Driving a TVR!!!! :D:D:D

TVR Tamora Red Rose, to be precise. Mmmmmmmmmmmm lovely, but scary at the same time. Very twitchy, especially on a trailing throttle or under braking. Clutch and throttle very soft, brakes like pressing on a block of wood with your foot - although a little feel developed as they warmed up.

Belongs to the same nice man who let me drive his M3 a while back - thanks Michael!

Great fun though - except it started raining so we came back rather gently (wuss). :P Fuzzy phone pic attached.

Looks like fun Nick

You forgot to mention how it sounds!

My favourite cars for following through tunnels, TVR's

There I was thinking you'd beaten me in the dealer tyre kicking stakes

You forgot to mention how it sounds!

It growls, roars, spits, crackles, burbles and pops

TVR's are fab...even better backwards at 120 mph.

Jammy sod Nick, and here was me waiting to grab you on MSN

I officially hate you.

*harrumphs off into a corner to sulk*

Walkie will have a fit when he sees this.And how come my friends have mondeos:(

Friend of mine has a Tuscan 2 in metalic pink with cream leather interior

:eek: That is stunning!!! :drool: :drool:

I fear it may be a little out of my price range though

I now understand why you said something on MSN

Was it "hahahahahahhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa....."

Know what you mean, I was stuck next to a Tusan on the motorway the other day. Put the window down and listened to the burble of the exhausts :drool: ... much better than what was on Radio 1

Did anyone else notice the TVR which went popping and banging past all our parked cars at Weston? I'm not sure whether the driver was smiling or sneering

Reminds me of the time (a good few years ago) when I was parked next to a Shelby Cobra. The driver returned to his car, started the engine (VROOM! GROWL!), and my dad said "that's awful - it sounds like an old Ford"

I think there are some who can testify now to the fact that a 928 sounds rather splendid "under load" as well

tamora+ blueflame cans = v nice sound....

Tsk! I can't be doing with this :bike:

Have you said, Nick, how come (on Briskoda rather than MSN) ? Test driving for a review, buying it for a couple of fivers? Had to get to the sandwich shop before they closed?

Just wondering, not like I'm bovvered, you understand *growls louder than exhuast*

It belongs to my colleague, Michael - you can see him sat in the car in the pic. He's a nice man, he lets me drive his cars - he's had a go in the 928 too

My colleagues don't let me anywhere near their cars, well except to drape myself on the bonnet Saaaah! :hilarius: Must learn to brandish Autoglym like a six-shooter...
