They're just a bit too old skool (kinda 1960's MG alike) for me I'm afraid. Probably would appeal to me more if I actually saw them rather than a photo of them.

They are a love em or hate em kind of a wheel.
I love them, but the cleaning puts me off.......mine would always look filthy.
Which defeats the object.

...are your SAG vents working fine...

Yup, more or less working fine now. Only one issue which is being fixed now, plus getting ECU update done.

I think Paul Arnolds are working ok after a visit back to S&D for adjustment.

I had a good chat with Paul about this at the AGM. I'll not comment on it though.

Mark/Alex,

Vents adjusted and working fine, just a minor tweak required
I've got to fit the new dash ecu chip tomorrow night as I've had the temperature at which they open/close changed.
Also got a new controller to fit which allows more control of the vents.
Car washed/clayed/polished and waxed ready for it's first show this weekend and then Burghley

Took me over 4 hours to cover 112 miles last Friday

Why does everyone want to live in the South East?

Know what you mean. I get the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight passing low over my house regularly. Seems they like flying up the east Coast mainline or the A1, and turning off at the A46 to head up to Lincoln and home. Some days I could swear they are low enough to read the road signs.....

The sight of them is one thing, the sound of those Merlin engines has me close to tears. Soppy old fart that I am...

Never had the privilege to drive a TVR however one of my fathers old friends used to be a mechanic for TVR and would say they are unreliable! Is this true, if so what problems do they usually face? Verry nice cars though - fast and attractive

Totally reliable. That was a myth put about by one J.Clarkson Esq.

Come on be serious if you mean as reliable as your average Euro box then yes but compared to something built in the land of the rising sun then no.
