Dropped through the letterbox today, and who's is the gleaming Red Tamora in the line up
It had just had its 1,000 service and we went to Devon to get some miles on. Met up with a few of the Bristol Region members, and we had a convoy from Bath to Lynmouth, stopping off at Cheddar To get some pictures.
Fantastic shot Duncan.
Surprising how Griff like it looks at that angle.
With a bit of Luck the T350t may well be ready for the same time this year.
What about a repeat trip?

Cheers
I must admit to being a little chuffed

Can you spot the joins where I edited out the Elise which was parked between your Tamora and my SEAC ?
Apologies to all Elise owners, but Tony wouldn't accept it otherwise....

Kev!
Yup - lot's of things happening at the moment. Read 'Mark Adams' and 'Wierd Cam Timing' under www.tvrcc-bristol.co.uk Event Reports section and you will see what I mean. There is also a video of a dyno session under the Downloads section.

Back Home - Yes please
The battering I recieved in your Tuscan last year was one of the highlights of the year.

The colour of the Tamora is WildFire Red Pearl.
looks fantastic dosen't it
I am half tempted to order my T350t in the same colour.My Spec is presently for Rosso Fiorano (a Ferrari Red),But am very tempted to go back to Wildfire Red Pearl. It is a colour which looks very different in day light to that of early evening, when it goes to a very deep wine red colour.
As you have probably gathered, I love Tiv's in Red

A fantastic picture, has to be one of the best ever cover shots for Sprint. Even the Mrs was impressed and she hates cars !!

Is 'Wildfire Pearl' the same as 'Nightfire Pearl'?? I thought the Tamora on the cover was in Nightfire with the Griff at the end in Rosso.

Too much choice and variety of names!

I have ordered my new one in 'Nightfire' and have yet to see any pics of the T350 in this shade.

Still only about a week to go.........

Hmmm, that can't quite be the original, as it is taken at a slightly different angle. Also there is some stuff in the edited one, that isn't in the original.
I assume it's probably the next one in sequence

Nice job! Did you use Photoshop?

Wonderful what can be done with Photoshop

I'm afraid it is the original. I moved the top two TVRs down over the Elise and cloned into the top right to fill the gap. However, to make it look natural I've done a fair bit of tweaking around the two moved TVRs, the Tamora, the edge of the road and all the cliff on the right from the Tamora upwards.

Put simply, everthing in the top right of the picture is hand crafted.

Oh yes - it's been cropped and rotated a bit for the front cover.

Edited because I can't proof read.....

Duncan,

Nice one! I can still hear the exhaust note rumbling through the gorge - or is it that my ears are still ringing?

Thanks again for setting up a great "TVR day".

They mentioned an article in GOLD magazine about TVR.

I've heard of GOLD magazine...Did they have anything interesting to say?
