So I took the Tuscan out last night, roof off 4deg, it was a real laugh, and then it dawned on me that these cars will be very rare soon. When you drive them you feel special, and most people are very receptive. There will be no more new ones like these and I felt very sad and realized how much we miss people like Peter.

Take care and let's keep as many on the road as possible......

Miss my Griff, had two, and I will have another. I met PW at a Motor show in Brum, he had massive hands, nice enough bloke. Yea agree were not going to see that kind of car in big production again, electric maybe.

Had mines out today, just back from a service and it's purring like a contented kitten, still get such a buzz from it.
There was one little girl @5 or 6 with her mum, who commented mummy mummy look at that nice car, her mum was having to drag her along the pavement, as she wouldn't watch where she was going, it was funny as the traffic was crawling along at slightly less than pedestrian pace, her mum was laughing though as seemed unusual that a little girl would appreciate or comment on cars.

Kind regards,

James.

Had mine out today too. Relatives down & they all wanted a spin. First reaction from my 6 yr old nephew "wow, that looks dead fast". I was actually impressed that he sussed out how to get in it. No one else could smile

Went out in mine today and had a ball. I went out in two last weekend, my old Chimaera followed the next day in my Cerbera, both days mindful that in this weather these cars can bite back, but isn't that why we like them.
TVR heaven is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQLpR3WgHDA for me.

BNG/Back Home 2010 was particularly good because it was a tribute to the Great Man. I had an A3 picture of Peter in the back of the Tamora all that weekend.

We won't see his like again.

Agree. People are generally only interested in financial perfection today though

I collected my daughter from school today in the Tuscan. You should have seen all the kids standing there with their mouths open and saying wow. Daughter (age 10) acted like a celeb and told her mates "thats my ride"

Made a couple of the mums jump when I started it up smile

Talking of Peter Wheeler, what happened to the Scamander?
