Hello All,

Last week the dutch TVR carclub visited scotland. Great driving and lovely winding roads.
I took my freshly restored S. It was a shakedown but she managed fine. Only problem I had was a bolt comming loose from the front caliper making the caliper hit the rim ruining it. Furtunately we where doing only 10 mls/hr.

At Carlisle airport to my surprise we run into Ketvrin and gentlemangeoff. Very good to meet you people. I was a bit of a hasty meet but really nice.
Your cars look great! Inspiring!

I had a great time, and will be back next year.

Cheers

Olav Bergman

I'm glad you had a good time Olav. The S is fine for touring if you pack carefully. I've been round Scotland twice in the last few years in mine; the first time up the West coast and onto Skye then into Sutherland and the second time up the West side initially then to the North coast and back via Grantown on Spey. As you say the roads are super! driving
I got some advice re some better driving roads and alternative routes from a contact in the TVRCC Scotland region and they have been spot on so if you want any ideas for your next trip send me an email or something and I'll let you have some more info.

What a nice surprise to see you and your friends from the Netherlands last weekend! It was great to meet you and good to see your S on the road after all of your hard work. What an even bigger surprise to see you all again waiting for the ferry on Wednesday!! biglaugh

I had a fantastic trip through the Netherlands to Germany and I just got home again today. I'll start another thread with photos as soon as I can. Hope to catch up with you again!

Hi Olav

It was good to meet you and see all of the Dutch TVR's and a pity we did not have more time to chat. heres a thread with some photos of the day and apologies that your car is not on there ? I dont know why not ? but I see Graham will be sending you some.

I have just returned from a long weekend in Scotland - went to Cape Wrath and trundled down the west coast including Skye, sadly in my Pajero, not the Tiv but having said that, the weather was so bad I am glad it was not in the Tiv really.

Glad you all got home safely.
