Took the S out for the first time today since before Xmas - great day for the 40 mile driving to leave it at Guglielmis in Daventry for it's annual fettle.

Worrying thing is it's MOT day on Tuesday......yikes

Now the weather's picking up I can't wait to get it back next week cloud9

Ian, good luck, don't forget Tony Tiger is an MOT examiner if you have problems. He wont take any short cuts but will offer advice. (PS got the cerb last night...)

Hiya, yes it seems like ages since we caught up. I'm now working at Brampton and so may well call in at the Kettering meets on Thursdays from time to time. Other than that I'm sure a sat/sun trip out would be very good. Mr Skinner may well be up for that too...

Hi Ian, my mobile is the same, the 'external' email is waiting for 'clearance' and may take a while!

First since December! Is that legal?

Just had the window replaced on the V8S and renoved both of them, but parking's getting a bit tricky...

Hi, my drive looks good at the moment! Got some pics, but as usual with me they're stuck in the camera, one day I'll learn how to get the pesky things out (in the 10 min slot the kids allow me on the pc!)

It's very different to any TVR I've ever had before, not so loud inside, but very quick.

Hi Dale, yes Brampton near Huntingdon, I tend to go Mkt H to the A14, not too bad can do it in 1 hour 20 there and 1 hr 30 back most days!

Not sure if it is entirely legal, but it's fun!

I actually got it started today and came to work in it. Just hope there's enough life in the battery to start it again later!
