Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi to my regional PHers. I have always been a bit of a petrol head and last May I purchased the car I had fallen in love with 5 years ago ( It is a laser blue TVR Tamora which my wife and I hired for the weekend of our wedding in 2005 ). Unfortunately , not long after buying the Tamora and signing myself up to PH, my son fell very ill with meningitis - fortunately he survived this nasty illness and is well on the road to recovery now. Due to this I had very little time last year to use my p&j or involve myself in PH - Hopefully this year will be much better and I hope to make some local events and meet some of you guys ! Anyhow , like I said , I just wanted to say hi and if you see a blue Tamora PN05 flying around Ipswich area it should be me cool ( either that or some scumbag has stolen my car ! lol )

The trouble with TVRs is the towing hook - you have to have one to tow the trailer to pick up the bits biggrin

Only joking I would love to own one - a nice Chimaera with a Speed Six nose - wonderful !

Absolutely ! Could not have said it better myself . Tivs are not for the masses , but for us select few that love them- nothing else will do !

Welcome mate and very glad to hear your son is on the mend.

As for the TVR, I know they can be badly built, expensive to run, will tear your face off without warning, and all the rest of it.

But even knowing that, and having mates that have owned them and experienced all this forst hand, I'd have one in a heartbeat!

Tuscan or Cerbera for me, probs the latter if i'm honest.

May I also echo the sentiments of other PHEAers, albeit rather late! redface

Welcome the the forum - another person with another TVR is certainly always welcome biggrin

Also, I'm glad your son is over the worst and now patching up well smile

As and when you'd like to meet some PHers, please feel free to join us at our Monthly Meet, one of which is taking place on the last Sunday of this month.
The Fish and Chip Run is also taking place in April, which is a great way to meet other local PHers and go for a decent drive in the Suffolk countryside smile

If you'd like to be kept abreast of PHEA happenings, then please drop me a message and I can add you to the PHEA mailing list biggrin

I look forward to meeting you and seeling your Tiv in the metal...erm...well, plastic winkhehe
