True but VBH isn't exactly renowned for top driving

Yay yay yay - been waiting for that episode for too long.

OH What a surprise, the wipers button fell off of the Tuscan 2!

:BIGLAUGH:

I've entered the Chim competition 5 times, not that I needed to, the question was MUCH too hard I must be the only person that's got it right!!

Both cars looked awesome, and definitely not lacking in the raucousness and grunt that truly befits a TVR.

But why did the reviewer have to comment that the reliability would mean it couldn't be used as anything but a weekend/second car just because a couple of things in the cockpit dropped off. If they're going to talk to us about reliability then I'd be more concerned about what was going on under the bonnet than whether or not the carpet is properly glued under the glovebox.

Whilst I sympathise that they were simply trying to offer some balance in the review and have little information that they could provide on the long term servicing and reliablity issues, I still think they gave an unnecessarily negative position on using either of the cars as a daily driver.

I'm afraid not, I entered three times because I wasn't sure.

I prefer the Tuscan, just a prettier car IMHO

and did you hear VBH's squeals of delight... mind you, she does that in any car that she can get sideways...

As for the husband comment, I reckon shes already hooked up, but plays the single card to try an appeal to the 'male followers'..

Nope, she's lovely! Any girl getting that excited about a TVR gets my vote!

Forget the airbags, more hot air from them both, who wants a weekend car only.

They both need to get real and remember both these cars have been driven by reporters for weeks so its not really much of a surpise to have some loose trim.

VBH having a knob fall of in her hands, well that is interesting, a bit to hard with the twisting action or was that just the back end sliding out!!

Good to see a good old V8 in there.

Lift and separate springs to mind.
Don't half find that little squeal she did in the Tuscan annoying but I bet its not only on the track that she emits that sound.

Still, all the same, i'd pay to come back as seat belt in her car
