Hello Everyone

[tvr-racer]

Hi all,just found this forum and thought I would join in the fun. We have three Landys on the drive ; my series 2a/3 bitsa 109, the wifes flame spitting 3.9 v8 90 with winch and toys and my p38a 4.6 hse on gas money pit. only been into proper landies about 9 months now so still got lots to learn

[antshybrid]

hi mate:yay: glad you chose to stop here:p i know it sounds like a bit of a kindergarten at the moment with the bickering but we are a good bunch really:hahaha: you will have to post pics of the toys when you can!!

Hello and welcome to the forums.... I am sure you will have loads of fun on here :yay:

[tvr-racer]

Thanks Guys ...am just trying to find some suitable pics now but have found one or two for starters

[willowkis]

Lovely landy and what a great picture :smart:

[tvr-racer]

Thanks Willowkis... sorry it was a bit large not very computer literate (one finger typing etc !)
Here is a pic of the v8 90

[willowkis]

Another BIG WOW.... ;) ;) ;)

Do you ever go on the London to Brighton Run? With the South London & Surrey LRC?:yay:

[tvr-racer]

Thanks mate bought it in july as an unfinished project had 3.9 v8 ,winch and bumper ,spot lights already fitted on a mint chassis and only paid £2000 for it (although it now owes me £4000 inc purchase)

[willowkis]

It's worth every penny! :yay:

[tvr-racer]

Thanks mate very kind...am looking to join a club in the Watford area if you can recomend one..is there one in the Slough area ?

[93andy]

Thank you sir very kind...here's a rear 3/4 shot showing the interesting exhaust arrangement

[tvr-racer]

Willowkis...thanks very much will check this out . I fancy doing some off road days/green laning or even a winch challenge when I finish fitting the hydraulic one on the front of the series 3.

[93andy]

Blimey, why they there then?

And I see you have a natio hitch on there, any reason why?

Still looking good though.

[tvr-racer]

Thanks Andy...I think the exhausts are there because the guy who I bought this unfinished project from was going to use it to tow and launch his boat with and the plan was to put the exhausts at high level to keep them out of the water but what a great idea as when you want the v8 soundtrack even louder you just open the truck cab rear windows !!!

[93andy]

Hehe I can almost here that V8 Vroooooooooooooooooom.

[tvr-racer]

You are spot on mate:buck: but it does mate me jump when I change gear a bit fast and the unburnt fuel explodes in the exhaust but the wife says the flames look good from behind !!!

[Bush Tucker Man]

Is that a 280 Tasmin I see there on the drive?


Must admit the idea of a Griffith 500 appeals to me even more than a gift-wrapped Halle Berry:yay:
With an added surprise packaged Jeri Ryan.

'93 Andy' and myself were out a few weeks ago & came across a group of lucky so-and-so's

Like the look of the T350C, but it's still a 'Griff' for me please.

[Fettler]

Welcome to the site mate, your rig looks "spot on".(pardon the pun)
Bet its great fun

[tvr-racer]

Thanks Fettler and Bush Tucker Man ...And yes well spotted !! it is indeed a 280i Tasmin on my drive...it's my racing one..I race in the TVR Tasmin challenge (funds permitting ) and in my last full season I came second in the championship (the trophy looked nicer than the winners !!)
Just to depress you some more (sorry) I have one for the road as well which is a TVR 420 SEAC they are very rare as only 34 were made to homologate the racing version and they are as quick as a Griff 500 on the straights and quicker through the corners
The Race car will be for sale soon as I am getting married in Aug so if you know anyone who is interested let me know

Speak soon

Steve

Nice motor again...Droool

Am looking for a car transporter if you know of any going CHEAP.

Cheers

[tvr-racer]

Dont know of one off hand but try www.loot.com as there some bargains to be had in there... got mine (14'6" long with wheel rack) for £700 from there

[Fettler]

Thanks TVR, been scouring e-bay forgot about Loot I'll have a scout.

Cheers

[Truscotsman]

I'm green with envy lol, some nice sweet vehicles there mate

[tvr-racer]

Thanks Truscotsman they are the culmination of about 10 years hard work doing up ,earning the money and buying and selling
What a pleasant change to talk to some like minded people
