I'm also somewhat relieved - I had images of going along to some of the meets and finding myself the youngest by a long way!
I see you're based in Herts, if you are able to get along to any of the Herts/Beds meets in Harpenden I may well see you there, a fellow youngster! I'm 22 and was 20 when I got my Chim. The first question I get because I do look young is always about insurance! Then I get the drive carefully talk aswell. In spite of age everyone is always very friendly and I'm always impressed how unprejuduced the TVR bunch are. Having had the Chimaera for almost two years now I can't imagine being without it, it's fantastic and I could only replace it with another TVR.

I look forward to seeing you there! I intend on getting into the whole social scene surrounding TVRs as well, and - time allowing - will be attending as many meets as I can!
The pub might do a good turn in 'real ale' from many regulars of TVR meets, but it's good to see from this thread that there'll be a few Buds and mixers sold as well. :P
Cheers,

a-hem.. I was,er, 43 on Saturday
and I spent the day waxoyling the car whilst it was up on a hydraulic lifter at a friend's garage (I'd been quoted £130 for this work- this way it was £28 for the stuff and several beers for my friend- a girl!).
Good thing too- we're taking the Chimaera up to Scotland on Wednesday- and I spotted a fairly large nail-head sitting flush in the tread of the rear n/s tyre!(would never have seen it if the car wasn't in the air). We took it to National Tyres and they put in a plug. The thought of that large nail popping out on the M6...
Anyway- I really admire you guys in your early twenties driving TVRs. You sound a lot more sussed than I know I would've been driving a V8 at 21.
Happy motoring,
Kenny
