After Friday’s rainy drive, the weather forecast for Sunday morning was good, so we decided to go to the Shelsley Walsh Breakfast Club. This time as a family of 3 rather than just me. This leads to a problem with the TVR’s lack of seats, but a friend was also attended and kindly provided transport, … Read more
This morning our baby was with my parents, so we took the chance to both go out in the TVR, and to get a tank of the catchily-named Shell “V-Power Nitro +” as the car always runs on premium fuel, preferably V-Power. There was a risk of showers, so we left the roof on. The … Read more
No hillclimbing for the Tamora, but I was timing at Prescott today, which happened to have a round of the TVR Speed Championship. It was a sunny day, but not too warm which was good. Timing went well, there were 4 of us on which gave me a chance to have a wander around the … Read more

I had hoped to attend the Shelsley Walsh Breakfast Club as I did last month, although this time with the family. However, the TVR is still away at Neil Garner. This is in some respects a good thing as the dining room refurb has been dragging on and the garage is full of furniture, so … Read more

While I had a suspension health check at Center Gravity, I decided not to use them for my suspension work. The main reasons for this are cost and the difficulty of getting information out of them. It took multiple calls / e-mails to get the reports from the health check day and after I pointed … Read more
Took the TVR out to Shelsley breakfast club this morning. It was nice to have somewhere to drive to, as most of the drives over Christmas have just been to take the car out for a run when conditions / salt allows. Heading off with the roof down at 08:40 it was only about 3C … Read more
As I was curious about how much power my Tamora was making, I took it to TVR Power for a dyno run. I dropped the car off with Jason to get it strapped down, and then wandered towards Coventry to find some food (fish and chips) and got back in time for the runs to … Read more
A busy day for the TVR planned – a suspension health check at Center Gravity followed by a trip to TVR Power for some rolling road time. The health check is not a full setup, but a series of checks / tests to see what state a car is in and decide what to do … Read more
