I just love the product description!

It is described as a compact 7 function Multi Tool here are some of the benefits of owning this remarkable tool

1) It has a Super LED torch presumably for trying to search for the reason your £40K car has suddenly stopped working.
2) A Philips screwdriver for apparently screwing Philips with.
3) A flat head screwdriver for scratching BROKEN DOWN into your paint work.
4) A bottle opener so you can open a few up while waiting for the AA.
5) A knife for threatening the AA man when he laughs at your predicament.
6) Spring loaded pliers for pulling your teeth out to remind yourself that next time you want to blow £40K on a car you will choose one that works.
7) A mini saw for doing a Lord Brocket. A must for all TVR owners

Yeah, unfortunately the boys in blue found my pre-A3 antics a little too intriguing, hence I had to lose the 993. Still, it's almost as fun to roll down the window and wave at broken down TVR's as I sail past chugging like a black cab....

obviously alot of money in delivering pasties if you had a Porker!

mind you, he could OWN Ginsters and just likes the company van.

Grow up...we have no sense of humour, when it comes to people without TVR experience...





...or experience!

Careful Stevie M, you don't know what you might be getting yourself into here, though the second part of his PH handle might give you an idea.

You might find yourself waking up in bed with the head of a pasty next to you and your sheets covered in onion gravy !

How sad...............sounds like a man with many personal issues if he assumes all people are like minded.

I wasnt trying to impress I assumed (wrongly as it happens) the previous message was directed at me.

On the other hand....what car do you drive then please dont tell me its a Trevor

Nah, I was talking to the bloke with the faceless oil burner. Actually, your Porker is a nice motor. Still can't understand why you all wanna come on here just to slag off our cars though. We should have a drag race day, TVR against all other production cars. I think that would get rid of a few P*ss-takers and maybe even gain some respect from English people for a fast, beautiful and unique English sportscar.

Aww c'mon guys, I posted the actual product description from that eBay ad cos it was funny!

Fact is, yes I drive an oil burning lump of pig iron (and the £95 Naples and back Transit!), but if it wasn't for the high mileage I do and associated running costs then hell yeah I'd be behind the wheel of a Cerbie! For now the 1:18 scale purple Speed 12 in pride of place on my bathroom windowsill will have to do...

And as for waking up in yer bed covered in onions and gravy, I'm still wiping this morning's coffee from the screen of my laptop...

Peace

***********************************************************************

I didnt mean to slag the TVR marque off at all. I love them.

In fact every spring I take a pilgrimage to the TVR centre in Arkley near Barnet to drool over the cars. My wife keeps trying to get me to buy a Chimaera although i`d love a Griff 500 or Cerbera.

The porker is what I can afford.

Last track day I did at Silverstone there was an awesome Cerbera that stayed out all afternoon. My porker dumped all its water and lost its brakes

i posted it cos it was a tongue in cheek `poke` at Trevors and not meant to p*ss take whatsoever. I thought you`d all take it in good humour for what it was.

Ho hum, back to the Porsche Club forum..................

Thats it boys, shake hands now and big kisses around.


If everyone like the same cars then everything would be boring.

I think the description is funny, although some speed 6 owners probably wont smile for as long as the RV8 owners

Would love to see the auction description for a 'Jeremy Clarkson's GT40 tool'
