Rob Barff is a right little eBayer too - sold quite a lot and probably most of it is freebies from sponsors / suppliers / left around..... what a good idea!

I bought his race gloves when he put an ad on a PH forum, I now have some rather superb signed race gloves that were steering the Cerbera GTO to its first victory!! Also happened to be the first victory for a none-porsche ever IIRC.

Very proud

He must have tiny hands though...

I got some bits from him from the PH advert, then emailed him late last year to see if he had any DeWalt bits and pieces. Got jacket, poloshirt and baseball cap plus Carlube Tuscan Challenge jacket, pit shirt and beanie hat, also Veryplast Cerb Sp6Spa 24hr poloshirt. Paid what I thought at the time was a very good price, now think I got a bargain and could get my money back easily just with the DeWalt stuff. I was watching those boots, cos they'd match the Tuscan, but the price got a bit steep. Anyone on here get them?

Cheers, Al.

Oh and smug mode off.

Its great to have a bit of TVR history isnt it! Couldnt help but wear the gloves once when I went for a B-road blat in the smart, I swear I have never driven that stretch of road that quickly before or since

I was bidding for the boots, and missed them by two quid. Having said that I don't know what the other guy's maximum was....could have been hundreds.

Uhh, maybe it was best that you didn't get the boots, even if the guy did get them for a few pee more!!

Does that mean whoever bought them must have paid more than that? That's a lot of griff, er wedge

I wondered why you were concerned about him peeing. I didn't realise he was so big he tucked it in his sock!
