Not necessarily! Moving up, or moving on to another type.

Tis in my case anyway.

Or it could just be that with such an active TVR community on PH, owners feel that it's the best place to advertise.

Many, many TVR-owning PHers have been loyal to the brand, owning many different Tivs over the years (just look at 2 Smoking Barrels' profile

Do I detect a hint of 'thinking in primary colours' here

and as you said yourself, I think this is the reason. I cant think of any brand of car which is more likely to attract genuine enthusiasts in their droves and with the PH forum being so active it is only natural that a large number of owners will advertise their cars here. As for the chimaera / griffith ratio AFAIK (correct me if i'm wrong someone ) there are considerably more Chimaeras than Griffiths in existance so that would be expected...

I've been keeping an eye on the numbers myself. There were 130+ in the late summer when I started looking. Fell to 83 IIRC in January.

Ah yes, sunny Stevenage, did a paed's attachment there as a student (1987! ). Trying to remember the name of the DGH, but my alzheimers' is interfering. .....what was i saying....

As far as the criminal activities; funny you should say that, got stopped the other night by unmarked plod, who thought i looked like i'd stolen the Vectra ( ahem... excuse me) mainly due to my black beany hat he said! (beany hat - very important for keeping heads warm for us thatch challenged types! ).

The house-job was in fact gen medicine at St Albans City 1989..... oh dear.... so long ago

we all admire each others cars and talk Tiv for a few hours,have some food and then usually go for a blat around the countryside taling in some points of interest. we are a very welcoming lot and the more the merrier. next weekend is the mid essex monthly meet but unfortunately i am out of the country. By the way what bikes do you have?
