There is usually a couple of Cerberas and other lesser TVRs plus VX220, 360, MG, etc...

Car isn't important. Take a look in the events forum for some of the old threads.

Wouldn't worry about what car you take... ive been along to a few in my Peugeot 306. Always felt welcome and had a good laugh.

It certainly happens on one of them

There is a day we try and stick to, but I can't remember what it is at the moment, each meet is advertised in the events forum in good time though.

Usually somewhere about the third or fourth Monday. I say usually, as we never had a meet in August (I'm rather busy at work and forgot about asking FWD or someone else to arrange it).

We will have one this month as it's the first anniversary of having the Leighton-Buzzard meet-n-beer sessions!

Oh, and your car is more than welcome.

Yes, the usual TVR + superglue vs Honda + hairdryer debate (mmm those could work together) is usually entertaining- to save questions, Gbird fixed his Cerbera with a tube of superglue.


And its working fine now . See you all at the next LB meet, where i'll be demonstrating how to fix a broken Cerbera clutch plate with some flour, water, a cornflakes packet and some sticky back plastic , and Nielsie will be modelling his latest hair dryer attachment for the S2000
