Drove all the way from Nottingham to Aberdeen on Monday...car went like a dream, not one niggle, even managed to average 46 MPG. One thing tho....never saw a single TIV, lots of other exoctics, even had a play on little play with a brand new AM Vantage (he pulled along side of me and Mouthed TVR and gave me big thumbs up). But not one TIV!!!

Not really a lie, but you forgot to put a decimal point between the 4 and 6.

I've done Aberdeen-Leeds twice in mine (Verb 4.5) without fuss or Drama - not to mention two 2000mile trips to Europe, again without fuss or drama.

The situation with the Vantage also happened to me and my dad when we were in the Chim. I think there's some mutual respect between TVR owners and owners of other British sports cars. Plus, every red blooded male loves a TVR!

Aston Martin drivers don't have thumbs. They don't need them since most models are auto or paddle shift.
