Someone has decided that the best way to get a TVR is to take another one bit by bit, and to start with they've taken the offside tyre valve caps off my Tuscan.

So if you see anyone offering a pair of nearly new caps please let me know so I can get them back or I'll have to try and source a new pair. Although I don't think these will be easy to come by, as who would want to get new ones?

Thats fecking sad. I saw a fellow tiv at Goodwood on Sunday with 2 or 3 wheel badges missing. Takes the p155.

Ironically someone has also nabbed the wheel bagdes from my fathers Primera. How low will some people stoop.

My next door neighbour bought a camcorder a few Christmases back and was trying it out of their front window. Happened to catch my other neighbour's 12 year old stealing the caps off my 323CI, which was then 3 weeks old.

Just saving the evidence for the day I end up having a disagreement with the scrote's dullard mother...

If it's any help, you can buy a set of Leven TVR valve dust caps for £12 from the TVRCC. Dunno if these are appropriate for a Tuscan. Picked up a set at Goodwood last weekend. I'll just see how long they last.............

I'm the kind who would rather do without, just so the bastards have nothing to steal. Hence the valve caps, and the quick-release radio aerial that came with my 390 are in the garage somewhere..... ;-)
