    New member

    Just a quickie to introduce myself as a new member.

    My real name's Ian but just about everyone calls me Grover. Hello all. :wave:

    I live near Bristol, am a TVR nut, and becoming that way with watches. I don;t have anything to brag about yet but hoping to expand my meagre selection.

    Daily wearer (usually - flat battery as of last week) - posh one for evenings (daily at the mo and loving it) - gadget/toy fun.

    Have several others, mostly Seiko and a few others I ought not to mention in this company.

    Looking forward to learning more about these fantastic pieces of miniature engineering and hopefully buying a few too.

    I've just noticed that you live in Chicken Sodomy :D

    I've been pissed there more times than I care to remember.

    I don't suppose you know Fub ?, he's a big bloke who looks like Billy Connolly and Bill Baileys gay love child :shock:

    Sorry dude, I don't know anyone called Fub, but the picture you paint is familiar. Shortish, maybe 5'9"/10", balding on top with long straggly dark hair, longish goatee, salad dodging type? I see someone fitting that description from time to time, probably Royal Oak or The George. I'll ask next time I see him.

    Thats the guy, and a pretty damn accurate summing up as well :lol:

    Hello and welcome! :D

    Interesting that your are a TVR nut. I'm not one, even though I respect the brand very much. I have only seen TVRs 2 times in flesh and both cars were on a trailer after they had crashed at the Nurburgring :(

    Apols for dragging this back from the dead.

    Saw him not longer after this post and said Hi for you. There was a band on in the Oak so it was more a shouted exchange but he knew who I was on about. :lol:
