What do women think of TVRs? Quick poll
Discussion
Plenty of women drive them (and must, therefore, love them 
) - several on here (in fact mine had a previous lady owner...)
My fiancee hates it. She hates being in it, and she hates me driving it. Seems to think I am going to die whenever I drive it. Having said that, she is scared of her Ford Ka, and doesn't even feel safe in the Toyota Tonka toy which is arguably capable of coming off better against a Sherman tank.

My wife loves our TVR. She loves sitting in it, we occasionally sit in the garden when it's in the drive and look adoringly at it (sad, I know), she loves being driven in it (she can't drive it) and she comes and supports me during the sprint season, which involves a huge amount of standing around on freezing cold wind-swept airfields for a few minutes competition a day. Bless her! I knew there was a good reason I married her.
Thinking of the last post, i nearly had a coronary at my last track day - Cerbera being driven like a bat out of hell, then cue film moment as the driver gets out in the paddock, sweeps off helmet and out tumbles long hair... Glad my wife wasn't there as I'd have been liable to sign the divorce and propose on the spot!
As for my Tivs, wifey has hated both of them (for the financial implications) but loved being driven in them, more so the top down fun in the Chim than out-and-out back road blasting in the Cerb.

Love it, love it, love it.
In fact its going to be going for a bit of tweeking at Power soon
Then again I am a bit biased towards TVR's with my involvement over the years.
The only 2 TVR's I am not keen on are the Cerb (never really done anything for me and the Griff which I now think looks very dated.)

for me!
I fell in love with the sound of them before I even knew what they were.
I was waiting for Mark (as usual
) outside a shop when I heard this loud rumble pull up next to me, I fell in love with the sounds and looks of this gorgeous car in racing green, I hadn't seen one before, when Mark came out he said it was a TVR Griffith, and from that day,about 10yrs ago, I've always wanted one.
Thankfully Mark too has a passion for TVRS and we are now onto our 4th one, 2 wedges and 2 Cerberas. And when my kids are old enough not to need lifts anymore then I will get myself that Griffith 500 in Racing Green
I love looking at them, talking about them, driving them, I get over excited when I see another on the road, and I get saddened when I hear of them being crashed
I think I am a TVR addict, and if I can't drive the cerb then I'll come onto Pistonheads to get a fix
