Now the BBC have just telephoned me and asked if I will come down to the broadcast studio in the morning and be interviewed about TVR's and what makes them so special.

So the answer was yes and tomorrow me and my Chimaera will be attending for a live interview on BBC Radio Ulster. I will have a guy in a Mustang there as well.

So does this now means I am a Celeb???????

Reason, the nice girl at the BBC says so who do we make the cheque out to and were do we send it?? I am getting paid to talk TVR on the BBC, yea haaaa, some free beer tokens...

Anyone else had this experience or is it just us Celebrities driving TVR's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out this at 10AM www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/saturdaymagazine/

Perhaps the next call will be to join BigBrother! Now a group of PistonHeads might be a whole lot more interesting than the bunch they have on currently.

Great plug for TVR especially when Colin started up and revved the nuts of it. Well done RO! If it really doesn't have 278bhp at least it sounded like 872bhp!

yeah, that Corrado vs. Fiat Coupé thread could provide some interesting viewing. Failing that they could always talk 'watches'

Ah well you know how it goes boys and girls, easy listening music they asked for and what I gave them was good old hard rock TVR V8 Soundtrack.

They stood right behind the Chimaera and I waved at them to move back abit before the revving..

They did'nt and they got both barrels and how nice it sounded...

Great we show nice plug and am invited back for other shows.

Now how much you lot paying me to turn up at the next run then???????????
