Tamora on TV Tonight (Tuesday 6 November)

[Ed_P]

Driven, channel 4, 8.30 pm. Comparison of Tamora, Boxster S and M roadster.

Might be interesting ...

[preston1990]

Excellent!! Well Spotted Ed!!

[dan]

Except knowing Driven they will try to work out which one is the best cement mixer

[nubbin]

Got the video timer set already!

[mel]

Their likely to take them off road and then moan that the Tamora doesn't handle woodland tracks very well.

[PetrolTed]

I've heard that they're going to ask a ten farmers how many sheep will fit in the boot.

The only boots farmers put sheep in is the back legs down the front of their wellies.

[Preston1990]

Yeah - but only the good looking ones Neil!!

Just in time man!

Penny's face when Jason gave the Tamora some say's it all...

Just watched drivel for the first time. I feel unclean.

The Boxster has good driveability becoz it has big wing mirrors, apparently. The Tamora is not clever because it hasn't got ABS.

Never in all my life have I heard such complete arse. I'm amazed how little they had to say about any of the three cars they were comparing. What a bunch of numpties.

[nubbin]

What a bunch of twats! The raison d'etre of sports cars is apparently to drive over speed humps on the way to Scotland. That woman is a smug, simpering idiot who should never put her cushioned arse in any car above a Golf. As pathetic a test, and as irrelevant to sports cars, as I would expect from a programme as anally retentive as Drivel.

Where was the handling test? Who the hell were that bunch of "sports car enthusiasts"? Ah, well, more Tamoras for the rest of us....

[Finston]

Bollocks.

[PetrolTed]

The whole test was based on practicality, the first thing that is compromised when you buy a sports car. I don't want heavy electric motors powering my roof, I want lightweight and power.

Pah!

[fish]

Ever get the feeling they knew who had won before they did the tests, or am I just a sinic.

[woody]

Oh dear, drivel strikes again....what a load of crap - porshe have probably spent more money developing the hood for the boxster than TVR have on developing the Tamora..and yes the Z3 is a hairdresser's car - always has been and always will be, it doesn't matter what engine you put in it - still be crap!!!!!

Gaaah!! How can you do a sports car test without having steering, brakes, cornering, handling, ride, power, acceleration, etc.etc., even getting a mention? This was a saloon car test adapted for sports cars - emphasis on comfort and style above all else. Gaaah again!!

[ATG]

Did they mention the engines? Obviously not that important in a car...

A red Porsche and a silver BMW – who said the marketing people at these German companies aren't switched on, they're the colours that sell to your average 'sports car' owner, trading up from an MX5.
And limping in last is the 'crude, sickly yellow' TVR.
And then they get some Sarf London/Norf Kent girl in her hoop earrings to give some sort of meaningful explanantion.

Pathetic, the whole show.

TVR owner one day
