As much as TopGear take the piss out of TVR's they do frequently use them for articles. Also kept the one in the titles at beginning of the program.

Thats what really annoys me about them.

Two-faced clowns.

You shouldn't take things personally. They take the piss out of everything and everyone, including each other. They say things just to cause controversy. They often contradict themselves. Good comedy will always poke fun at someone or other, it's just a laugh. It's essential Sunday night viewing!

[Chimjunkie]

Agree, essential viewing! It's not as if TVR dont deserve some of the negative comments. But I've never noticed the car smelling of fibreglass

Well Jon, you've either never had to nurse your car home for a good few miles with a serious misfire, or there's something wrong with your nose!

[Stevie Mojo]

Me neither, mine smells of leather.

Just had mine repaired and BEJAYSUS, it stinks. Not gonna go away for a while. Looks like pot-pourri in the flap of the centre console again.

Just me then

[Mr MoJo]

Mine has a distinct smell of fibreglass if its been left standing for a while, especially if you then turn the heaters on. Also smells of high octane fuel and leather I wouldn't have it any other way.

But, they just aren't funny anymore. Same ole re-hashed 'jokes' that are predictable. [Not picking a fight here]. Also, where do they get the audiences from? Are they the left overs from late eighties 'Top of the Pops'? Who seem to whoop and get excited for fk all. Top Gear just isn't interesting anymore.

Its all entertainment so as long as the audience is happy. So they'll say anything for a laugh.

When they enjoyed taking the TVR's out they were really nice then they got bored and slated them...

Its entertainment value i'm afraid.

Anyway... I don't smell fibreglass either.

Properly set up, no problem. Could do it all day long in mine.
