Another dig at TVR owners, but as a TVR owner with a sense of humour I found it very funny.

quote:

TVR OWNER BECOMING MORE LIKE CAR

A TVR owner is becoming increasingly and distressing like his car, according to friends and colleagues. Robin Panthamster, a Bedford-based IT consultant, took delivery of a new Tamora in April and began to assimilate the characteristics of his new sportscar soon afterwards. 'Robin used to be the sort of bloke you could depend on to turn up on time, remember appointments and so on,' claims best friend Mark Blarse. 'Ever since he got that TVR he's become extremely unreliable.' Panthamster's workmates report a similar story; 'When he first bought the car we were all impressed with the sudden massive increase in Mark's performance,' notes fellow wretched software monkey Paul Twatt. 'But it's so inconsistent. Sometimes he'll just stop working for no apparent reason, and last week, for example, he was working fine for a bit, but he soon began to work intermittently, then he packed up altogether and his head fell off. When he finally started working again we thought everything was okay, then he just inexplicably burst into flames.'
'This is slightly interesting,' commented Dr Andther Medics of University Challenge, Lichfield. 'By some sort of osmosis this man has become like his car. I hope this will serve as a warning to other people about the dangers of getting a penis extension.'

Brilliant stuff!!



Could explain why my feet keep leaving the floor when I've taken too much fuel on board, sometimes - I need traction control for heavy drinking sessions 'cos I'm not skilled enough in delivering the immense power to my feet!!!!

Doesn't mention anything about sitting in front of a PC and reading PH though... nor anything about pie!

They haven't got you fully sussed - yet!

Are there other sites as good as this and in the same style? I only know of www.tvgohome.com but there must be more...

The tvgohome used to be brilliant, but I get the impression that the author's heart isn't in it any more. Probably devoting his time to projects that actually make money, unfortunately. Like promoting the book, for example.

Tailslide, the back page of EVO magazine, is written by the same bloke and is in a similar vein.

Ok new it's admission time.

Anyone see a poorly red cr-x at Duxford TVR club meet, stranded in the enrtance, sitting a puddle of her own juice after a world record attempt run up from the roundabout?

If you did, yes you've guessed it was me.

Seems you don't need a TreVoR to experience the delights of sporadically (bugger, I really can't spell!) reliable motoring. Guess she's just preparing me for my destiny.

They can't be that bad, or you guy would buy something else with your hard earned....wouldn't you?
