but I took my Cerbie out for the day in and around Como Lake and got involved in the following:
1 ) random custom car event which I entered and left after 15 minutes. Lots of Punto and Alfa 147s with tacked on body kits. Showed them what a 'proppa' car was as I span it out of the field they had congregated in! Chav/Max Power is rife in Italy too it would seem

2) Tunnel Love!! Discovered that there are 3 stretched of 1 mile each tunnels around Como Lake - cue 2nd, 3rd full beans, pop pop pop, big grins!

3) On the way home, deserted motorway, remember I am on UK plates and hence no camera worries. Me driving along happily at 60/70 (saving fuel!!) Get flashed from behind by a brand new E90 M3 on.......Swiss plates!! Cue much naughtyness for 5 or 6 miles but all in good spirits. Got to say that either he wasnt really trying or our old cars still pack some punch. 70 to 130 mph through 3rd and 4th and I was pulling away like a train. Very surprised given he has over 400 hp against my 350 Speed Six.....must be a goodun!!!

I apologise in advance for my stupidity, recklessnes blah blah but we're in Italy where the police dont bat an eyelit if you go past them at 100!!

Growing up can be so boring.....
It's good to see someone else enjoying their TVR to the full.

Happy days

My gran was right.

TVR's are the proof that boys never grow up, their (our..?) toys just get bigger and more expensive!

Not big.

Not clever.

But loads of fun biggrin

Went down to London on A1 over weekend, both discovered the long tunnel near W. garden city - great fun in 2nd gear, despite the 40mph average......... after all, I did only do 40mph AVERAGE!!!!
