New TVR still under wraps!

[ChilliWhizz]

Just back from lunch, was gonna have hot dogs but settled for pooched eggs, which I wolfed down, although I prefer a good Cumberland sausage dog roll, I really think they're the mutts. Anyway, hope the new car doesn't turn out to be a mongrel, coz that'd be a right bh.... hopefully you guys con cur...

And.... that's it

[phazed]

Please, please, please, no more!

I'm getting as excited as a dog with two tails about the launch, and I've not even ordered one!
At least we've managed to move away from the Rover engine!

19th @12.... Looking forward to spending the kids inherentence, so much so I've taking one with me to see where it's going..... Unless it's silly prices in which case not.....

[tvrolet]

The only day I could have made was the 25th...and I got the 25th

Flights booked for me and the missus, and pitching up in a rental Corsa from the airport.

It would have been great to be there on the first 'reveal' day, as I'm sure the hints/descriptions will be rife after that and will kind of spoil the surprise...but it had to be the 25th, so happy I got the slot I wanted.

Spending the kids inheritance just because we're not getting old or senile as quickly as earlier generations did is just wrong... kids have a right to your money, and you really should consign yourself to a home as soon as possible so they can buy a proper motor and use it to visit you (in your home of choice) once a month... or 3 or 4 times a year... last year my parents did one of these remortgage things that allows them to take equity out of there estate, to give them some cash to spend on things they like and get greater enjoyment out of their twilight years.. clearly this is just wrong and selfish... My Dad asked me what I thought of his newly purchased Honda CRV or whatever its called, and which he loves... I told him it was crap, he didn't need a new car, and I it was very unthougtfull to be spending my inheritance on crap he didn't need.

Anyway, rant over... older people and their need to hang on to their money really pisses me off... I mean how can you enjoy anything at all in life once you've hit 60... bloody preposterous... selfish old basterds...

Not that old, mid 50's, but recent family events tell me what's the point in being rich in your old age when you and those around you may not be around to enjoy it. Besides the car is an investment

What a load of bull. Given current life expectancy you will be nearing retirement before both parents die. I am just 10 years away from retirement and my mother is still going strong.

I have had to earn every penny I have. My mother has some investments but we are happy if she spends it herself to enjoy her few remaining years. Why on earth do you think they have a right? I do intend to leave a reasonable amount to my children, but they should not expect to receive much, it makes for a lazy and selfish attitude because 'Mum and Dad will leave us enough money that we do not have to worry about a proper career'.
