Dog

[NZDave]

This little dog lives on the back of my S1 above the left tail light. Is he original or has someone put him on there. I also note in some of the photos there looks to have been an S on the back of the car. Was this painted on or was it a sticker?

[greyhulk]

someones just stuck it on, sometimes you'll see a V6/V8 badge but ive never seen the 'S' on the back, no reason why not tho.

I'd hazard a guess that your car was originally supplied by Giles Cooper of the TVR Centre, Arkley, Barnet. The 'Bulldog' was his Tuscan Challenge motif:

When I bought my car the keys were on one of those key-rings. I three it away because it was a bot dog-eared

OK, OK I never claimed to be a typist! Here you go...

Happy now?

Not wishing to be a bone-picker ... but, does the "it" refer to the car or the keys or the key-ring ??

Joe, what happened to your bot?

Sorry, I was still in character as the police man from 'Allo 'Allo! , so obviously my typing was up the crick without a piddle

Yes indeed the image on Dave's car appears to be based on a 'clip art download' file, my bad, sorry:
