Hi Matt - I've not been to PB for a long while, so I doubt you would have seen my chim there. Mind you, I'd be interested to hear if you can recommend a tiv servicing place there. I used David Batty for a few years, but went to Top Cats a couple of weeks ago, as that's marginally closer.

Ah, so that's who the blue Chim belongs to. Seen you a few times now 2SB. I passed you on the dual carriageway near the M25 junction on the way back from London Thunder the other weekend....

Yes, less than 10mins walk away, in Jersey Farm, in between the drive I saw your car on (I would think yours...) and Tescos.

Yup, it looked pretty spangly last night as I waddled back from the Garibaldi!

There must be two Chims around here with V8 at the start of their plates then....

Hi Toby, I use Kimberley Motors in PB. Rumour is that they used to do some of the servicing work for the TVR Centre in Arkley, and the main man there, Jason, did a stint on one of the Tuscan race teams back in the day and is an absolutely top geezer. If you work in town it's dead handy as they are only around the corner from the mainline station.
Mail me if you need the contact details...

cheers, Matt

I saw a V8S earlier today. I havdn't seen a TVR round here before, then two turn up within two weeks.

I also saw a new Ferrari F430 spider and a Chevrolet Corvette.But the V8S was cooler and sounded better in my opinion!
