How about this.....

After a major off at Oulton Park my car was repaired for the princely sum of £12000 (yes it should of been written off) at a TVR appointed dealer. This included nearside wishbones at the front end and a new nose.

It handled beautifully before the accident although I was looking at Nitrons as you do. Got it back after 10 months (July this year) and it handled attrociously. So as work was hectic I've only just got around to getting a very good independent to give it a service and Nitrons.

The report:

The worse handling car they have ever seen with 1 degree of possitive camber at the front end. Hence the floaty front end. Someone has removed the green stuff rear pads (which I fitted) and cut some others to fit. Add these to the fact that they have ripped out carpet to get at the battery.

Annoyed? Me? Damn right! Stern letter will follow.....

10 months?!!!!

And as for all the other stuff. Stolen brake pads, bodged replacements. I'd love to know who did the work. PM perhaps?
