BRIGHT red TVR S, rumbling past my garage at the bottom of Scotswood Rd.

Any takers?

Hey, that was me! Last week on my way to/from B&Q, I think...

Thanks for spotting me and I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to join up and say hello. I was away most of last week and only just read your post, although that's still a pretty poor excuse 'cos I've had the car for a couple of months now!

Are you guys going to BNG at the weekend?

Okay, great. I'll be coming from Newcastle, so will probably try to meet the other TVRCC people at Washington. Hope to see you in Harrogate though.

Just been following the other threads - sounds like there'll be (at least) a couple of convoys going down to Harrogate at various times.

I'm quite new to all this, so I really don't mind getting up early to drive through Harrogate with a load of other TVRs. But I'll definitely look out for you at Newby Hall, if you're going later - looks like most people have fairly recognisable cars.

Hmmm... anywhere near the old derelict ICI office block? I sometimes hear a TVR-style exhaust blasting up the road near my office...

Yeah, it's definitely the same one - BRG with a biscuit interior. I used to check this car out quite a lot earlier this year when I was looking for an S of my own. It's got some nice looking seats with 'TVR' stitched on the back rests.

Are you sure?? I know there is something about the prospect of a lady driving a V8S ...but I've only seen it moving once and I couldn't be sure it wasn't a dude with long hair. eek
