So, on the day that many TVR's went to Blackpool to support the factory, my P&J got side swiped by a bloody big coach!!! GRRRR!!! Its depressing.

I should have either stayed at home and realised it was a sad day for TVR....or maybe should have gone to Blackpool instead!

On a positive note, the Helium Soul gig in Blackpool on 18th November is being dedicated to the workers. Speaking to local people (non TVR owners) up there, there is a sense of dissappointment. Shame we can't do a big benefit show or something...but it came as a bit of a surprise.

Hats off to all those that made the trip!

Cheers,

Russ

Thanks Snorky,

Well, could have been a whole lot worse. Sounded horrific! Now have to wait for all the insurance hoo ha to be sorted out, in the meantime I have permanently hidden my car in the garage because its depressing to look at....!

I (unfortunately!!) know a couple of good coachworks in and around Guildford when it gets to that stage.

We had the same experience with our last Chim which some f*ckwit swipped when it was parked and didn't leave details etc etc. I know how it feels.

Hi Guys,

Yeah I'm fine thanks, which is what matters I suppose. Could have been way worse, believe me!

Thanks for the advice on repairs, what I fear is that it will drag on thus preventing me from a good old Autumn blat. Dont want to take it out when its not looking great, even though its driveable.

Looking forward to seeing the Blackpool DVD!

Autumn!!! It's virtually winter first thing in the morning... sorry, forgot you don't do mornings that well

Hope you get it sorted soon, and at least you're okay.

Neil.

Yeah but I work late.

Whilst you are all asleep I am busy writing a replacement for "Stairway to Heaven" and doing other general activities in the cause of Rock.

So there.

Stairway to Heaven, "Escalator to Esher" more like. What on Earth are these general activities in the cause of rock?. I think they might involve copious quantities of "Leff!"
At least your plucking hands are not injured .

Sorry to hear your news at least you are ok.
Had the paint taken off my rear bumper whilst
parked at the weekend. No note left but a near
neighbour had blue paint round his front bumper.
When I challenged him he denied any knowledge
but eventually gave me his details and agreed
to pay cash, we will see. So any recommendations
of a local paint/repair garage please.
