Hi, whilst not new to PH, especially Biker Banter smile I am as of today new to TVR ownership, specifically a bloody gorgeous S3.

At risk of embarrasing them I will publically thank a couple of people well known on here.

Longers for years of gentle cajoling smash (in cahoots with my Wife I think to get me off two wheels!) and for introducing me to.........

Mr Plow for building a superb car cloud9 and for agreeing to sell her to me woohoo

Big thumbup and thanks to both of you, just completed the first 100 miles and as you all already know I am still grinning and talking incessantly about the drive home

I know a lot of you know the car but here she is

Congratulations from a former S owner and friend of Liam. We would love to see your new car at our TVR event at Easter - see the TVR events pages and look up Cotswold Easter event - As two ex S owners Liam and I will be both there.

Having said that - we welcome ALL 'S' owners to this great event in the Cotswolds, such names as D & C Trim, ACT, Crazy Horses Rolling Road, Carl Baker will be at Neil Garner's Open Day. We already have over 30 TVRs saying YES and we haven't got past Christmas yet!!! I would love to see my old car there too - the one that Wiz sold earlier this year - anybody knows the whereabouts of it??

If you would like to come and join many other TVR's for the noisiest comp, or best kept car (you have a head start with Liam's old motor) do please stick your name down as it gives a good guide with fellow traders etc.

Open to all of you S drivers there - you will be made very welcome. As said, do come in convoy and stick your name down.

Once again - Congratulations on buying what is considered to be one of the very best S3 out there.

Welcome to the forum.

Nice looking car.

Not quite the rush of a bike but as close as you'll get on four wheels with reduced speeds (so potentially less licence damaging!) and probably fewer health risks. Apart from the TVR madness we all seem to have on here! smile

No, been too busy driving biggrin but next weekend (assuming dry) the following is scheduled

Oil and Filter change
Wash/Polish/Polish/Polish
Interior clean (Mrs Cold wants to go at it with the hoover and Mr Muscle!)
And assuming I have got some by then a thorough going over with ACF 50 (if not that will be the weekend after)

And repeat whistle

Certainly interested, is this near Swindon? I would have thought it worth posting in here as a specific topic to gauge interest, do you have dates yet?

Edit, just found your post and replied in general TVR rolleyes

Will you keep the bike? My S2 has been off the road since July this year but has it's MOT is tomorrow morning (I'm sure the steering rack was mentioned last year!!).
The TVR is a blast to drive but I wouldn't get rid of my GSXR, the acceleration is incredible.

Keeping the bike, two completely different experiences, never had a TVR before and enjoying the experience but there will be days when I want to go out on the bike as well and I know if I sell the bike I will regret it within weeks
