    Hi from Crawley

    Hi, I'm Dean, a caucasian Englishman in my 40's

    I've been to the Philippines 7 times now, just love the place and the people! I can imagine retiring there eventually.

    Joining this site to hopefully learn more about the Filipino people and culture, and maybe help any Filipinos feel as welcome in the UK as I do in the Philippines!

    My other interest is cars, oh and I live near Gatwick airport.

    Sold my TVR last year ...have had five. All 'Wedge' variations...280i FHC, 2 x 400SEs and 2 x 390SEs. Couple of Lotus Sevens too, amongst other sporty motors.

    Always on the lookout though...fancy a Griff 500 next.

    Here's the last one:

    ... you've been to the Phils SEVEN times, Dean? That's a remarkable achievement! , therefore, to the friendly, online filipino/uk community.

    So many nice welcomes!

    Graham your collection shames mine, I just have the 1 Tuscan! I did have a Chim 500 before.

    Do you ever do the Pistonhead meets? One not far from us in Lingfield this Wednesday evening.

    Thanks again, Dean

    Hello again Dean.

    Nothing wrong with a Tuscan....or a Chim 500 !

    Yes I've been to quite a few Pistonhead meets such as BNGs and Whitby runs, also to Blackpool and most of the 'Big Bad Wedge' meets too.

    Upgrading an S series....

    .


    I also follow the Dunlop Tuscan challenge series and go to as many of the races as I can. I know several of the drivers quite well now.

    Rather a well-known car and driver (Donington last year):
    .


    I usually get to the northern Hillclimb events, especially those with TVR classes, as well as both spectating at and taking part in drag racing.

    Harewood Hillclimb:

    .


    Possibly the most famous Tuscan ?....the one from the 'Swordfish' movie, over from Belgium and stopping over at my friend's house on the way to Blackpool (That's a Chim 450 in the garage):

    .
