bit of progress on the tvr ,
heres how it looked before and since 1990




im converting it to single turbo with a switchable a/r ,but first ill see if the big turbo makes any boost at all on its own !

and me!! id love to experience the passenger seat

its a 1973 2500m josh ,

funny you should say that nic , i took chloe my girlfriends 13 year old daughter out in it last summer ,and on the way back i said...
'chloe ,do you want to see what its like when i go drag racing?' ,and she said 'er... yes '
so i nailed it on a straight country rd and got no grip in 1st and a little at the top of 2nd and then it hauled well in 3rd and 4th ,,,,when we got home ,she dashed out of the seat ,and ran up to her mother shouting in great glee ' i couldnt move i couldnt move 'doing an impression of a starfish stuck to the wall ,bloody funny at the time .

oh and thank you all for the nice comments .

regards
robert
