Spotted a lovely Z06 in yellow (is there any other colour?) on a '56' plate at Leonardslee Gardens, south of Horsham, just now

Had to pull over, take some photos and leave a PH calling card I'll post the pics when I get a chance.

wavey if you're on here

Glad you liked the car. Spotted the card when opening her up on the A24 and it started to flap in the breeze! Currently on a 56 plate but soon to be known as C6 RCR. Took delivery from Stratstone on Sept. 1st. Cannot sing their praises high enough. Having bought numerous cars over the years James was by far the easiest to deal with. Just need to source the GT1 rear wing. Keep your eyes open around Sussex while the weather is fine and will be at the Americana breakfast club at Goodwood on 1st Oct.

Pesumably that was you at Shoreham with the Lambo and Holden?cool
Now you've got a real car you should come down to the Sussex Corvette Club on October 4th. We meet at the Friars Oak in Hassocks from about 8.

We'll ply you with drink and then get you to sign up for the Corvette Club and then next year you can try and beat Nige for the Fastest Kid in the Valley trophy....driving

Have owned a variety of TVRs in my time including 350SE, the last 450 SEAC, Griff 500, Cerbera 4.2 and 4.5. In my opinion 450 SEAC sounded the best. (Mrs Titan says she could hear it 2 miles away on the A259 as I drove home from work!). But then you should hear the Lambo! It was tested at 128 DB at 2 thirds RPM at Goodwood. P.S. Leonardslee gardens nice for a walk at this time of year!!!

Yes it was us. Added a real car to the 2 pretend ones?!! It will be interesting to do the Shoreham event and run the Lambo against the Z06. (Mrs Titan will drive the Z06, as she can see over the steering wheel and can't in the Lambo. An interesting match?)

we particularly wanted C6R as the GT race car. Looking down all the other possible choices RCR looked the best and at a squint looks like racer?!! or a short form of racer.
