Was a fine weekend for seeing nice motors.
1, Red Wedge in the Esso garage on Havant Road, Sunday 1045

2, Noble Southbound over the bridge about 5 mins later

3, Silver Chimaera through West Town 2030-ish

4, Silver(? it was dark) Tuscan, in a small village just outside Dorchester on the road towards Bournemouth/Poole parked in a driveway.

I didn't wave to any as I was poncing around in a Jag for the weekend and didn't want to get odd looks

I forgot there was a meeting was on this weekend, only realising when a Black Tuscan flashed me coming back late Sunday afternoon through Emsworth, We were in the dark grey Chim M9 TVR.However the Isle of Wight whilst being closed for the weekend was great fun around the roads with hardly anyone about, although Mrs Evo kept having to retrieve her sunglasses from the back everytime the road opened up.

I had my eyes peeled for you Jeremy but alas you were nowhere to be seen!!! What hotel did you stay in?

Any probs getting on the boat? Mine scraped on the way back but was fine on the way there!
They don't mind their speed humps over there either!

Red Wedge in Esso was me!!! First run out for a month, engine now purring, brakes next on list. Are you from the Island?

I saw a red W plate Chimera as I came back on the island, it was parked in Sinah Lane earlier in the day.

Any other TVR owners on the Island let me know?

Well Martin.

We live in West Town (car in profile), the Chimaera you spotted was Rolex Blue? That is local, there is an 'M' and possibly another Chimaera around. There used to be a Cerbie but I've not seen it for a while.

Do you live on Hayling too - or just visiting? Nice to have seen the Wedge, pity I was too soon to hear it you were just walking off to pay another 3 mins and I could have let you out in to the traffic

Beermonster,

We were staying in Sandown but,drove around a bit on Sunday. Did your car reverberate off th buildings, mine did, it was popping and banging all the way down the main street. We looked/listened for the yellow chim too but, to no avail. There was a chap on Sunday whilst we were eating that was riding past the chim with his daughter. He stopped and had a good old look explaining something to her. Then he got off his bike and parked it up and spent 5 mins having an even closer look!. I looked on the way back also but either way on the ferry the car was fine,apart from when they stuck me at the end of the ramp at a stupid angle before they raise it,expecting the handbrake to hold it, pah, did sound good in the ferry mind you.

quote for the weekend "went to the isle of wight, and it was closed".

More road for me then............

Yes I do live on Hayling, I have seen your car parked round the corner from me, I would guess, if you live where the car has been parked you are less than few hundred yards away. I will send you an E Mail with my mobile number, maybe we could arrange a meet at the weekend if you are around.

The car I saw on Saturday was red, but guessing by the way it was parked I would think it was a visitor to the Island.

Not around this weekend Martin but a meet would be excellent.

We supposed to be off to the New Forest on Sunday with my mate and his wife in his Ferrari, but he'll only come out if it doesn't rain!
