Hmm - EXCELLENT turnout.
Thanks for posting.

Must be lots of rich folk down there.

I do favour red Wedges though.

Err, what is that orange 'thing' between the Tuscan 2 and the Navy Chimaera?

I know what it was when it left Blackpool, but FFS! it's revolting.

Hmm, I think they suit it really well.

Formerly a '7' owner ?

I used to have the plate '7 GGD' on my Lotus.

Sorry I couldn't make it. Go away Thursday so had a Xmas meal with my parents and sister as we won't see her until the new year. Eat eraly so couldn't even pop over.
Jeffsy - I've seen the other pics and your smoking a bit. Also, is the Griff in love with that Chim - you always seem to end up parking next to it.

Blaine,

Either way good to have you back in the fold!

Chassis will be in a rolling state over next couple of weeks, progress is O.K. I suppose i should have realised that I would end up with the " well better replace that now whilst it is easy to get to" approach once I had the lid off it! So far chassis refabricated/wishbones back on/diff rebuilt/stainless/zinc fixings sourced/rear hubs poly bushed/driveshaft cv's replaced refurbed/ plus more...Keep an eye on me thread on the chim forum, bit boring I guess but shows the progress (or lack of it!)

or even better pop over for a cuppa and have a look!

Still think that the body can be back on sometinme in Feb...then there is the engine

Hi folks,

the owner of the "bling" saggy is Tony M, love's his cars,this one is formula red, like his last car a tuscan with a Newlun Design T440 front grill.

There is a picture of this motor in this months "sprint" at the NEC you can admire him there smoking his rears!

I will text him and get him to have a look at this....it'll cheer him up as he has been decorating all day!

I understand that the wheels where supplied via TVRPower

Oh for the record his engine is pretty too...for a speed6 anyway!

Richard,

Oh err misses very personal!

This 4.5 cerbie is a very popular car amongst the West Midlands group, goes like stink, sounds brilliant, spits flame and has real attitude, turning heads (for the right reasons) wherever it goes, it always ends up with a crowd around it!

Whilst I appreciate that colour combinations and styling is an individual thing (especially with our cars), have a look on the "spotted forum" and see how many people this car has made smile....again for the right reasons!

Steve.

Paul - I gues you'll read this when you get back....

Looks like it does smoke however I think its only like that when started cold, until it warms up a tad. Also it was blutty freezing that day which makes it worse. I'll keep an eye on it though as we do use an awful lot of oil.

It does look contrived parking next to 905 but Paul was the first/second there and we were third (v hungry that day ) so it would have seemed churlish not to park next to him No you are right - they are in love...imagine the babies
