autocar question of the day
Discussion
Todays question of the day on autocar site and their answer:
02/08/02 Buying British
I'm in the market for a second-hand British supercar and my shortlist is an Esprit GT3 or a Cerbera Speed Six. Slightly concerned that at just over six feet tall I won't fit into the Lotus. What should I know about the TVR – is the straight six reliable? Have they fixed the electrical gremlins that seem to haunt most TVRs? Any advice would be gratefully received.

"Go for the Esprit. No, go for the TVR. Actually no, on second thoughts, forget them both, forget the patriotism and buy yourself a decent sports car that won't go wrong – like a Porsche 911."
some people just miss the point of "sports car"....

I know what you mean.
Me: anyone suggest a good hard top sports car.
Guy at work: MR2?
Me: no I said a sports car
oi! nothing per-se wrong with the MR2 - it's definately a sportscar. definately not a supercar (as some owners seem to think!), and not the best drivers car around, but for the money little comes close. Having lived with one for 3 years now they cut it as an all-rounder perfectly... don't knock 'em till you've lived with 'em...
tsk!
