Well after 5 years of on/off dreaming I finally bagged myself one on Monday. Had a 150 mile first drive bringing it home to Bristol, and was blown away. 3rd gear takes you to 90mph? Madness!
Currently revelling in all the mates/colleagues' admiring comments, and am looking forward to a tour of Scotland this summer!

Can I add as well how genuinely chuffed I've been with the help of you lot: the tvr boys. From all the tips I've picked up over the last year, to Rich, Adrian and Dave from the North Wales owners' club who were brilliant, to Rich the man who sold me it and was great, it's been a pleasure and I know I'm going to be hooked on that roar of the V8 for a long time to come..

And I officially give up trying to put photos up.. Just spent half an hour trying. Ridiculous laborious method.
Signed up and put photo on photobucket, copied and pasted URL on to post. Why does it still not work?!

Looks a stunner - pop along to the TVRCC meet if you fancy a blast with likeminded...
On here 'optimax sniffer' and 'Miss Pitstop' (or should that be Mrs?) are the fantastic Ro's....

Thanks guys for comments. Am well chuffed.
Will definitely try and meet the south west/Bristol branch of the CC soon. Who's got the blue one that drinks in the Cambridge in Redland? I've thrown admiring glances toward your p&j for a while now when driving past!

Cheers,
Dave
