What did you do in the garage yesterday?
Discussion
Nearside front indicator decided not to play. Really didn't want to disturb the mesh grille so went in from behind via the hole I'd previously cut in the inner wing. But turbo pipes and stuff in there plus the hole was originally cut to access the headlight bulbs, meant access was very limited. Then found I didn't have any amber bulbs with straight pins so wifey offered to go to Halfords for me. Phone call, 'no they don't have any' so she calls at car spares place on the way back - 'I've got you 5' 
Arms are red raw from the fibreglass but nearly done. Bulb doesn't fit - she'd got 5 with offset pins aaarrrggghhhh.
Its 3.50pm and the shop shuts at 4 so she goes back down. 'No we don;t have any of the other type. Why don't you get an orange lens......'
So she calls at the next car place and they have one left. Finally got it fitted and working but forearms bloody sore so application of some soothing cream was required. A 5 minute job that took an hour and a half.......

He has a very very special RV8 in that sdi 
Ah, but I'm more special than him as mine is a true, proper, real TVR engine........ 
OH it will be a racing engine then 
meaning you have to bring it up to temp before you drive off

Are you missing the Tvr yet Iain, Or is the Rover filling the gap
But, I have been following all the sites watching the TVRs. There is a Cerb that's really tempting me and I've been looking at S cars too. So far I've resisted

What's this 'bringing up to temp' lark then? Start up, wait for alternator belt to stop screeching, put into D and drive off like my grandad......

I'm having fun with the SD1 at the moment. I get more thumbs up, waves, smiles and comments than ever in the Cerb or Chim. For some reason, everyone likes it, even enough to let me out of side roads and forecourts with NO delays. They all stop and let me out.

Your comments re fuel hose relaxing tells me we still need you around but I reckon your to tall for an S. But, I have been following all the sites watching the TVRs. There is a Cerb that's really tempting me and I've been looking at S cars too. So far I've resisted
SD1 is a brill car in so many ways so the fact your still interested proves love never dies
I have a love/ hate relationship with mine and that's just the ex missus,,,,
your TVR dont have a cam belt or A/C fitted
