Bought her on 31st December but work committments prevented me collecting her until... last Tuesday woohoo Unfortunately I'm now back at work so she got tucked up on Monday afternoon. It was however a brilliant first seven days of proper ownership (400 miles of driving, 3 dry'ish days and the rest damp or raining clap )... The car is everything I'd hoped it would be, and I still have alot to learn about driving her..

Photo was taken at a deserted Old Buckenham airfield on Monday morning.. just before I took the hood down.. Look forward to meeting up with you guys soon... byebye

Looks nice - lovely colour. Take it easy in the wet until you get used to her, loads of low down torque can get you into trouble pretty quickly if you're not careful.
I can fully recommend Sebring for servicing over near Wisbech. Their mechanic, Matt, is TVR through and through.

Yeap I've known Oliver for years (God father of my child). He did mention some lucky bugger bought a TVR as a Christmas present to himself, I though it might be you then I recognised the back parking area in your profile pics smile

Hi Mark, Oliver was influential in my choice of car, partly because of his enthusiasm for the marque but mostly because of his obvious honesty... Hopefully he won't read this though rolleyes

Saw the Grey Chim in Kerridges, kept slowing down everytime i drove past to have a gander. Lovely car and a good price.

Saw a Cerbera driving up the road from there Wednesday evening (Cerbera number plate - well nearly spelt it) then a black tuscan this morning. Sounded lovely cloud9

Firstly. meant to say - Oliver and Stephen at Kerridges have been great.

Chilliman: meant to say - congratulations - glad you are pleased with yours and looking good.

Mark: thanks, it's Viper GTS Blue

Kevin: not seen you for ages, hope ur ok, guess I do have a nice pair... (now);)

Justyn: Yes, I picked her up on Saturday. But I think you are going to want to strangle me - or expel me from the TVR clan at least!! I drove home, put her in garage and that was that. I went on Sunday to TVR Essex meet... in the MX5 (please dont shout at me!!!) I guess I just haven't bonded with her yet.

I might just turn up to the run in the.... MX5. I loved the 350i from the day I got her, I just dont feel the same. At the moment, I feel nothing frown

Morning all wavey -
have been a regular PH surfer for some time now, but thought it about time to intro myself on this thread as being a fellow Tiv owner and living near Diss for some time now.

Have owned my S2 for a couple of years and normally try and enjoy an early morning w/end blat in Summer upto Watton/Dereham way and then towards Fakenham as some excellent roads for driving - esp when empty.

Hope to be able to catch up & meet on one of the hoons you've got planned over the coming months. Pic of mine...........
