? Just to clarify: Emma and I used to work at PIPEX/Unipalm as was (before it contracted weekly name change disease).
So yes, we know each other from a previous life, but not *that* way.
