It's another F1 GP to try and ignore this weekend.

Going out on Saturday and Monday, so I might have to dig the front garden for 2-3 hours on Sunday instead.....paperbag

Evening

popped in for a look, still not liking what the ph monkeys have done, in fact they have done what I thought was impossible and made it worse.
So popping in and out you missed my enquiry about V6 TVRs. I see. If I ask it again presumably you'll just miss it again. Woe, woe and thrice woe.

After years of working miles from home, now that I'm working in the next village I get to eat in the evening with Mrs C. You know, like civilised people. However, as I work until six and she likes to eat no later than half past, things can get a bit rushed. I don't change for dinner, for example. I just flop in the chair in my work clothes.

"Have you seen what you're wearing?"
"My fleece."
"And...?"
"Oh."

I was eating my dinner still wearing my hi-viz.

Fatboy gone? frown

Oh dear, this won't do at all. A lot of people seem to be having trouble with this new look forum business.

Could we not send Battert along to the Haymarket offices? Not quite sure what he's going to do when he gets there, we'll need to come up with a plan.

It's opinion rather than fact I'm after, GOG.

With the exception of a late sixties or early seventies Vixen,* I thought a TVR had to be a V8. Aaaaanyway, the car I'm using at the moment is a Mondeo V6. A rather dilapidated one as it happens. Dilapidated but 24 valves and quick and making a glorious noise. So I wondered, in TVR circles, how low down the food chain one is considered to be in a V6 S Series, for example.

All opinions welcome.

*The early Vixen is excused as it was my first experience of TVR. There was a new one in the village where I grew up. Or failed to grow up depending on your view.
