Best ever TVR ?

Lol.. sorry - the clouds were looming, in fact it had just been raining, (see pic below at the petrol station 10 mins previous) so that's probably why the roof was on. Don't know why the windows were up though! In my defence, I had only had the car about 30 mins. Was scared to death of the thing as it was, without trying to fiddle with those damn window knobs! 
Getting the hang of it now though. Put 800 miles on it since Friday. Desperately want to get it run in so I can explore the rest of the power band and find out what this car is *really* like.
Had the roof off a bit more now too, now that I've had practice doing it a few times....
Will get some other plates made up this weekend...

Thanks for all the comments guys, I love the car to bits, and the response from people on the street has been amazing to put it bluntly! I watched earlier as I crawled along in traffic, and virtually every single person passing in the opposite direction gave at least a glance over at the car!
Popped to MV again today, and they have said they'll sort me out another plate with the spacing adjusted at the 1000-mile service on Monday. Like I said - the guys are faultless in their service... (so far)
As for the road, the one in the picture is the Ewell-bypass. Runs from the edge of Epsom, past Ewell, and down to the Tolworth-A3 roundabout - in Surrey.
Had an M5 sitting up my arse tonight trying to egg me on for a race. *So* wanted to put him in his place....

. You'll get another opportunity soon Oh, and congratulations Andy - I saw your car awaiting collection at MV and it looked fantastic.
I'll see you around Epsom/Kingston/Surbiton when we're both gratuitously burning petrol
Thanks...
Maybe it was the same one, which would explain why he was sooo determined to get in front of me. Quite amusing really.
He than sat there glued to my bumper, in rush hour traffic and at the first opportunity dived around in front of me... and then just sat there queuing like the rest of us.
Oh well.
We should get another S/E/K meet organised. I couldn't make the one at Christmas.

Hi Andy,
I've mailed you a couple of times in my previous life on the MX-5 list. My missus now owns a Boxster S - we sold the Maz yesterday back to Coventry Mazda.
What did you do with your 10AE ? Did you chop it in against the Tuscan ? I was a bit disappointed with my sellback - they wouldn't go above 9 grand, but hey, at least it's in my account now rather than theirs ! And I've got my driveway back !
Mate, that's one special looking car. I'm desperately trying to picture where your photo was taken - was it on the A3, just near Tolworth Tower ? Speed cameras a plenty round there.
Lovely car, congratulations, and happy motoring !
