So Far

Have i given the impression that I am not relishing my return to TVR as much as I thought by any chance?

ok, ok, a lot of valid points there, and to be honest, I can only find issue with a couple:

8. Porche-eating!

That's the thing, my 19 yr old 3.2 Carrera would happily out-gallop the Griff, and add some corners into the equation and it's not even a contest.

15. Offers of sex

Not had this yet? Though A Spanish bird did once jump into the red one for a photo ... then again, two Spanish birds jumped into the Ferrari and another laid across the bonnet in a bikini for a photo when she thought no-one was looking

[burriana]

By the way Del ... who asked you to compile the list? Who would be that bothered whether I kept it or not!

Did you do any work at school ......ah yes someone, who will remain nameless, convinced you that revision wasn't cool

I remember being top in the class at A-Level geography at one point, until I started sharing a room with some "nameless" person!

ah well, never wanted to go to Uni anyway, and figuring out ways to see through Lisa Berry's blouse/sneak upstairs in the girl's house/sleep in until mid-day/nick the keys to the school minibus/bunk out into town until the early hours etc was infinitely more fun
