Cool

Marcus...

It's beautiful!!! I'm envious!!!

Grand to see that there are still a few small companies like TVR and Morgan who are turning out quirky, kick-*** little sports cars!!!

You made my Day!!! <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" />

Stay Well,

Jim 1987 944S (cause I couldn't afford another 3 litre Healey!) <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />

That is an awesome car. Too bad it's got the steering wheel on the wrong side. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Slinky, it's definitely a muscle car, but not quite a "phallic statement" car. Leave that to the souped up 'Vettes and Camaros...

Does that mean it's P-Car envy!? But Slinky does have a point - it does look phallic a bit. But then I called my '95 'Vette the "Penismobile". Oh...oh, my...that's why it misbehaved, I broke the rules of naming a car with a girl's name, so it always had a vacuum problem; so, does that mean it "sucked"!?

You don't have to leave, unless you want too, you know.

I fly in to Leeds-Bradford airport on the 16th.

No need to panic though, I have meetings up the wazoo.

Cool car! It would be fun to have one of those in the States. I've never seen one before.

dumb question: Where are the door handles? Are there none?

Blimey!! What did you do win the lottery or what!!
I've been toying with the idea of buying one of these myself but some of the horror stories about reliability have put me off a bit. Still very temted though!!
A great forum for TVR's is the gassing station:-

<a href="http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/default.asp?h=0" target="_blank">http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/default.asp?h=0</a>

Probably see you over there.

Andy - I have been on Pistonheads for a while (user name Basil Brush) and am going along to Pistonfest. Maybe see you there? Don't worry about the reliability issues, just enjoy it whilst it's going.
