Just picked up my new tamora so like to say hi to you all
Wife and I went down south yesterday and drove the car back top down all the way 300 bloody great miles also got a great tan as well what more could a man or women want
Spent the whole day cleaning it and it has come up a treat.
I am finding the clutch to be a bind but will have to get over that felt like a learner driver all over again!

Welcome to the exclusive club, congrats on your purchase. What is it about the clutch that is a 'bind', if its the heel pivot, then I know what you mean, but you get used to it very quickly.

Enjoy.

I found the clutch strange at first but you soon get used to it.

Yes just the fact that you have to put your ball of your foot so high up on the pedel. Also the accelerator is a lot more responsive than the chim imo.
It feels great to drive although I have not tried to be silly in it yet.

Enjoy, just returned from Le Mans, where the car performed faultlessly, fabulous through the twists and turns.

My next question is how many Tamoras are in the North east. I was driving down the A19 last weekend and a tuscan S2 overtook me then a Audi R8 followed by a tamora with the same reg,Where was everyone going ?

Hi,

If you email me I'll put you in touch with the Regional Organisers of the TVR Club and then you can hear about all the events so that you can select which ones to join.

I do some but not all but they are a good group.

Welcome to the gang, beware of clutch wearing flip flops mine slipped off in my T350t nearly had a change of pants !!! ive used a little rough wet n dry on my pedals now it gives just a little bit more grip. My Tam clutch doesnt feel as hard as my old t350T either.
enjoy it and grin

It's great isn't it, week and a half into my ownership - though all it's done is rain this week.

Very rare to see Tuscans round West Yorks, see quite a few Cerbs, Chims and Griffs but have never seen a Tam or T350. The T350 at SSCC where I got mine from is an absolute stunner, just had a full respray too

I think the Tam has been sold but will find out on Saturday I am taking mine down there to get it serviced and a few jobs done.
