it does drive Realy well....... so much fun... so quick, dsc off, ride the wave and this thing litterally fires off down the road....... its been a labour of love and cost a small fortune, i dont really know what it'll take for me to better it after...... probably in a car costing twice as much.....

its my german TVR :-)

vmax day needed now, and some track fun to enjoy the vehicle to the max....... this year i need to top last ears 7 trackdays!! lol!!

Serious set up there. Surely the law of diminishing returns is kicking in with your car though now. It's been done so well that there isnt much more you can realistically improve is there?

honestly..... i dont know what i would have to spend on a new car to get comparable or better performance.

im guessing 80k plus maybe more.............

The car is a recreation of my idea of "perfection"

power, performance, comfort, useability and sheer FUN!!

clap Greatest thing is actually it really hasnt cost half that!!! everything has been brough on group buys, sourced from the states or even used.... for example.. the APs cost 3.5k new i got them for just over 2k with 500 miles use!! just bed in for me ;-)

every single item is purchased at a discount usually ;-)
