Hi Richard,

It was good to meet you and your lad yesterday. I'm glad you bought the 400SE I nearly bought, it's nice it's come up north and is in the hands of a true enthusiast.

Hope to see you again soon,

Colin

Hi Joe

Yes it was Chequers yesterday

I was in my Mica Blue 400SE with my 15 year old son William,
parked in the car park but had to leave about 2.30 ish
Were you there before I left?

Rich

PS I was also talking to Gordon(T Gofer?)before I left
He also lives in Saltaire

Hi again Colin

Nice to meet you and the missus yesterday
Your car looked great (sorry not as nice as the Wedge you missed IMHO!!!!)
I will remember my camera next time

Hope to meet again soon

Rich

Apparently you met my mate Scott Jagdpanther at the Pre 80s meeting earlier this year

I remember meeting Scott, nice bloke.

I don't think i'd ever change your opinion about what's best between the Taimar or the Wedge, but the Taimar is the car that I fell in love with as a child and I didn't want to miss the chance to own one and you seem like you will cherish the 400SE more than I would have done. I don't plan on getting rid of the Taimar but I will own a wedge one day (a true TVR enthusiast has to own one sometime), had a look when I got home and saw this http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/369385.htm , tempted!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know you want one

Once you have been taken by the noise of the Wedge
(especially thru some tunnels)then you are smitten

That 400 looks rather nice and certainly good value
I personally don't like grey interiors but the rest looks pretty good

Are you going to Chatsworth this year?

Yes, planning to go to Chatsworth. Hoping to stop over on the Saturday night, just need to sweet talk the mother-in-law into baby sitting.

Howdo Scott, summers just around the corner so I'm sure our paths will cross again very soon. How's that race car of yours coming along?

Taimar with a V8, now theres food for thought.

Very pleased you all enjoyed it

Its a rather pleasant place let down by a smaller than required CP

Have they enlarged the CP yet? Thelandlord promised he was going to this month!

Peter does a good job meeting and greeting

I was walking the Dales - getting in brownie points before the summer driving season wink

Hope to see you again at meetings and drives - nice wedge! clap

Howdo fella,

Aye summer is just around the corner and Im sure we'll be at one or two of the same events...maybe the Pre 80s thing again?

I took some well planned photos of the older cars at Papplewick and the memory card gave up the ghost....lost the lot irked

The racer is making slow progress, but progress nonetheless biggrin

Got to pick up my engine from Chesterfield which I got at a bargain price. Got a set of Nitron Dampers for £100, fuel tank on the way, front end sourced, possibility of brakes and a wiring loom too so we're getting there biggrin
