On Saturday to run my new engine in I started out from Calne at 9:30am, drove to Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Malvern, Malvern wells, back to Tewkesbury, Breadon, Cheltenham, Wootten Basset, and then Calne.

Sunday started out to Swindon, then Chippenham, Melksham, Trowbridge, Devizes, Marlborough, Wroughton, Avebury, then back to Calne.

Total trip about 300 miles.

Never spotted a Tiv on the entire journey. Lot's of porsches, and SLR's, and those Chavey Audii TT's, Mx5's, and Subrau's ... But no Tivs.

Well .... do you exist, or not .... A very poor showing on what was a spanking brill weekend.

It was because you were not driving through Chippenham when I was then !

Funny, I didn't see any others either!

Can't have missed you by much - good roads around there. I was up and down the A361 and the Fosse Way, saw a purple Chim, but not enough other TVRs!

We must have all just missed each other then as i was pottering about taking the sprogs to/from sleep overs etc etc between Melksham,Devizes Chippenham and Trowbridge on both days.
if you were passing through Melksham, did you see the black Tam for sale in the scooby garage next to West Mid Farmers on the roundabout?

I believe I do but I'm going to have to prod myself to check I'm not imagining my existence.

You must have driven past my house Ian - only two miles from Bredon on the A4104.

Will stand on the drive waiting next time and you can come in for a cuppa.wavey

Yes Phil I should be ashamed of myself. The hood was on because - well there is no excuse - the hood should of been off.
Given you the thumbs up several times in Chippenham. I was in my MR2 at the time. I see a red Sag about Chippenham, but I don't think he is a TVRcc member.

I was running my Tiv in and decided to drive through Bredon because I played football for Bredon many years ago. I have fond memories of the village, and it was nice to see it again. I would liked to have stopped for a chat if I'd known. I'm sure I will be up that way again.
