The TVR is Gone !!

[350wedge]

Today is a sad day, my TVR Griffith has gone off to its new owner and all i'm left with is an empty space in the carpark and the powerhouse which is my 1.1 saxo.....

I hate having to say goodbye to a TVR, this is the fifth time for me now. Doubtless i will be looking for number 6 once i've eventually found myself a new job and moved etc etc...

Things are not all bad though, the saxo too is sold and that will be going on Sunday and by strange co-incidence, that is when i'll be picking up my new sporty but pracical car to replace them both... What is it??? Well i appear to have come over all French again!!

Details and photo's to follow.....

Gee, tough call doode. Hope it all proves worthwhile.

I thought that, but in original post was the word, new. didnt know if that meant new to you, or a new car

[350wedge]

No its a 'new to me' car, not a brand new one.

And here she is.....!!



Well done Matt, yes its a 172 but of the Cup variety. Not only that its been breathed on in the engine dept and is pushing out 188 Bhp and 171 lb/ft of torque. Its near as damn it as quick as my TVR and certainly much better handling !!

do I get a prize
very nice love the colour too. you'll have great fun in it you going to bring it along to the northants run?

[350wedge]

I'm away on holiday when the next Northants run is happening unfortunatly. I will be bringing it to the one after though assuming i'm free.

The pic doesnt do the colour justice, it really is an electric blue.
