We'll be there in the TVR Car Club area, anyone else going?

I'll be going....I'll only be in my rather modest S2 though. I usually go to the one in May, and it's normally a really good turnout, so I'm hoping the August one is too. I'll drop in and say hello.

Cheers

I'm coming up in the Griffith. Hopefully the weather will hold.

I'm busy DIYing today otherwise would've popped over for a look. Have fun.

Great show today. The weather was good after a cloudy start. Loads of excellent cars on show and we got 42 TVRs on our display area which was fantastic.

Great meet today - much better turnout compared to May. Nice to see lots of TVR's as well as Minis !

It was a South Yorks & East Mids 'co-production' so it's at least half Kev's work.

Not seen you for a bit Dave, hope things are good with you.

Thanks guys, for the welcome for me, Mrs Barreti and my Griff. It was brilliant seeing such a great TVR turnout.

Congratulations to the organisers

It's always great to have a Griff at any meet, great to meet you Ian sorry I didn't remember you, I am known for my lack of memory (I think but can't remember)

Better than not thinking but remembering.

I've been ill, lost 2 stone and ended up in hospital for a few days but i got out yesterday afternoon. I'm very well now, a tad weak but fine

[Barreti]

Ha ha, no worries Kevin. As an organiser you must get this regularly.

A bit of feedback for the event organisers, in case they look in.
We were a tad disappointed with the time everyone seemed to be clearing off considering it was a 1 day event.
We left around 3:30 because of the great big Wizard Of Oz type cloud heading in our direction, but even by then we guessed 50% of the cars and stands too had already left so we didn't feel like we were going to miss much.

We should have got there earlier than 12:15 I suppose but for a 1 day event I'd expect the bulk of the people and all of the stands to be there until 4 at least.

The TVR stand was still there, loud and proud, when we left I hasten to add

Possibly because some of us are so sad....err...sorry I mean, into cars we didn't have anything better to do

Thoresby always seems to end earlier than I'd like i.e 3pm instead of 4pm but I think the big cloud scared a few people and caused them to leave early. In the end it only rained for about 30 seconds.

Sorry to hear that Dave, but glad you're now feeling better. Hope to see you soon.

The trouble with Thoresby is when you arrive at 10:00 by 3:00 it feels like it has been quite a long day. Long enough for a fair few leisurely laps of the show.

....and even enough time to give your car a good wash!!
