What time will you be at Dream machines Bob, if the weather is OK I might just pop down as I havent been there yet!

Later

Mike

Mike, Dream Machines have a LOT of very nice TVRs, inside and out they are everywhere(!) Jaw dropping just wandering around, they have everything!! Id be happy to work out a time which suits you Sir, its been too long not having met you, and pies(!) and everyone else!! We were planning on 9am, but will postpone our arrival to 10:30. It would be cool to have you and a few members from the S forum in on the: 'Tonys lay it on thick' "be careful with the cerb!" speech
Pies said:
Enjoy the Cerb Bob

One day i'll meet up with you
Alright Colin We'll meet soon mate, carnauba at dawn atop blind mans -buff, electric buffers to the ready

Can you make it to Dream Machines on Saturday 10:30am?!? www.dreammachines.org.uk/contact.aspx Please come, I'll spend an afternoon working on your shine with you mate, promise

Come on chaps, come on down! Lets spend half a day together You'll have my 'wheres the next gear' grinds and what-not to amuse you in the afterhoon following my purchase! And my uprated pops and bangs to bear witness to

Who else will bust a gut to make it? Kentish, Oldred, Wildfire-you are down south(?!) Wonky, mrs Blue! Humphries(!) ALL the Harry's (no escape for you green V8S), Shmern up for a hoon to the UK Pod I havn't seen your chim yet doddze Hoover! Bugsy! Farmer you are welcome in an S hoon in any roadrover mate, go on you know you want another S Nick, your presence would be epic after GT4 kentish pies and oldred and Mike again (incase you thought you could escape) Spivvy are you road worthy yet? And everyone else whose name I have not mentioned!!

Its short notice chaps, but how about another S-hoon Very short I know but for those of you who can come, lets make a go of it! A pub lunch (location TBA on the day before we set off - which will be on our laps in parking lot so I can drool into my bowl whilst oogling my new cerb ) and/or just a pub drink or two (shandys for me!)

I'll ask a few other to come town too, 1 Cerb, Tusc and Chim... cant say for sure whose coming, but if only 2 of your turns up Id be well chuffed to spend some time in convoy and TVR chat.

I suggest a hoon, pub, and a second blat before heading for home. Come on down! The S forum changed my life, you've all watched me learn to drive, I'd love to put names to faces, the summer S meet is just too far away. I'd be honoured to have a few of you at my Cerbera inauguration which for ME will be eipc!

Dream Machines will welcome you all with tea and/or open arms (one or tuther) Im sure!

10:30 will likely run into 11:15am before we leave, arriving any time before then should be cool.

Again, at such short notice, if only a few of you make it I'll be well chuffed!

Oh Mate!
I've booked the ramp again for Saturday morning, otherwise a mini hoon in Heathfield would have been nice, sorry mate I must get this suspension set properly.
I'm sure we will meet up somwhere soon though.

Rob,

Would love to join you mate, but I'm shooting Up North bright and early (5:30 ) to visit my parents.

BUT, next Saturday is the Sevenoaks and Orpington meet at the Woodman in Ide Hill - great pub and fantastic roads - come and join us if you can!

Oh Rob, sorry I'm yet another who can't get over to Sussex this Saturday.

I'm getting a new car too
I'm parting the VW in and buying a BMW 318 Ti Sport compact (hopefully)!

The V6S is having a new exhaust made/fitted from today too, should be finished on Monday, I hope.

Good luck and have fun!

Someone's pulled a fast one on you Pete. They've swapped your engine and just stuck the plenum on top to make it look like a V8!

Don't want to embarrass him, let him continue to think he's bought a fast car for a few more weeks yet .

WELL SOD YOU LOT THEN!!

It might be best (as well as being the only option! ) to go alone just with my girlfriend, that way there wont be any high speed hooning action which will let me relax (as much as is possible!) on the first day of Cerbera ownership

Good luck with the cylinders Peter, nothing serious I hope? Congrats on the beemer Kentish when do you collect? (dont expect me to come with ya though! )Have a fantastic weekend everyone

This time tomorrow I'll be popping and banging my way through sussex And if I catch any of you even near Dream Machines on the morning of the morrow

Rob,

You must be getting really really excited

I've discovered the BMW I'm after is a rare limited edition model and there were only 350 made, so I'm getting excited too and this will be my daily hack.

I'm also getting excited about having the sports exhaust on the S, I've also looked into how TVR get more power from the V6 engine and I've read that it is mainly down to the exhaust being more free flowing as the rest of the engine is standard Uncle Henry stuff.

So, it should sound and possibly be a bit nippier too, yeehhhaaa!

I'll be thinking of you in your lovely new Cerbie tomorrow. Is it the standard straight yellow or the pearly yellow. Both are really nice


Have a good one and don't forget ...take it easy!

Bloody hell, Ive been told to take it veeery easy 101 times in the last 2 days! Im debating keeping the S!

Good luck with both cars mate, the S will be fantastic when the zhorst is on, I really wanted to hear wildfires S also. I'll also have a new BM friend to pick on and poke fun at, starting tomorrow

There are essentially 3 yellow cerb colours (that I have seen)... the dark perealescent, light yellow, and the full bodied yellow. Its Galio Fly or sumink. I had a look last night again in the workshop, jaw dropped, "Sweet jesus, am I really buying that car!?!?!"

It looks sooooooooo stunning in real life !!! Catch up soon at the next meet mate!

Yes, I'm looking forward to meeting you and the rest of our friends here.

I love the Cerbie, a 4 seater too so a good family car eh at least that's what I keep telling Mrs K.

Second to the Cerbie is my other fave the T350 and for a soft top the S or Chim for a classic or a Tamora for something more modern.
