I don't think I've ever seen a Tiv in Lancaster, though I suppose I'm not at home that much nowadays. I'll have to keep an eye out next time!

Where abouts did you see it? On the A6?

Fab looking motor, one day I'll have one.

He was heading out of Lancaster on the A6, South road, just before the roundabout. I was heading into town and was tempted to flash my lights at him till I realised he'd just wonder who the oddball in the 206 was ?!?!?!

You're right, you don't see many TVR's in Lancaster... think I've seen about four... and I've been up here about five years now.

I wish I could bring mine up... one day... one day!!driving

Robert... You should get one at the first opportunity!!

That Griff of yours looks mighty tasty lick

Last time I was home I did pop down to Cicely in Preston for a bit of a mooch, but due to the problems with getting hold of stock, they only had a few of cars in. They had a gorgeous black Tuscan S in though.

I would still like a Griff mind, I love the RV8 cars. thumbup

What are you studying at the Uni? I only live five minutes up the road.

Thanks Robert

I came up here for (just) a year in 2002 to do a Masters..... now doing a PhD. nuts

Thankfully I have V understanding family down South who are willing to store the car for me... I pop back every few months or so to turn the engine over.. move it out the garage and give it a polish.... Their neighbours must think I'm bananas!!

Can't wait to get it back on the road though.... then maybe I'll get spotted.

That is a nice Griff.

I won't be back in Lancs until around July though, so plenty of notice for you all to come trundling by my house!
