W as that my car?????????????????

[dicky]

Driving to Guildford today and saw a GTS Viper blue Tamora coming towards me. I looked quickly at the plate and saw it wern't mine thank God, but did smirk as the rear plate was in it's usual "one bolt off" position. You looked like you were enjoying the sun with the roof, but stop impersonating my car!!!

Nope it couldnt have been mate, cos yours is always in the garage being fixed. That is unless the person was pushing it along at the time?

Saw a (GTS Viper?) blue Tamora earlier this week at "The Meadows" near Camberley. That was one grotty morning and I think we were both trying to negotiate a roundabout (in opposite directions) and both had our hands too full to

(Otherwise, I wasn't ignoring whoever you are!)

Good to see one on the move

Glad to see you are still looking here John, by the way I forgot to ask, How is the Cavalier Forum these days?????

Hi Chaps,

Guildford and the Meadows were me, only had the car a couple of weeks. The darn screw keeps coming out of the rear number plate, need some double sided sticky tape. Too true with regard to concentrating, slowly getting the confidence up.

Lets hope the sun shines this weekend.

Stephen,

Was that you in the blue Tamora that I passed on the outskirts of Bracknell on Saturday morning around 11.00ish?

I was driving the silver Tuscan heading in the opposite direction.

[dicky]

Good for you Stephen, I was in and around Reading area on Sturday abot 12 ish, but I too lost both my screws of the rear plate. Good thing for the tape, but know it won't last so I shall be trying to sort out some Locktite!!!!!

Re fixing your licence plate, I made the following contribution previously - fix now running for c. 6000 miles:

...you should check your muffler for damage due to fit of the rear licence plate. Mine had been fitted (crookedly) using metal screws tapped through the aluminum heat shield. At op temp the muffler expands (doh!) and there is an interference that has dented my muffler (2500 miles), but could cause much more damage!

I did what the dealer should have done in the first place and installed using 8mm "Raw Plugs" (avail @ FocusDIA) and 12mm screws (from specialty h/ware store). 300 miles and all seems fine.

[dicky]

well just done mine with bolts and locking washers and nuts, all seems ok but shall have to wait as yet again she is off to the garage, hey ho never mind.

[SpudGunner]
