Hi all time to get Spring started, so if you fancy a nice drive up the coast road why not do it on Saturday 26th March, a few TVRs are going, stop at Ballycastle for some fish & chips for lunch then split up heading for home.

So 1045 - 1100 Carrickfergus cinema car park then up the road.

Hope to see you there,

Colin L smilesmilesmilesmilesmile

Correct its hardly through Belfast, but if you make Carrick,(dont need to go into Belfast) once you've done your salt and vinegar intake you can head back across the North Coast and enjoy more scenery.
The cars below should be there
PS cant find a picture of yours ColinL for some reason

You spend too much time talking to Greg tongue out

Really wish I could but its literally pissing coolant out (100ml every minute) from the drivers side radiator on a short 5 mile run - hence it can't go anywhere. Luckily I watch the dials like a hawk and noticed the water temp above 95 and stopped before she`d even lost a litre..

It looks more like a 'hose' issue then the radiator (Given she hadn't been leaking before that and it seems to be from the hose exiting the radiator rather than the radiator itself) but I'll let Greg be the final judge in that biggrin

Great run out today thoroughly enjoyed myself, so many noises to take in! wifey.... kids.... engines...

Think we should name the day appropriately! lets call it "No brakes today" as every TVR owner either drives like a maniac on speed and never uses their brakes or...... and its a big OR 'all our brake lights seemed to fail to work wink which is it?

Pleasure of a drive, great day... weather was fantastic

Peter

PS, Bob, you have better photos of my car than i do..... i really must start washing it, you all put me to shame.

Noticed a yellow Sagaris driving round Belfast on Saturday morning, spotted it from about 700m away (much to the wives amazement...) - It was closely followed by a red R8 and its amazing to watch the pedestrians reaction to the Sagaris compared to the R8 biggrin

They are pure theatre Jim, but you are already aware of that because your a lucky owner!
