I don`t know about you guys, but as a TVR Engineer and test-pilot, I must ask the question What time does eveyone retire for bed ? 6 days a week I am strapped in a Cerbera 4.5 or a Griff 500. Maybe I am lucky, but since I started at the company...everyday since has had its unforgetable moments. If on a rare day I have not sampled "the spirit of Driving", I get to come home and sample my 324Bhp beast. What I am trying to say is... Drive the Bug*er and lets hear about it !!! If you go to bed at 8pm, then maybe a MGF is more your style.

Are TVR's soon to be stamped "Made in China", like other shoddy goods made in this totalitarian state and assembled by 11 year olds working 18 hour shifts.

I take it you have never been to China Then ? I think you are confusing it with the Philipines.

You are correct to point that I have never been to China, however I do watch the news and read newspapers. A report in the Times proved that child labour and forced labour is still used in mainland China. I never buy anything that has had "made in China". Its not that long ago that their government mowed down their own people with tanks.

Andrew, you have not read all my replies, if you read all of them, especially servicing and I probably know more about servicing Cerby's than you, you will find I have said some constructive points

Hey, nobody's spoiling for a fight. I'm sure James knows loads more than me about servicing Cerbies. Can't say that actually bothers me that much, should it?
