The 'stigma' that is TVR...sorry guys
Discussion
I have posted on this site once or twice as i also have an E39, when i came across this.
Sad really that most of the opinions expressed come from those who haven't even sat in a TVR, least of all owned one.
My sisters mates brothers uncle had one...and they smelled of glue and broke down...apprently

Could be my pic that, except i have a 450 SEAC instead of the Griff..and obviously i don't live there.
Tbh, i don't to get involved in these 'debates' into dissing other cars particularly ones i haven't owned, but hey...something to read eh.
They all sound like a bunch of school kids. Most of them don't even seem to own a Beemeer other than those aging 5 series being broken.
They know there stuff about motoring history though;
Thank God for PH and its far more sensible levels of discussion. I know we get "trolled" occasionally, but generally its far better than that papp. Please do not encourage them over here.

the only things I know about Porsche (other than they're still expensive) is that Ferdinand Porsche designed it and the Bug and that they look pretty much the same....

I'm am member on that site as a source of information to fix my un-reliable BMW (no joke).
My old mans X5 isn't exactly what you would call trouble free, or my brothers E36 M3....

Scary to read this if you're a pork owner , ' new engine on 997 after 30k miles' , and I thought one day I might park one next to the 20 year old Tiv !My old mans X5 isn't exactly what you would call trouble free, or my brothers E36 M3....

Why do you lot constantly delude yourselves into thinking your cars are as good as a massed produced car with Billions of development costs behind them???
THEY ARE DIFFERENT
Someone on a BMW forum makes a few statements (most of which appear pretty true) and a TVR Massiv rant is hurled back. Then someone finds a porsche with a blown engine and decides that porsches are unreliable too, don't forget guys for 1 TVR there are approx 100 Porsches??
ALL CARS BREAK DOWN.
The reality is that TVR's also break down.
Some TVR's are owned by tits who don't maintain them but so are some Porsches.
Get a life guys!! just go out for a drive and enjoy the car you own, which ever badge is on the front.

Bimmers are great cars.
For floating to work - fun they ain't. Not like a Tiv anyway.
I had an E30, E39 and now an E46 330Ci - all by far the best cars of their kind. I recently had an Audi A4 which was easily the worst (prestige ) car I've owned - utter pants.
Never really got to grips with all these 'E' numbers. All i do know is that they are safer to eat with the 'E' in front For floating to work - fun they ain't. Not like a Tiv anyway.

It's just the ignorance that (mildly) irritates.
