Well whoop,whoop with lots of jumping up and down

Four days time and I pick up my first TVR and other than my Integrale Evo my first big mother of an engined sports car.

Actually I feel like a kid waiting to ride his first bike,how the hell I'm going to last until Saturday, friday night I'll be sat on the sofa ready to go.

If you see a grey chim driving round chichester it'll be me and the wife with a big grin across my face.

Am I sad or what!!!!

Chim is a third car for weekends and any other days when the weather is good, just hope it won't mind not being used every day.

Was your car at Brands the other week for the GT's, has a look round can't wait to join the fold officially.

Congratulations .

It should be OK as long as it gets used regularly. Mine gets out about once a week on average (for 100-350 miles) and hasn't complained yet.

Enjoy

It's the opposite for me, guys. 4 years of Cerbera ownership (5 years total of TVR ownership) is about to come to an end tomorrow when I sell my Cerb.

When we went for our Griff, saturday morning lasted 108 hours! Or seemed too!

We are both big motorbike riders, but they seem to have hibernated early this year.

Should be able to clock up a few miles as we've got another house in Cambridge and we have to go up there this weekend, let's hope the weathers nice to us.

Will try not to scare Sian too much

If you see a grey chim give us a wave

Be really careful when parking etc until you get used to it's dimensions. As for the excitement bit I drove my car so rarely that when I was about to fire it up I used to get an adrenaline rush and tremble I had to drive really carefully until I settled down. What a rush though. Can't beat a v8 rumble.

I shall be taking it easy, I've grafted hard to get it, this weekend I will mostly be going back and fourth in the Portslade tunnel,because I can, and I've always wanted to

We're going up to Cambridge so i'll be cruising along with the roof down.

11 hours to go

Is the Portslade tunnell the one on the new A27 bypass bit?
We did that not so long ago and I was a bit unimpressed to be honest, I think it is too tall and wide.

If you want real booming take the back road from Emsworth to Rowlands Castle past the station, first you go under the railway and then under the A27 - that is impressive, I have made people jump there
It's even better coming back the other way.
