Rally reliability

[jerrytlr]

Dear all

Congrats to all who made the rally today, sadly my T350 and ! had to stay at home...been looking at some of the pics and they are great.

Just wondering if it would be fun to collect info re. who had any trouble on the run today- 400+ TVRs, many travelling many miles in pouring rain, general public would probably expect 50% of them to be on recovery trucks by now - so, how many people had problems, and who had a problem free run??

Could be a good indication of how reliable they really are - or not, as the case may be!!

Suggested format for posting:

Model - Year - Problems (if any) or None if everything went smoothly!

Cheers,

Jerry

There was a Tuscan who's clutch went just before Picadilly - really annoyed the cabbies so well done that man
Even better was the sight of a load of TVR's doing the Whitehall lap & a broken down Volvo in the middle of the lot.

Chimaera - 1999T - no problems whatsoever!

Great day out! Big to all the organisers

[jerrytlr]

Just thinking - might be an idea to post how many miles you did too! Apart from anything else, it would be great to know how far some people have travelled for this event..

Had a great day-up to 90 degrees sitting in the traffic then frequent blats up and down Whitehall with no problems at all.Lovely noise echoeing off the buildings as well,well done all!

[sidewayz]

Just had a thought-how much BHP was there in total....apart from awesome of course.

[118]

98 Chimaera, burnt out wipers, 2 fuses blown, included indicators.

4.3 92 Griff. Clutch went in Park Lane 100 yds before the Tuscun on Hyde park corner , me and the long suffering off down the boozer to drown our sorrows. Still had a great day, AA were brilliant.

Almost cooked my clutch during the Picadilly Crowd Entertainment session.


Whoops.

4.2 cerbera. Clutch pedal went to the floor in Picadilly but pumping it got me enough back to keep going. It just didn't like being cooked for 3 hours at 100. It was fine as soon as we got going again.

We only saw 5 broken down TVR's, but a broken down volvo, Aston Martin, BMW 5 series...

I didnt break down but Did pull over once to let her cool down a bit! Closely followed by boss cerbera disguised by clouds of steam!

I saw three others with problems - I'll not embarass them here but no doubt they'll be along soon.

However, balls of steel - that's what you need driving the baddest cerbera and it does that in Haymarket, and you get out in that suit!!! Respect!!

Oh, despite the car-killing traffic, no problems at all, 4.5 cerb, 99.

Cheers

Temperature was 100 degs fans on ,gearbox got a bit tight after about 15 laps of Whithall

About 250 miles today

Great day out! Big thank you to all the organisers

Thanks to the brilliant TVR workers in '99 who built my car and Racing Green who have provided excellent service over the past 4 years - my Chimaera 450 didn't miss a beat all day and the temp never went over 90 degrees even after the tourist fun in Picadilly and then the long wait in Haymarket. God I love my TVR!!

[budaholic]

Cerbera 4.5, 98 'R'........ Run like a dream all day and never missed a beat.

Even in 3 hours of stop/start traffic through Piccadilly. I absolutely love this car, god I'm gonna miss her when she's gone!

Great to meet everyone today and sorry to see a few did have a problems, especially the green wedge in front of me down Whitehall. I really hope it's not as bad as it looked.
