I think Ben is talking about the 20 or so TVRs that turned up from the Hants region to the Longleat Hill climb. Was good to see them drop in, bit of a shame it was so wet.

Yes it was us Hi Steve,
yes it was a shame about the weather, I had to change clothes before I got back in my griff too, SOAKING WET!! I didnt see your Griff there Steve when I came back down the hill, so I assumed you knew it wouldnt be starting again and buggered off home! I saw that lotus slide off, close call!!
There wasnt much contest anyway, I knew you would have beat that Datsun

in the wet or in the dry? on slicks or on road tyres?

[Griftwood]

Either!!
Once we would have sabotaged it, he would have easily beat you!!


Gotcha!!...Only joking!! Steve introduced us to you with that gag! Shame about the weather again tho.

In reply to your question Ben, I seem to think it was Dry when you beat me by 0.004secs in April, damp when I beat you in May by quite a bit and dry when I beat you in June by 0.6 seconds.

The reality is that Ben in the Datsun is the better driver in the quicker car, when he hasn’t got his driving head on I can just about catch him. Not a fair contest really as it is a proper race car against something that is used for burbling down the pub on sunny Sundays. Luckily as we know TVR didn’t make slow cars so even in fairly standard trim I can still have a go at keeping him honest.

The re match is on the 20th at Gurston.
