Looks like it might be just us two then Bryan, unless Steve can get work finished and bring his SEAC

I'll email u my mobile as by the time you get back on line as I'll be off line from Friday at 5.30 (no email at home).

If there is only the two of us it may be easier to go separately, but hopefully we might get a few others, you never know - though I appreciate a lot of us are at PF.

Hi Steve,
We had a great TVR day too. We had the weather, the food, the cars, the time and the company - a top day out really. Gorners put on an excellent display. And re the impromptu sun down dinner a Phil & Michelle's, I'll pass your thanks on to them.

Mr M***JET Ferrari 355 Spyder was realing asking for it wasn't he? He had something to try and prove to trophy girl blonde passenger. I think we proved to him that Blackpool's finest is more than a match for his italian stallion. And if that was your wife outrunning him and taking it easy - I look forward to witnessing her when your fixed seats are moveable and she can get the loud pedal down to the floor .

Hopefully see you both again in the not too distant future.

Alastair - I hope you enjoyed driving the Cerbera 4.5 and it was all that you thought it would be and more!

Hey Guys - good to meet you - even though I had to bunk off early still had a top day - just wished I'd witnessed the Ferrari incident - did jennie really burn him? I bet he was just so pissed at that

The Cerbera was an experience - totally different to the Griff - a lot lighter in every way, it doesn't seem to have that kick in the back that the Griff does, even though I know it's going just as fast if not faster!

I now have a real cunundrum... the Cerbera just doesn't have the same feel good factor as the Griff - maybe it's because for twenty years or so I have also associated TVRs with top down, wind in your hair driving and on a great sunny day like yesterday there cannot be many cars to match it BUT... if I keep the Griff I will never be able to go for a drive on a sunny weekend with Vicki (and by default, obviously baby daughter) in the TVR.

Decisions decisions.... and no I can't have both - already tried that idea and didn't get very far!

Thanks to all the guys at Gorner's - I even managed to wangle a sit in the driving seat of the No 91 Le Mans car - awseome!!!

You should have seen it Alastair. Ferrari guy cut up the SEAC badly - he was messing around trying to impress his passenger about how fast his fezza was. Bad move! Jenny gave it large easily overtaking him though he was definitely going for it. I then had to follow suit and do the same . I think to coin a phrase it was a case of "2 Fast: 1 Furious" . And that was Jenny not giving it full throttle as she cannot reach to get the loud pedal nailed completely down to the floor. That was one incident I will never forget - we kept the British end up, oh yes!

You'll have to order a convertible Cerbera and get Mr Wheeler sketching on the bag of one of his fag packets. Other than that, I cannot see a solution unless you can get an insurance approved fitted baby seat to the rear parcel shelf - risky because the Griff is obvioulsy a 2 seater as per the V5. Good luck with whatever you decide - and hopefully see you again soon.
