Haven't heard anything from people waiting for their cars! I'm sure there is more to learn about them.

Will there be one at Virginia Waters?

So when do you get yours V8? And yours Mrs Fish?

Are you getting the Typhoin with the sequential or a T440R?

We have a 440 on order but we are still going through the should we do it or not phase, it's a lot of money to spend on one car.

If we decide to do it, I know Fish would like it in time for LeMans 2005, but who knows what the next year will hold.

So have you paid the deposit then and can you get it back?

I hope you get it! It looks stunning!

Failing that you should get the Sagaris instead

Deposit paid, lots of phone calls to try and get some sort of idea when it will be made, and although they have said i can go and spec my car, there seems little point at this stage as at the rate they are being built i'll be getting insured through SAGA

Going over to Blackpool on Tuesday to finalise the spec and will also be meeting a couple of others who have ordered a Typhon and T440R through Hexham HC. Hopefully we might me able to get more definitive timings.

I'm still hoping that I'll have mine by May/June time

Let us know the outcome and take some pics if you can!

Have you considered fitting Racelogic Traction Control to it? Apparently Racing Green have sent a TVR fitted with TC to Peter Wheeler for evaluation!

I spoke to Tony about that but the press car may not have had the final work done yet so I'm not holding much hope out.

See you tommorrow... What time are you getting there, and were are you coming from?

That's a shame. Was looking forward to a ride.

I'll be coming from Middlesbrough (about 130 miles - A66/M6) so will be setting off about 7am - hopefully I should be there for about 10 (barring any wrong turns!).

I am waiting with baited breath on the outcome of his visit... last night he said to me to not let him spec the car as he will have to pay the 10% today as well, I am not entirely convinced that he won't just do it, one he has seen them in build.

He didn't do it, but it is imminent, we had the discussion last night, now we just need to decide what colour. We are thinking of a dark blue, but its just deciding which blue
