I agree. I really like the first one too. If Dirt Dog sniffs out this thread, I betcha he'll post a ton of car pics, he has a love affair going with 'em.

Oh man! I love TVRs!!! They are my favorite British car, hands down. I love the Tuscan, but I think Id go with the T350 myself... They just look so awesome!!! All fiberglass bodies and sick engines! The running gear is flawless sports car virtue; thats my dream car! Damn, Grubbs! Your freakin lucky! You get to hang around TVRs, and all I ever see around this stupid state is Mercedes and BMWs and Boxters and ugly-Mustangs!!! Mustang = Tacky.
Dont get me wrong; drop about $5k-$10k into mustang and you have one of the greatest domestic tuner cars ever! But who does that?
Any way you could smuggle me a T350 grubbs? I have a friend that'll do the left-hand drive conversion for me, cause forget driving that way here in the States!

Nice pics, by the way! I like the way the Renault looks with that weird coloring its got! Nifty!

No its not mine Lynn, Pistonheads is a web site with a very active forum for pistonheads, once a month or so they arrange a local meet at a pub, we all walk around salivating in our drinks at the cars, and then all "hoon" out of the car park and head home. It was the first time we've been, I not sure if my wife enjoyed it as much as me??

Not a great picture but this one's mine

There were quite a few TVR's there, no T350's though, don't see too many of those yet..... have a look here for import discussions
The car of the evening for me was the Ultima GTR, I didn't take many pictures but this is a side view

The owner built this one himself , can't remember the exact figures but its running over 500bhp from the Chevrolet V8 and weighs around 1000kgs

Dugmar,

I used to work as JJ's tire technician when he was driving for Carl Hogan in the Cart Series. He is a great guy.

He seems it. I used to watch him back in the day in F1 (when they used to pass each other!)
