I think was a couple of years ago or so that I did a google search on 'TVR S' stumbled onto these pages and never looked back.

Before I knew it I had bought a TVR - traded stories of joy and pain in equal measure and met some thoughroughly decent folk...

how did you come to be here, and what made you coose you logon name?

mine is rather dull - started as BRGS2 as I had just bought a Brooklands racing green S2 (top marks for originality :rolleyes: )

changed to BERGS2 coz it sounded more like a proper name..

your story...

Followed a link from the (rather inactive) TVRCC forums shortly after buying my Griff. Wish I'd known about PH earlier!

Around 2001 I used to spend a lot of time on the Evo forum (very much like this one really), then mysteriously it shut.

Fast forward a couple or 3 years and I was looking up some of the old user names to see where people had gone after the demise of the Evo forum and PWIG's name appeared on a link here.

The rest is history.

I found the site during a search, I choose my name as the first post's I saw I had a good answer to or at least I thought so big laugh. Anyway I'm getting on now plenty of experience to call on.

Researching the Esprit purchase. Lurked forever and then posted after I had acquired the car...

Ted actually drew me into my first conversation:

I was searching for information before buying my Seat Ibiza, and for some reason PH came out on top with a review. Didnt realise it had a forum till much later.

Looking to buy a 964, found the site and have enjoyed logging in every day since. My name is nothing to do with red italian cars and everything to do with german high class pvc products, google it and see what you find, or dont.

I needed TVR info as a friend had just bought one (now mine). I found so much more.

I found SANE people who I understood. People who lived in the real world and whos advice was useful. I'm glad I found pistonheads. Thanks Ted.
