Nowt wrong with V8 music Rob. Seen several TVR Vixens today being driven indecently quickly, in fact I can see two of them from where we're camped and right outside our side door is a Lotus single seater that's been dropped off ready for tomorrow's racing. Seen loads of Caterhams today as it was a round of the Caterham challenge/trophy/cup or summat like that It might be just the surroundings but these Caterhams look tiny compared to my Dragon, the nose is a load wider on mine now!

I know the purists will shudder in their boots but I will sympathetically butcher and customise it to be like the black one on piston heads At least it will be how tvr knocked them up in the first place by robbing bits off just about every car that was made. I have got all the doors,glass and stuff like hinges, engine and box, suspension and steering.

Not exactly sumfink wot I buyed but a few photos from Loton Park Hillclimb this weekend.

Gave the MX5 a bit of a thrash round the empty car park at work yesterday afternoon and I reckon it could be quite quick. Needs a cambelt, new discs and pads and some better tyres but I've got till the end of March for all of that stuff.

Good call Bob, would be great to put those together.

I'm surprised though that the TVR chassis is more designed around the tunnel than the outside (leaverage and all that with the stresses involved).

All the tvr chassis are built around a spine with the outriggers just supporting body and floor.

Heres a piccy of the wide arch shell.
