Obviously in stealth mode.....

Did 650 miles Friday to Sunday, up to Scotland and back, many of them in convoy with 14 other TVRs.
Not one "spotted".
Amazed.

Hi Anthony,

how was the motorway drone from the left of the car? My Lorraine doesn't like those long journeys.....

My Lorraine was happy thanks, but three things made it better for her:
1. My Tuscan seats are, we both find, really comfortable.
2. The turbo has an unexpected side effect - it makes the car a serious load quieter, and drone-free
3. When she has had enough noise she just switches off her cochlear implant - blissful silence.

I also modified my TVR driving style to be more Volvo, and she pressed the dash top and the left hand brake pedal alternately when we got too close to the car in front for her liking.

But she did like the acceleration when the repmobile drivers finally ran out if anything to overtake.
And the dump valve "whoosh" that always seemed to co-incide with being alongside a Lycra of Cyclists (as I believe is the collective noun) whilst overtaking them .

glad that went well - you will be off to Europe soon?

re the three mods, Tuscan seats are of interest

I've been driving mine for over 35.000 miles now. Numerous Scottish and European trips over the years both alone and in convoy, and yet despite a distinctive TVR number plate, I too have yet to be 'spotted'

I have been spotted once in 35,000 miles and 5 years driving.
