Didn't see your post before I out mine! Shame that there wasn't even much he could do! One of the reasons I won't go near bikes, all good being a good driver but it's the other idiots on the road you gotta watch for!!

Shame about the car! Can't be many orange tuscans around! Love the coliur
I am the same with my TVR's I have always sorned mine at the end of September for this very reason. I have had a few friends who have ended up like this over the years in TVR's around this time of year frown . Not a nice thing but close 380-400bhp and just over 1 ton on greasy roads never fairs well, would rather drive them in the wet. Shame as tuscans are great cars, but more importantly the driver is in the mend.

The weird thing for me was that after passing the accident just after it happened it crossed my mind that it's been a long time since I saw a Tuscan on the road. Since then I've seen another two albeit in better circumstances, a silver one in deepest Ayrshire on Thursday and one today on the A83 as I was heading to Campbeltown and it looked to be on a TVR run with some others.

Spotted a very similar TVR driving past this same spot yesterday morning, hoping its the same car thats been successfully repaired, (or maybe just coincidence)

I also spotted this but over the other side of the water (houston) at the end of last week, early in the morning. I thought the same, either its been quickly repaired or it's another TVR, chances ??

If the driver has a mid life crisis Goatee then it will more than likely be the same guy!

Glad to say he's recovered and back at work.

He got another Tuscan around 6 weeks ago and it's darker orange / brown colour.

It's a bit of a stunner and probably better than the car that was in the crash.


Not been on here since I jumped ship over to the Z4 Forum for this that I got 5 weeks ago....

3 months searching and 1 month to sort out actually getting down to England for it!

2007 3.0 SI with 34,000 on the clock.
