I thought that replies were getting a bit slow on the uptake lately, but has it got that bad that the most posts are from a 14 year old trying to use the forum like a chat room?

come on all, where's the real news gone?

What's wrong with that anyhow? The fourteen year old TVR fan of today, might be the TVR owning fan of the future....Oh, and if you want some news, I blew a Chimaera into the weeds this afternoon on the road between Settle and Gisburn in my Tiger Supersix..........

Tuned two litre Ford Pinto with twin 40 webbers, only putting out around 150bhp at the moment, but next year plan to transplant to a Stage 3 Zetec giving around 190bhp, but really because car is so light I am quite contented. It's just a nice car for throwing round the bends on "b" roads but useless on the motorway

The cars are made in Wisbech and can be bought factory built or in kit form, and a typical self build price is around £8000 for a nice example.

A fwd twin engined Tiger, fitted with two Kawasaki bike engines holds the world production 0-60 time of 2.8 secs, but would set you back almost 40k.

St George,
I am a little fed up with the crap that is being posted! About time Ted sorted the men from the boys!! as you say this is not a chat room, but a Speedsix forum.

Sorry I didn't reply ealier St George, I was out driving at the weekend

As for news - sorry, my car hasn't broken down, fallen to bits or amything else that could go wrong so nothing interesting to say for the vultures. Just had it serviced - nothing out of the ordinary. Changed my throttle cable as the old one was on the way out - picture on ToG if you're interested.

Rivetting stuff eh ?

Cheers,

Andy.

It has become more bulletin bored than board.

The most exciting times on this forum are when people get into heated debates over issues.

Unfortunately there seems to be a hardcore of TVR sycophants who refuse to accept anything could ever be wrong with their Blackpool babies or that Messrs Wheeler et al should take any responsibility for anything.

These individuals then proceed to bully anyone who has had a nightmare with their car into submission (or off this board).

As a result debate dissappears and mutual Blackpool buttock kissing ensues which is not of much interest to anyone in the long run.

I can see from your profile you are keeping to your mission.

What are you driving now - any better experience ?

Cheers,

Well there's not really that much more to say is there?

I have to admit I get a bit down if there's nothing new or exciting being said but then it's not a new car anymore.

Lot's of excitement on the T350 board and no doubt the T440 when it is released etc...

If you want to make it your mission to slag of TVRs by the way, go to London (speakers corner).

The Yahoo link appears to be broken in some way, Is there a web site for this beast ?

Thanks
