Am I the only ex-TVR owner here....

[kmpowell]

.... who is reading all these nostalgic threads, looking at all the pictures, watching all the vids... and thinking that they REALLY REALLY REALLY want to own one again?!?

I know it's stupid, I know it would probably be the worst financial decision I ever made, and I know I would just be walking into hassle and trouble again, BUT I just can't stop thinking about the noise and the thrill I got when I turned the key!

Somebody please talk some sense into me before I do something VERY silly and flog the R32 for a Tuscan, Sagaris, or another T350!!!!!

Regrets, I've had a few ............ the main one - selling the Chimaera! Now actively looking for another ! GO ON, YOU KNOW YOU WILL EVENTUALLY.

[S1X OK]

What's the worst that could happen?

[RayVonn]

If you are thinking about buying, then it really is a buyers market at the mo. Might not be for much longer though, if TVR sorts itelf out.

I'm getting one, as soon as i get back to the UK and nothing will stop me. Its something i always regret doing, getting rid of the Griff, so i might go modern and go for the T350 or may just go back to the Griff and get one of the last ones.

What the heck is an R32 .. sound kind of Airfix model or sommat.

[Ace-T]

A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master, T350

Buy a Tuscan, throw the engine away and fit a Chevy V8. Then you'll have the car that TVR *should* have built, never did, and paid the price.

I think that sentence says it all. Don't worry km, it'll only be a matter of time before you come to your senses and pootle down to your nearest TVR dealer. Lifes too short. Don't deprive youself of some pleasure.

Saturday morning and I have nothing to do. I switch on my laptop, check my e-mail, bit of a surf around the internet aimlesly. Get bored, so go into the directory where the pics of my old T350 are, I love love love the rear 3/4 shot of her i've put below, sooooo gorgeous!!!



Start to wish even more that I still had her, so the inevitable happens..... Give myself a 'what if' budget, Pick up Top Marques, look at Autotrader, then look at PH clas's. Decide on possible colour combinations I would buy..... then I stumble across this menacing looking Saggy which looks awesome and devilish IMO:



Start drooling, scramble to get phone, ring up garage, bit of a chat, sounds like it could be the one for me. Check bank balance and confirm to myself it would be financial suicide!
