Chimera on M40, Saturday

[59fan]

Heading north, just past the M25 slip, about 11:30AM.....I blew your doors off in the wifes red Cappuccino....we were bouncing off the limiter at a reckless 77mph, en-route to the Cappuccino owners club AGM,I wasn't allowed to take the 'S' :(

Err...that must have been me sorry I wasn't concentrating otherwise I would have waved!

I've found the perfect use for that button that resets the tripometer. I hit it each time I see a another TVR - over the past few days I got it upto a record 271 miles and then crawled alongside a Cerbie on the M25 next to the crane that had fallen of its low-loader.

All the fair-weather TVR drivers must have tucked their PAJs up for the winter.

Thanks for being my first spotted after 3 years of trying!

Hi hut49. Think that was me! You were in the outside lane, me in the middle, and you came off at err... M23 junction, or one before (can't remember). Just before you came off the Mway I was behind you in the near side lane and we went over some god almighty bump in the road and the bottom of my car piled into the tarmac!

Anyway to you!

Frankly I'd have been surprised if you had noticed me, the Cappuccino is so small it's almost invisible

I noticed it Ian. Great clods of milky cream flying down the highway, chocolate sprinkles getting in my air vents...

Hey diddyman - pleased to meet you I have a great weakness for Cerbies (which I intend to fix within the next 12 months) and nothing brightens my day like seeing one on the road - especially in the fastest colour!

I think we got away with that traffic jam quite lightly, by the look of it. Me thinks it only happened about half an hour before we got there. I wonder how the hell they resolved the problem! That was one hell of a crane that had fallen off the trailer. Don't think it hit the bridge, but I suspect the poor driver may be out of a job...

Well, I had a Chim many moons ago (and a Griff), and if I did noit have 2 small kids would definitely be back in a Chim 500 as I do rather like open topness. But having said that the Cerb is an awesome beast, and my little uns love it in the back!

Hope to see you out and about soon!

[59fan]

Hopefully next time I'll pass you in my 'S'.....you'll notice that

You'll need to give me clue - what colour do I look out for?

As far as I can tell from your 31/8 post the other distinguishing features of your v8s are that it smells like fish and sizzles like a deep fat fryer!

Does the S stand for Sardine?
