TVR owners local to Milton Keynes

[Chris_Von_Bron]

Although I've sat in a lot of TVR's I've never ridden in one. Are there any owners of Tuscan's, Cerbera's or Chimera's local to me that would like to meet up? I have a DeLorean DMC-12 which if of interest I could return the favour of a run too...

Not stock...

I'm keen to know particularly what owning these fine machines is like so I can hear first hand the facts and not the myths of ownership.

Best wishes,

I'm in St Neots but am often in MK - have a T350 though. Happy to trundle over one weekend for a shandy and especially a nose round a De-Lorean.

[Chris_Von_Bron]

Fantastic Zippy. Ta for the quick response.
I'm a big fan of the T350 too.

I've just sent you a PM.

Hi Chris . There is a TVR meet on Thursday evening (15th) at the pub in Holywell (nr St. Ives). You'd be very welcome and you could view lots of different ones!

I assume that was your car on the MK Classic tour last year then. I was the bloke in the big yellow 4x4 Dakar.

[Chris_Von_Bron]

Thanks for the invite Amazon, I'm going to elsewhere that evening. Is there another get together planned?

How could I forget your car Eliot, very distinctive! Yep, that was me and I'm looking forward to doing another one soon.

Pretty sure there is a Herts and Beds meets this Sunday (18th) at Tudor Oaks, on the A1 near Baldock from 11.30 onwards.

Cut and paste grid ref into Google maps. (Grid ref +52° 1' 49.66", -0° 12' 58.69" (52.030462, -0.216304)


I hope to get my Chim back in time. If I do you can come to Bedford and we'll drive down together, or see you there.

The Herts & Beds Meet is this Sunday. I think there are a few people heading off from there at around 1230 up to Silverstone for the GTCup racing .

I am sure you'd be made very welcome if you wanted to join any of the above!

Then of course, there is the Chatsworth meet on Sunday 24th April - further to go, but lots and lots of TVR's (676 last year I think it was!).

Oh b*ll*x it's that time of year again - do I get hung, drawn and quartered by the masses if I turn up in a Lotus Evora loaner?

Hi Eric - Nah, I think you should get away with it okay Hell of a haul for you though! The Chimaera would be fine, but will the Lotus make it okay?

[900T-R]

Well, the Chim is in the shop, stripped from its intake gubbins in preparation for head gasket-ectomy I'm afraid and I'll be in the UK test driving said Evora (kindly provided by the good folks in Norfolk) from the 21st to the 26th, so the Lotus it will be...

Chris, you also might like to get along to the TVRCC Northants meeting at The Aviator Pub, Sywell Aerodrome on the second Thursday of the month from 7:30pm. I'm sure someone (including myself) will be happy to give you a ride. Bring the DeLorean - we're all petrolheads (at least one member has a Lambo...)

[only me]

I have a 5ltr Chimaera and live just off junction 15 if you are interested in sampling PM me.

Tony

Thanks for the TVRCC inviteZumbruk,
I'll come to the event this Thursday and hopefully meet alot of other Piston/PetrolHeads there.

Cheers

I really enjoyed the Aviator meet the other night. Must have been around a dozen TVR's from early wedges and Tasmin through to a Tuscan. An '89 Countach in black turned up and then a Radical... A really friendly, fun bunch of owners and a great venue!

Thanks to Tony for not only taking me out in his 5L Chimera but for the opportunity for actually driving it too!

Huge apologies for not being there. TBH, it completely slipped my mind.

Still, I'm glad you had a good time.
