TED MODS PLEASE CAN YOU STICKY THIS


This is not a joke guys so please only serious replies.
Spent the last couple of weeks in Nassau on holiday and while I was there discovered my mate there had got his hands on a yellow 350i wedge.
It is one of 2 cars that were sent out there after being ordered by a couple of Cuban drug runners who wanted something quick to get around the island. Before the cars arrived though the runners got caught by the DEA so the 2 Tivs sat around for some time before getting sold and now my friend has one.
Unfortunately it is not running at the moment as it needs some TLC ,some chassis rusting needs sorting and a little interior work which my friend cannot do himself nor anyone else on the island for that matter.
I suggested I ask on pistonheads for some advice to which he replied, good idea but if I can find someone who can carry out the work he will pay for the flight and put them up in his house for a couple of weeks.
So guys if there are any TVR employees or specialists that fancy a free holiday in the sun this winter while woking on a Tiv with a graet bit of history please post here or PM me.

I repeat this is a serious offer so only serious replies.

Thanks in advance

Paul

Hi Udo
Schöne Grüsse aus Haan(bin umgezogen) no I am not a Wedge owner sorry. Was thinking about going down the TVR route at the start of the year but as you know the dealer network here is so small I am afraid I have to tell you I bought a Porker Cayman S

Good morning Pauly,

you don`t need a dealer network, if you own a wedge!!!:-)


Okay, a cayman is a nice car too. But waking up your neighbours will not work with it :-)

By the way. I´m member of the german TVR-Car-Club. If you are interestet in conversation with TVR-Enthusiasts, we would be happy to see you at our meetings. Wir sind übrigens offen für alle Auto-Liebhaber, egal was für eine Marke sie fahren, selbst Porsche ist kein Problem :-) We are all nicely people. Look at the Forum of the German Car Club Sites.

Ist übrigens unbelievable, die story von deinem Freund on the Bahamas. Bin gespannt, ob sich einer für diesen Job findet.

"Kölsche" Greetings to the "Alt-Trinker" Pauly and all wedgers on the world

Udo
