SPOTTED on A38 Friday

[Gasblaster]

Yellow (i think) new shape Elise heading north at about 8-9 pm. Anyone here? I was the silver TVR Griff that you pulled submissively over to let past when your motor maxed out. Sorry for going so slowly myself, but that bit of road has one or two lethal bumps that would send the Griff airborne at anything over 3000 revs.

Cheers!

Houston we have a problem - one of our TVR unguided missile is out of control - astronaut appears to be suffering from a surfeit of excessive straight line speed and appears to be gaining little satisfaction from negotiating bends at less than pedestrian pace. A38 is a loverly straight road - perfect for your dragster, try staying with an Elise matey on the bendy bits , Cat & Fiddle, Snakey Pass, etc, etc - why is it that, on the rare occasions you come up behind a TVR on these roads - do they suddenly stop to admire the scenery (happened twice to me Griff & Chim) ? Reason is Brunel's wrought iron chassis design not so special where it really counts is it? Keep goin to Santa Pod MasterBlaster, circuit racing for me.

Could have been me on the A38, in a red S2 - but I certainly wasn't "maxed out" as I'm still running it in!

However, during my journey I reached 600 miles, so 4500 revs are now mine Roll on 1000 miles!

Might have been red - it was very dark!

I left the A38 at Lichfield and you (?) carried on up towards Burton on Trent!

[Stoker]

Wasn't me then - I was about 20 miles south of Bristol at that time...

There was a blue S1 a couple of cars behind me on the way home from work tonight (gloucester rd, Bristol) - Anybody here? He/She kept popping out to the right to get a better look!

Turning in a TVR is easy - you just apply some throttle and round she goes I was glad the S2 pulled out of the way though, clearly knew it was beaten, though it was quite nippy for a 2.0 litre. What's that? 1.8 litres? Didn't know they made engines that small!

I just thought us British cars should stick together you know... What's that? Indonesian??! Get away!
