"No i don't mean the nissian micra

A thread about cars which are undeniably crap under all forms of measurement but for some strange reason they're loved by true petrolheads"

Actually, I think they may have a point Mr Mojo

[Mr MoJo]

Possibly !!

Wouldn't be so bad if it was first hand experience but most of the comments are always from people who 'heard about this bloke who had one down the pub'

I Have never really fathomed whether it was us TVR owners are strange and all others are normal or the other way round . I like to think that every one else is abnormal . But it could be either way round. We all love em and 1 and couldn't care less what anyone else thinks, more fool them !!


'They know not what they say'. a quote from somewhere or other

Don't worry about it, anyone who has not driven one will never understand!!

Hum - don't think they are undeniably crap to be honest. Ok small car manufacturer might have some build quality issues, but crap? Nah not a word that goes with TVR ownership.

No mate, Tim drove very sensible IMO, it goes to show by co-piloting "nippy" cars, they know what not to waste fuel on It couldn`t keep up with the TF which i guess he wasn`t chuffed about considering the power advantage of the Bemmer.....power to weight again

Exactly.

The very fact that I drive an unorthodox vehicle should tell any critical onlooker who momentarily strays from the flock, exactly how much I value their opinion.

Basically, I don't give a flying fk.

To be fair, the thread is a reasonable question. TVRs can be a bit crap from the point of view of reliability, cost of ownership, etc. But the rewards you are given as an owner/driver outweigh pretty much any 'crapness', hence the petrolhead love

There are limits though, and ours was when the Tuscan engine went. Still, we got the Chim back.

Try owning an Alfa, Mini and Ferrari as well as a TVR though. If it isn't one person sgging off your car it's another one, but do I give a hoot? Nope, cos I think they are all FAB!

He did say something about that, but I reminded him of the xmas run where we went out in the misses TF the othr year and it keep up with most of the TVR's at sensible speeds. He also said the back end was a little light and didn't want to push it, as you say years of co-piloting obviously pays off .

I realise that but still seem to pop in there from time to time, and this thread just warmed my wee slightly !! Seems that no matter what Tiv owners will stick up for their cars

Exactly II. What are people afraid of, that the nay sayers might sneak around and give you a perm whilst you are not looking......

They can give me some blinkin hair first.

Aye, I was thinking the last time I was hooning in the beacons how much the top down, V8 on steroids and howling like a mad thing on mad pills, probably over 115dB, no driving aids, rear heel drive, scaring the locals, effortfully passing shed draggers and sunday drivers in a thrice.... I was thinking how much I hankered after something a little less ostentatious. Z3 maybe?
