Superb weatherfantastic turnout
and so many exotic cars
Many thanks to all who organised it.
Look forward to seeing you all again at the next one
I'm sure that could be arranged. Suggestions for venues (preferably public venues with loads of space that don't need prior booking or any of that hassle) welcomed.

I've already posted this on another thread, but Ted, can we please have the next one somewhere further North, eg. Chatsworth? Surrey is a bit far for some of us on a day trip, and Chatsworth is beautiful for a big picnic and/or barbie - nice driving roads around there, too!
www.chatsworth-house.co.uk
Ok, so it's a bit close to me....but Knebworth House is pretty good; there's stacks of room to park up for a group shot...and a few attractions to wander round:

From someone who hardly managed to get the engine warmed up (well apart from in the car park queue) in driving to VW, I for one would welcome a venue like Chatsworth.
Only fair that all have a chance to meet (not just us southern bar stewards)
Of course - it doesn't need to be close to the Back Home trip (would need time to recuperate from any jaunt north of the Watford Gap!!!!!)

It's still quite a long way if you want to travel from Newcastle, Cumbria, or even Scotland. C'mon, let's do Chatsworth, but not when the horsey types take over - we can give 'em a few horsepower of our own!!
As I hinted at before, I didn't actually organise it so go ahead and name a date for a northern meet. Johno sorted out the southern meet by stating a date and venue and offering encouragement and reminders. Go for it.
Greetings all,
What a crying shame I missed you all. I found out too late, and I only live down the road, too ! I was out terrifying the general public on the backroads of Berks/Surrey. I'm sure my Chim had a big grin on her face, too
An important note for anyone who wants to organize a meet in Windsor Great Park: you need to get permission from the Crown Estate Park Rangers. The Berks TVRCC have their Annual Summer Picnic in the Park, and the Rangers are very strict about this permission thing...
Another sunny day...the Chimaera is calling me...see you later

There is a Scotland meet in planning! But I would be interested in a 'Northern' meet somewhere around Cumbria/Borders sort of area!

Credit where credit is due - big thanks to Johno for getting this whole thing off the ground and choosing a good venue and superb weather!
I think we peaked at about 55 cars! My piccies will be up within the hour.
What happened to the piccies Ted?
Are you having the Monday blues again?

Didn't meet too many of you but nice to chat to those I did. Was the grey Tamora yours, flasher? Great car.
No I swapped mine for the yellow one

Loved the Tamora with the 18" wheels as well.
Good!!!
that was mine!! quote:
Might have to consider a 996 after seeing yours, benno.
Nooooooooo, I followed him all the way there and back and could bearly hear my rasping six pot over his crunchy gearbox
Only kidding benno, that sports exhaust of yours sounds the mutts-nuts.....

Well, there's a nice big link on the home page
, but here you go as well:  |  |  The white wedge is Patrick Deary's 420SEAC which sounded glorious as he larged it up the road! |
 |  |  The first Tamora on the scene attracted much attention. |
 |  |  Road going Tasmin Coupes are a rare sight these days |
 |  |  |
 |  |  Red Rose Speed Six |
 |  Flasher's Tamora attracted a lot of attention |  Benno's Porker |
 |  |  |
 350i was in superb condition |  Pete Humphries' legendary Green V8S |  |
Thanks Ted. I haven't been able to get the home page all morning and have kept getting Friday's page instead?? rebooted my PC and now I'm getting today's page!!!
Gassing was OK though, so God knows what happened there??
Great Piccies, and I will definitley be up for a trip to the Northerners. Doesn't it snow up there in May though, Nubbin?

Just had a good look at the piccies, looked like a good day! Few things to note!
Only official PH Sticker (not including marshy's) is to be seen on the back of a bloody Smart! Somebody please point me to the others!
What is that awful red thing on the right hand side, 3rd pic up from the bottom?!?!? (Only kidding benno)

Ted, I can only echo everyone else's comments and being new to the TVR fraternity it was great to see so many examples in one place, the few people i spoke to seemed really friendly and enthusiastic about there TVR's.
Well done to all involved
Also passed a great looking black Cerbera on the M25 car park, and watched with great amusement as a bike did a wheelie passed a Porsche boxster on the inside lane near the City airport.
