I thought the ACE cafe holds about 100 cars?


I think thats optomistic? look at it, and the surounding area, on Google Earth.



was only guessing. having only been there twice (in the dark) I fear I may not have had all the tools available to me to make an accurate guess

What sort of attitude is that to non TVR owners offering to show support?

Posts like that make me wonder whether I should actually give a shit.

Peter Wheeler:-
Gruff tab smoking businessman, kept TVR going far longer than necessary, to the delight of a handful of masochistic unreliability enthusiasts and no one else. Then somehow managed to flog the whole shebang to a Russian urchin, allowing the saga to grind on long after most people stopped caring.

Maybe they're right?

You need to chill out mate.

Some of us are just cars fans and made a general choice when choosing what we drive. I considered a TVR on many occasions, and may still buy one, but frankly I had £30k to buy a car and not another £10k and every weekend to spend fixing it! Maybe when I have more money I will visit the TVR thing again?

Tell me? Is a Lambo driver a idiot cause its not a TVR? What about a Mclarren SLR? We went down to support TVR and it didn’t matter to us what we were in.

We went a different way to the convoy, kept out of any groups, didn’t take up valuable parking spaces, I even left my car in the middle of the M1 traffic to push a TVR that had broke down. What’s your problem?

Being a "car fan" I thinks it’s unfair you using this forum to abuse "Non TVR" owners. They are great cars, I just don’t own one


Too 'kin right, yes the objective of the day was to get as many TVR's in London supporting the factory workers etc, but hell, we need support from every petrol head regardless of what they drive, from the guys hanging banners on bridges as we drove under (although one lot did look like the fuzz from a distance). I don't for one minute think that "everyone else" was out to dilute the day, a great thank to everyone who turned out, owners and supporters.

When the likes of BG start to wonder whether they can give a turd about a British manufacturer or not, then there is something massively wrong.

Anyway surely it was also a chance to do some missionary work and convert the heathens to TVR ownership!

Iain

I'd have been there if I could have made it. Sounded like a very special event.

Hi Dan,

Good to hear your dad's getting better. Send him my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Any thoughts on a replacement yet?(Tiv, not dad!)
