Now I''m no marketing guru, but ... If you''re going to do some joint marketing exercise, its pretty important that the company you team up with has some similar attributes to you. For example you might do something like "Buy a case of champagne and get a pot of caviar free". It''d be unlikely that the caviar people would be happy to participate in "Buy 12 bottles of ketchup and get a pot of caviar free". See what I mean? So what do we conclude from TVR''s current involvement with "Product X"? The deal is that if you buy "Product X" you get entered into a free draw to win a brand spanky TVR Tuscan. And what is this mystery "Product X"??? Why, it''s a frozen meal made by Findus, of course! I saw one in the freezer section of my local corner shop last night. If nothing else, it''s an original strategy.

How about free fish fingers with every Tuscan? It could have been worse - "The Pot Noodle Tuscan Challenge"!

Every TVR is a veritable 'fanny-magnet', so unless you're a total minger, you should have an unlimited supply of fishy fingers! Sorry!! Marcus & Ocean Haze Griff 500

This is not my fault. All I said was "Findus frozen meal" and suddenly they're talking sexual innuendo. Where is Mary Whitehouse when you need her? Well, in fact she's gone and died, which is just typical.

Although its a tenuous link, Findus sponsor the Tuscan challenge series at the Powertour events. Still a bit of a dodgy link though.
