Today was spot on - just to thank everyone who joined the seventeen TVR car convoy on route to Donnington Park(plus a Ford Focus and a Toyota Supra).


Excellent driving and excellent company, the look on peoples faces as we just kept rolling by in the Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire countryside.

Superb days racing - most of it done on the way to the track!

Rockingham next time definately

www.tmstvr.co.uk will have a load of photo's on their `Latest News ' section tomorrow afternoon.

Perhaps it will have the Focus there somewhere


My favorite bit was the duel between Andy `Tank' Hutcheson and Andy `Flasher' Dunckley all the way there!


All I could smell was burning rubber from the Ferrari Red Tuscan ahead as it powerslide up the road at full throttle

yesterday's "door shutting" manoevre by Mr Tank just confirms that he is German and related to Schumi. I did get in though, driving the TMS Cerbera means I was able to make the move stick. Wouldn't have attempted it in the Tamora

Thanks Jamer, the hospitality was superb as was the cross-country blat to Donnington with the other 15 TVR's!!!

Best bit for me was passing the Toff on his Horse, who was trotting in an adjacent field. The Cerb crackled past to him shaking his fist at me, he had just got over the shock of the Tuscan and Tamora and then the noisiest Cerb in the Midlands came past!!!

I could just about see the Cerberas in the distance and it looked like you guys were having a brilliant time playing around, I was seriously envious...

One day I shall have myself a TVR too and then maybe I can join in the fun too!!!

Excellent day. Top People. Fun Racing and Good Hospitality. Thanks.

Just one slight problem, though. Seeing so many TVRs together in one place, my Son now thinks that Cerberas are quite common.................

I hear you are on your own this year, all that extra space for handbags, and telescopes
This year expect even greater things as we will have the catering services of Team Weightman, the fridge will mean we don't have to chase the burgers before we cook them

James,

What happened to the pictures? No pressure mate, I was just wondering! It would be great to see them.


Cheers,

Paul.
