Dursleyman spotted?

[prlee]

Funny how you are never in youre TR7 when you spot another on the road. In this case it was this evening, a red TR7 DHC crossing the A38 from Slimbridge to Cam Gloucestershire, I was travelling south on the A38 in my modern.

Half saw the no plate looked very much like the one on Dursleymans red TR7.

Was it you Russ?

<font size="2">Guilty as charged. It was me.
I was out testing the Sprint engine I have fitted after the old standard one blew a piston. It was supposed to go in the "project" but I had to bring it into service a bit sooner than expected.
Still needs a bit of setting up but in and running OK.</font id="size2">

Hi Russ,

Watched the car in my rear mirror as you went round the island. The TR7 looked good, made me wish I had one, then I thought - I do!!!

I fancy a sprint engine sometime, but have to get the Spitfire sorted first.

Its happened again [:o)]

All this week I have being using the TR7 for work enjoying the warm weather, and because of the weather I decided today I would take my modern to work to get the tyres swapped from winter to summer.

Driving home south on the A38 there he was heading north!!!

Russ, next time I will make myself known so if you see a bloke in a black VW brick flashing his lights madly, it will probably be me. [:D]
