At Last - She's here

[DICKY]

Well after buying the tamora at the Motor Show in October 2000, I am going to take delivery at 1400 tomorrow. Can't wait, been envious of you guys for months now but at last my time has come. Gonna get the 1000 miles done soonish as she is off to Le Mans, here's hoping for a dryish day.

Morning Richard,

Looks like good weather for it then just take it easy as I would like to see it in one piece at least once

[nubbin]

Congratulations, Dicky. Hope the weather improves so you can really enjoy it! Let's have a few photos, then!

Dicky, so you ordered at the 2000 Motor Show aswell! So that means TVR took at least 2 orders at the Show!
How come you've waited until now? I specced mine up last September and the got one of the first couple of cars at the end of January.
Anyway it'll have been worth the wait. Good luck.
Cheers..... Andrew

You must be fit to burst, with only four hours to go.
I have had mine now for three weeks, up to 800 hundred miles, and booked in for first service next week.
Still got the big grin
Will be even bigger I suspect next week, after the service and so can start building the revs.
Also, apart from a couple of very small bodywork nigles, which are being put right when it goes in, there are no mechanical problems at all.
This is the second new TVR I have brought, and I also had no faults with the previous Griff.
Enjoy, and don't forget to post the picies, if you can drag yourself away from the car

3, Andrew, don't forget me!! BTW, Check the PH meet thread - I've arranged for S, Yorks. boys to meet at J31 of M1 at 11 a.m., so I'll see you there, or if you're early, give me a call. I'll send you my phone number offline. Duncan.

Don't worry Mark I have every intention of keeping her in one piece but can't wait to see you 2nite!!!

[markjenkins]

Have you noticed there may be an outing to Virginia Waters on Sunday (Check out the General TVR bit), are you up for that one?

Oh and I am looking forward to the passenger ride

it took a while longer as I had the order with Fernhurst, who GAVE up the franchise last year. So we thought a bit and decided what we were doing that's the reason for our delay

Did they fall or were they pushed??.....depends on who you talk to.....

Enjoy the car, getting mine back today after a week on Holiday at TMS.... It sailed through the 6,000 mile service but they have been waiting all week for a new part for the electric window which was playing up...

Just want my baby back....

The way mine has been running, the problems have already been sorted by TVR! Granted. a few minor trim niggles, and I could pull the gear lever off because some twit had forgotten to put in the retaining screw, but mechanically 100%. And SOOOOOO FAST!

[DICKY]

this is bad but not surprising,it is 0543 in the morning got to be at work for 0800 but up now wanting to drive her. The sun is nearly out and the roof will be off. Now i understand why they wanted to get me to but a soft top, it is all crystal. I just hope this doesn't were off, i am bouncing so high my head hurts!!!!!!! and with only 750 miles to go before next afterburner stage and service all booked in before Le Mans, I is ready.
ps how long does it take to set up the dash?

[ap_smith]

5:50 this morning.. hahahaha!

Congratz Dicky, go enjoy.... I don't expect to see another post from you until midnight
