TopGear Automotive are a new independent TVR specialist who have opened for business in Wolverhampton. Run by Club members Martin Cotterill and Kevin Harris, both of whom are factory trained and have between them over 25 years of TVR experience firstly at Team Central and more recently at Horizon, the company offers fixed price servicing on all models from Tasmin to Tuscan 2. They are offering discounts to TVRCC members on all work carried out with a special promotion on all work booked prior to 31 Mar 07. As a result of some overall changes to the BRSCC calendar announced at the Autosport Show, the provisional TVRCC Challenge Cup dates have changed. In short, Silverstone has dropped off the programme, Pembrey has moved into May, and there are additional rounds at Oulton Park in August and Brands Hatch in September. Full details can be found in the Motorsport pages. Please note however that these dates remain provisional.
If you enjoy driving your TVR then why not think about putting your driving skills to the test with an Institute of Advanced Motorists advanced driving course?The IAM is Britain's leading road safety charity and advanced driving organisation, and the TVR Car Club has linked up with the Institute to offer Club Members access to their "Skill for Life" course on special terms. For full details, please see the link in the members' area (under training) or this month's Sprint. On Saturday, 10th February 2007 at 1900 the THUNDERBALL begins! No, not arguably one of the best Bond movies of all time, but a party like no other in Blackpool. The Empress Ballroom at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool is the venue and it is a magnificent and fitting place for a party in the true spirit of TVR enthusiasts! For those who may not have heard about this or followed the debate both in our discussion forums and on Pistonheads, this event is being organised to say a final thank you to the staff at Blackpool who have built our cars and who have recently been made redundant as a result of the manufacturing arm of TVR, Blackpool Automotive, being placed into receivership just before Christmas. Well Christmas is over, therefore it must mean that the countdown to Le Mans has begun. This year's race takes place at the La Sarthe circuit 16-17 June but the build-up starts much sooner than that. The TVRCC Le Mans booking form will be in February's Sprint but because bookings always go quickly we advise you not to delay. Have you ever fancied something a little different though for Le Mans this year? Yes it's great fun driving through France, roof down but have you ever thought about cycling to Le Mans? Members of the TVRCC certainly have and this year will be the 12th consecutive year that some of our members have cycled the 250 miles to raise money for our adopted charity, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. It's not too arduous, completing just over 80 miles a day for three days and with a suitable back up team to ensure that all of your comforts (within reason) are taken care of enroute. |
