Just driven back to Reading from a wedding in Essex....
So I have driven down the M11, round the M25 and finally down the M4....
Seen two DB9's, one DB7, several Loti and even a gorgeous AC cobra.... BUT NO TVR's!!!! What is going on?.... are you all scared of the sunshine?

We've done 3 thou in our Griff since June purchase and I think we've only seen one other, that was today on A59 near Salmesbury, identical to ours; in all that time, the only other tvrs we've seen are a cerby, a tuscan and a thousand wedges plus classics and afew other Griffs - but the latter groups were a captive audience at bbwf. That's on jaunts as far afield as Notts, the length and breadth of Wales, North Yorkshire, the Lakes and Shropshire. So, we are quite a rarity out there.

Of course, I'm sure there's loads south of Watford gap though.

Also not spotted: did about 160 miles in the 3000S today (yes 3000S), up through glorious Dorset/Wiltshire countryside and not another TVR in sight !!!!!

I usually do about 100 miles hooning on a weekend and see another Tiv about 1 time in 4. In the G/fs car on the other hand I'll see hundreds of the damned things.
