I'd totally forgotten about the TVR-engined car! Has anyone crossed paths with it since? Seemed to drop totally off the radar.

I suddenly feel very nostalgic, not to mention old.
I was living and working in Japan when the Yokohama bay Bridge first opened in late 1989. Previously all sorts of interesting cars and bikes used to gather in Honmoku Wharf on the Yokohama side of the bay and at Shibaura and the docks on the Kawasaki & Tokyo side. The new bridge made it possible to drive all around the bayshore 'Wangan' on the Shuto Expressway and over into Yokohama, joining the two.
Of course, parking up on the big parking and rest area at Daikoku soon became a place to meet up and look at what everyone was driving. My impressions were that it was almost a microcosm of Japanese car culture tribes, a kind of automotive Galapagos Islands. Great times.

No offence to Jay or anyone who owns this car but to me it will always be Wyn’s car what a great build fastest Z I’ve be in with a Nutter at the wheel (Wyn) real cool car
Huw and I tried to follow Wyn and his Missus in that car in a drive across South Wales & the Brecons a few years back. That car was a monster and sounded awesome especially in the tunnels at Monmouth. He was a nice guy too. I did wonder what happened to him and that car.

I have been talking to a few members about a get together @ Caffeine and Machine. It has been suggested , that as hopefully a few members will be coming a decent distance , there is a preference for a weekend meet up .
A few suggested dates for a 10.00 Am meeting are as follows:
Saturday 27th April:
Saturday 25th May or
Sunday 26Th of May .
Once the date is decided on, those coming will need to book a parking space ASAP .
Hope a decent few of us can make it.
David
