Funny sometimes how you bump into people with the same interest!.
Today i went up to Heathrow to pick a passenger up(me being a taxi driver) who had been away on buisiness,coming back down the M3 we were swapping conversation ,weather,works etc when i noticed a red E-Type convertible coming down the fast lane at speed, so i pull over to let the E-Type come thru and gave a Thumbs up(as i do to cars of interest),the Lady wrapped in a fur coat waved back and off she went,"Fair play to her" i said and both my passenger and i started talking CARS!!

Well it works out that this guy has a big interest in TVR's and we started swapping imformation on our respective cars,on the return to the mans house i am invited to ogle his pride and joy,and once he had openend the garage door there was a TVR running a 302ci Ford motor complete with roll cage inside that he uses for 'hill climbs'and track days,,outside on a trailer was i think, a Taimar 3000? in need of a bit of TLC.

A good day for a car anorak like myself!
