A couple of us wedge Guys are meeting at the Bracknell Cinema car park (With Halfords & Comets shops on retail park.)

I think between 11.15 & 11.45 (I'm getting there at 11.45.)....more than welcome to tag along.

Smashing day and very well attended. Great organisation and atmosphere, even if I was an interloper in a V8 Mustang (Tuscan in for rebuild!).

This one you mean?



No, no-one noticed it - too subtle a colour scheme and too small a gazebo!!

Good to meet you all this weekend - good luck with the new posting - see you at the next one!

As you left someone pointed you out to me (someone on the committee IIRC) saying it was a shame you were too embarrassed to park with the rest of us.

If we can welcome a Renault at Rockingham, we can do anything, eh Rich?

Yep, that one! Great to meet you both Nick. Maybe we'll see you around in the Midlands when we get up there early next year! safe

you mistakenly posted the wrong pic Alan! - surely you meant the nice purple one with the anthracite wheels

I was gutted to see one 05 plate T350 had been keyed front to back.

I managed to get this lovely shot that excluded they scratch though. Hope you get it sorted quickly.

Nice photo thanks, will be fixed soon. It happened at a friend's wedding in Barnsley the weekend before.

It was not the best thing to discover the morning after and to say the least ruined my weekend - some #*'*er!!!! decided to key a number of cars in the hotel car park.

A shame indeed - did not want to spoil any TVR photos with the Mustang being in the middle! However, got feedback at days end that I would have been more than welcome parking alongside so I have learnt a lesson.

Purple - black wheels : it was parked almost behind me and looked lovely.

And yes - that is exactly the colour I would buy if I bought new.. none came along in the colour sadly..

Silver, Silver, Silver.. not my colour.

Mine you - I'm happy with Green and Purple

Hi Craig
Good to meet up with you last Sunday at the polo.
You should have put a sticker in the Mustang saying "my other car is REALLY REALLY REALLY a TVR" and parked with the rest of us
Hope your pride and joy is back with you soon.
Will it be back for the Tuscan weekend 20/21 August?

Great Day, Great collection of TVR's, still not sure about the polo rules and regs but had to admire the horsemanship and skills. Thank you to all the organisers for a superb day out. My Chimaera was feeling a bit out of date and I really must start thinking about a trade-in for a Tuscan II. Still not convinced about speed6 reliability compared to my trusty V8 340horses. Any advice/alternatives would be welcome

Brent - also good to meet up. New clutch currently being fitted (after 10k miles!!) and car due back next week now, but am actually away the weekend of the Tuscan meet which is a real shame. If it was as good as the polo, I will be missing out.
