I think the term you are looking for is a case of coat hanger mouth.. NOTHING and i mean Nothing. quite hits the mark of driving a TreVoR in the sunshine with the roof off....

Congrats Nick.
Yep, is your face aching ?
Do you keep having to "get something from the garage" ?
Are you developing your "100 different ways to look back over your shoulder as you walk away" skills ?

There's no going back.

Happy driving just in time for the summer.

Tony: I can relate to the aching face, trips to the garage, and polishing my skills of trying to get rid of the kink in my neck....... I got all 3 cars home but can't figure out which one to drive as they all have their own good points. Come on by and watch me go around in circles and then we all can go have a TVR fix............ Are you here in Calgary soon???????????????









Hopefully before the glue loses its stickyness or before something falls off.

Hi Wayne,
How are you. When's this years Woodwork meet. Going on holiday late June / July so dont make it then.
Havnt been to Calgary for 2 years now since I managed to drop the Service side.
I've got guys from the German office visiting Calgary in about 3 weeks but not planning to be with them unfortunately.

Woodwork is the 24/25/26 of September this year. Want ticket again???? ( We will be taking Spousal Units V8 Taimar) I may have some pull. Do your guys from the German office understand TVRs and would they be willing to rescue a guy from a visiting father as mine will be here from May 15th to June 16th and we have to cancel the All British Show in Radium B.C. that runs June 11/12 and 13 because of him. We do have a BIG LRT expansion now underway so we will need new trains. June July holidays sound good. Where is SWMBO letting you take her?? Have fun. Check Wirewheel.com in Vera Beach Florida and there is a guy in San D. with a shop full of cars.

Chelsea put my car sideways about 3 weeks ago with me in the passenger seat and now she just wants to drive the supercharged 2500M.


Quick question. Do you see many LHD Cerbs and Chims in Germany??
