Are there any other Cheshire based Tiv owners on here? I went to a TVRCC meet once and was thoroughly underwhelmed.

How about a local run out if the weather holds?

I sometimes feel like the only TVR owner in Liverpool. Although I do spy a red Chimaera every once-in-a-while... wouldn't mind meeting up on a Saturday with other Cheshire TVR enthusiast...

There are plenty about. Roadsweeper (on here, not his real name ) resides in Cheshire and has a loverly Chimeara. A friend of mine's dad (lives in Congleton) also has a Chim but he never uses it. The cat likes to sleep in it though! Ther seem to be lots of owners but few enthusiasts.

I guess that makes me an enthusiast surrounded by a bunch of boring owners then?

Anytime your around Liverpool let me know...

I've got a 350i and I live in Crewe. I guess that counts me in. Would be interested in a run out after I've had my car repaired after a recent track day.

Blackmonday, I'm a TVR owner in Liverpool, I have a Gold Chimaera, likewise it would be good to have a run out, as no-one ever seems to have a run out, Especially with some of the best roads in N.Wales.

I've seen the Red Chimaera too in Woolton, keep seeing a light blue Tuscan in Sainsbury's car park in Knotty Ash too (maybe Ken Dodd or a diddyman ?) , never seen the owner though !!

Perhaps if people are up for it this Sunday have a run-out somewhere ?? and maybe a few not whilst driving of course !!

Bought my rosso red Chim from Christopher Neils in Northwich, Cheshire. Was flashed/waved at by a Cerbie and Griff driving it back home to Manchester. So must be a few Tivs around in Cheshire. Not seen a single one in Manchester since I picked mine up last week.

Have and S2 and live in Stockport, so almost Cheshire and almost a Tiv for that matter

Seen plenty of cars around this Summer in and around Stockport.....guess the owners aren't on here

Plenty of Tivs in Cheshire , including my Chimaera and 400SE . I know of at least 20 in the Macclesfield / Wilmslow area , and if you had been at Oulton Park over the weekend for the Tuscan Challenge there were stacks.........despite the usual Cheshire weather !

Hi

As Matt says I (roadsweeper is in fact my real name ) live in Cheshire and have a blue Chimaera 400 - see my profile.

I definitely consider myself an enthusiast as someone who has an engineering and (to a small extent) motorsport background, so would be very happy to meet up with some local owners.

My main problem, as I suspect is often the case, is a lack of time as I work in London Mon-Fri and often stay over the weekend. However, I'm around this weekend if anyone fancies a meet on short notice?

Cheers.

roadsweeper.

Pete W, would yours be the white S2 seen on Heaton Moor regularly? My green S1 lives just down the road. I have flashed you a couple of times but sadly I only see you when I'm in the Peugeot. Not quite the same impact hey!

Hi,

Nope, mine's a dark blue S2 that is out and about most weekends....seen the white S2 thou' on the roundabout near Halfords. I didn't flash though, since I was also in a Peugeot when our paths crossed

Cheers

I might be up for a run out on Sunday as TVRwhoa suggests if there's general interest?

I second what Steve says. Get down to the meeting and say hello. Why would anyone be "underwhelmed"?.
