Just wondering what sort of motoring pain other people endure in order to be able to own/drive a TVR as well? For my part, and to kick off I drive a Citroen C2 turbo diesel on a daily basis - quite nippy but very uninspiring.

TimmyArt who drives a Chimp (and is my brother) drives a Skoda Fabia with a non-turbo diesel engine.

What about everyone else?

Used to drive the Tiv daily but since the commute went up I can mostly be found in £200 worth of 999cc Fiat Uno! (or my Landrover 110).

I have a Renault 5 solely to protect the Chim from having to make trips to the dump

Toyota Supra Mkiv as my everyday car. The Griff gets out to play if it ever stops raining

I have a Tuscan convertible for the weekends and sunny jollies, and have to endure the Sagaris for my daily run-around...

Oh, erm, sorry chaps... have I missed the point here?

(The Tuscan's technically the mrs's, anyway, so that might not count?)

Chimmy is my daily driver and Tusc is for weekends, evenings & posing. So yes - my other car is a TVR whichever one I'm driving

Vauxhall Vectra Automatic...... bought it to use as a shopping car to avoid the tesco car park in my cerb but its been so reliable (or fixable) that I kept it. My second car now is a Chim 500 Taraka.

Mitsubushi Warrior,

During the week high off the ground, during the weekends high on the noise of the V8 Chim (weather permitting!)

Renault GrandScenic 1.9 turbo diesel, company car. Excellent for use with the kids, but very uninspiring.
