Couple of spotteds in Brighton today
Discussion
First off, in the Old Steine, met for a quick hello to new Cerb owner, SilverCerb aka Robin and his lovely silver 4.2. 
Just as Robin was driving off a solid red Chim or Griff drove round the Old Steine and disappeared behind some traffic, so I'm not able to confirm the model, but to you too...if you're a PHer

It's not your week is it. 
I've seen an (electric?) blue Cerb a couple of times in the Rottingdean/Woodingdean area, was me waving coming the other way in the blue Chim if you read this. Also a darkish (blue?) Griff with Zertec front lights somewhere in the Brighton area.
Must get to more local meets.
Cheers, Al.

Hi Nick, yeah my wife has seen it a few times aswell parked up in Woodingdean, I'm on Falmer Road and hear it come past quite regularly, aswell as lots of others, but they've usually long gone by the time I have a look out the window. If you're going north past the speed camera (only works for southbound traffic) give it a blast up the hill, always good to hear a Tiv on full chat. Nice car by the way, especially the colour, do miss not having a yellow Tiv, may have to remedy that.

Al,
I can appreciate what you mean by how good TVR's sound coming up the hill past your place, this was one of the contributing factors that helped you sell me the chim!
I still have this image of you driving up the hill after taking Ginny for a spin (steady on!), car sounded excellant.
I had a look at your profile, the new car looks good, headlights/wheels etc..still working the Al magic then, what will you go for next?
Nice to see that you have included a picture of my chim at pistonfest in 03, I would appreciate your comments ( or 
) on the Newlun Design work to the paint/headlights/front indicators completed in June this year, it certainly looks a lot different!
In the middle of an engine bay bling up at the moment.
Cheers,
Steve.

I drove back into Brighton yesterday about 2:15, coming up the Old Steine saw a green Chim few cars ahead, caught up with him along seafront road between Pier and West St, brief 2 lane TVR convoy, waves exchanged
Ahhhhh, how sweet!

Hi Steve, I'm still waiting for the pictures mate. What else are you doing in the engine bay, gonna get the intake hose at last? I got some red rocker covers the other day so got to fit those, then red hoses from ACT I think. Merry Christmas to you Ginny and the family.
Cheers, Al.
Al,
here we go:
Rocker covers in dark blue (with the raised "TVR") polished, rocker breather chromed, got hold of an oil filler neck (this will be chromed too), fuelrail/coil bracket/wiper motor cover/ wiper strap/ throttle body chromed.
Plenum enlarged butterfly (73mm), this will be polished with dark blue inlay.
Blue silicone hoses for breather pipes and air intake.
Stainless bushes made for K&N plus stainless bolts
Air flow meter polished
Inside of bonnet repainted/support stays all strpped of paint and polished, engine bay repainted
Also stainless cowling made for top and side of radiator (to improve cooling, although this is not a problem)new stainless bushes made for fans all with...stainless allen bolts.
Replacing fuel injector seals and various bolts with stainless allen bolts and nuts.
Will also do UJ's on steering column as part of winter work.
A 5.0 litre engine is also on the cards, all of the above stuff will go straight onto it.
Have a good Christmas yourself, I have no digital camera, will do my best and get some done.
Have a good one.
Steve. G.
