Chim at Le Mans
Discussion
Yeah, very likely, but so was mine so it's a poor excuse.
Mind you, I got wet when it p****d down, so maybe they got it right.
Actually, I was suprised how much we did get in the boot, but had to raise the springs when lardar$e me got in. Glad I wasn't in a Griff. :waits for gorillas to arrive:
Lots of piccies, but as I was the only Tiv in a group of mates, (you could call the group eclectic) none that would interest.

sat in a nice restaurant on way to Le Mans. Anyone else reading this on their way down? Roof down all the way, rain and shine - OK, rain!
Saw loads of Chims at Dover, but seemed like a strange sub-breed, as they all had their roofs up You TVRCC NE boys know who you are! 
Loud and Proud even if we did have the roof up! well the fridge had to go somewhereSaw loads of Chims at Dover, but seemed like a strange sub-breed, as they all had their roofs up
You TVRCC NE boys know who you are!

I will never get another soft top that doesn't have a little button that you press to magic the roof up.
My god Al, you big softy! You must be getting old.....
Mind you after being in the Griff when the said soaking took place I do have some sympathy towards his thinking toon tvr said:

No, I did wander over and chat at the Speedferry port and questioned the odd roofing arrangments, but then they started loading so had to leg it back to mine.My 1st time at le mans and one things for sure the french love tvrs I've lost count of the number of waves and requests for noise we had
Actually, it is a pi$$ take really as the food/cooking/beer was laid on for us by friends that live right on the Tetre Rouge corner and in whose garden we camped, so we only really had a tent, sleeping bags, clothes, tools etc and necessary defence mechanisms (super soakers, water bombs etc.)
You're right about the French though, they really like to see us giving it large, especially the kids. Good job I had the Offords exhaust done..........

You had the roof up....???You have let the side down......
Surprised the french heard you with your 'stealthy quiet' exhaust...:lighstbluetouchpaperandstandswellback:
My pre-cats are still in hence the couple of decibels difference between yours and mine! Come to think of it we used your test equipment as well, I reckon this could have been rigged!!
We need to measure Andy and James Cerb its got the best noise I've heard though watch out for the flames!
More importantly hows the family doing? are you settling into a life without much sleep?
Hows the refurb going as well?

Yeah me too they sound fantastic to 99% of people that other 1% (andy w!!)
seem to think they're quiet!
Unless I've missed a trick, I beleive it's a safe bet that ToonTVRs exhaust sounds a whole lot louder than Andy W's right now........... seem to think they're quiet!
So Andy, how is the rebuild going?
