Only in a TVR...

[T40ORA]

Pulled over from the outside lane to the middle lane today to let a bike pass me.

He seemed to be taking ages to get by, so I looked out the drivers window to see him along side. He looked at me then did the Italian 'kiss the fingers thing' as I sign (I hope!) of bellisimo!

Then he popped a wheely at 70 mph and sped off.

Made my day.

Would make me smile too..

Not all tw*ts out there.












Mind you..good job he didn't bin it it whilst wheelying!

I had to nip to Tesco today so I took the Sag to Catterick. Swinging out of the car park a lime rolled out of my bag onto the floor and then under the passenger seat. As I needed it for the zest I didn't want to leave it there so I pulled over in a bus stop. As I jumped out to run round to the passenger side I saw that a bus was coming. I waved in apology to the driver as I ran back round to the drivers door. He then sounded his horn. I turned round expecting to receive (and return) some invective and he was smiling and making a gesture implying that he wanted to hear some loud pedal as I pulled off. I was happy to oblige...

We were making progress over Snake Pass one very early one Sunday morning -in the Chim - when we were joined by a group of five or six big bikes..

No other vehicles were around , so much Hoonage ensued .

Culminated in the bikes doing a Fly Past ,i counted at least three of them on the back wheel as they fked off into the distance.....

I would defy Anyone, with petrol in there veins, not to feel the Emotion ..

It's great that school kids still know what TVR's look like. Even an old Chim like mine! "WOW, its a TVR! Awesome!!". Would be rude not to light up the rear end and disappear in a cloud of smoke grunt and V8 roar

Some of us owners ride bikes too

A time i had with my old Chimaera was a trip to the IOW, me and the wife were sat in a bar looking out (keeping an eye on the Chim) when a father and son walked past and the father must have spent a good five minutes telling his son about TVRs and the noise they make, made my day.

Had a couple of bikes follow me last summer. When I pulled in, one went passed, turned to look back and shouted 'great car mate'. He almost crashed while doing so, but managed to stay on.

I notice lots of cars drop their windows to hear the TVR rumble as I pass, and mines not that loud!

When i was younger, every time i was lucky enough to be behind a TVR i would tag along/catch up just to watch and listen hoping one day i would own one

Dont always assume someone up your chuff is there for a race

Ok i havent got a TVR at the moment, but soon!! (and i have owned a Cerby so that counts in my book!) I always nod to a blue tam on the way to work, pass it quite regularly, think he thinks im mad...

Any serious petrolhead likes bikes and cars! But i have yet to find a bike that holds as much road presence as a TVR!!!

And another one!

[wedgeinald]

I think this come close??

I was denied the joy of motorbiking as my step brother was killed on a bike when i was about 10 so I was not allowed to have 2 wheels.

But I do enjoy TVR's very much....

A Suzuki Hayabusa with race cans is pretty close. Spits and snarls and throws flames whilst banging on over run....... Then u go to it an hour after a ride and it wont start.Lol. How much more like my Chim can it get

PS.Havent got the bike now but wish i stilldid. Complemented the mentality of owning a tvr perfectly.

Sold my last bike (ktm superduke) to fund my tvr....

[nightflight]

There does seem to be mutual respect between bikers and TVR drivers (yes I'm a biker aswell), and have found the same when in my Exige.

[phlap]

Happened to me the day I bought my first Chim on the way home from collecting it. I thought 'Im going to like this TVR lark'. I was correct.
