Supercar Sunday
Discussion
The Sagaris looked amazing and was well worth the win. Good stuff.
I thought the 'relaxed' attitute towards health and safety was interesting for such a big event. Letting novices into a small enclosure to hoon about with nothing more than an unsecured fence was most un-british. Then again that probably shows how used I am to the nanny state way of life that is modern britain.
Good work by the TVR boys and girls. By my count the biggest single marque turnout at the show.

TVR's nearly made an even bigger impression by coming less than inches away from wiping out the stunt bikes and Russ Swifts cars (light blue chimera?)
That would be Dave Coates and his Motorcycle stunt team. Got to say he did'nt look very impressed. Hope the Chim driver had some spare underware with him!!!Excellent event (first timer).
Have to say the Black Chim in the noise test should have stayed in longer...... well longer than the MX5 anyway. Would like to thank the black mustang owner also. After being asked to mover up closer to the other cars he revesed to within three feet of me (in line with the exhaust tips) and redlined the car. That car was painfully loud and undoubtdy on peek db's would have won loudest there!!! Think the lambo should have won though.......What a sound!!!

However, the bloke with the major burnouts definately recovered the TVR credibility.
That was me with the big burnouts. Next year even bigger burnouts and an even louder exhaust!!!!!!!! ThanksHowever, the bloke with the major burnouts definately recovered the TVR credibility.

You did look a tad uncomfortable!Good job the aircon in the 'stang is capable of working well in Death Valley
I thought your chim sounded great by the way - de-cat and sports exhaust perhaps?
I've had a couple of wedges and a 5ltr Griff in the past. The joys of starting a family means 4 seats are a must these days.
Anyway - good to meet you (sort of

You know what it is like with other marques, they all look the same!!! At least I got the model right even if I could not spell it properly.I went the Marcos route instead
and was doing the Dream Rides so got a VERY close look at all the drifting as we were right on the barrier and downwind - ended the day covered from all the tyre smoke... would not have it any other way! 
Just need someone to bring a 1960's Tuscan V8 next time... please... anyone?
I've put some pics of the TVRs here
