TVR at Ebbw Vale

[steve j]

TVR have recently announced that they are setting up in Ebbw Vale, very close to the proposed circuit of Wales. So it seems like a good location for them, there are some great driving roads in the Brecons and mid Wales. This is great news for the area, but only 150 jobs have been announced so far, maybe one for me.

If we leave the EU and the enterprise subsidy goes, you'll be back to the sheep

Me too, sounds like a cunning plan.

Steve, this is the "S" forum - You should take the S to the interview

Steve,
Would you like to borrow my pink onesie to wear for the interview to create the right impression?

Yes, that would be great, still got electrical gremlins, needs a swirl pot and otter switch. Trying to find the time to finish it at the moment.

Pink shocking knowing the weather here, I think a souwester and wellies would be in order, roof off of course.

This is gonna be good to watch

Ebbw Vale! as if we didnt have enough trouble with leaks
That seems just as far away from mainstream England as Blackpool was, shame to have lost that link with heritage.
I suppose they will just have to name them after dragons now, just hope the first one isnt called 'puff'.

Richard, the first new TVR has already been named after Puff's homeland of Honn-a-LE.

And the upgraded spec ones will not be Red Rose, they will be Green LEek.

STOP PRESS - inspired by its new location, TVR announces its new colour range

No need for a water leak test unit at the new plant. Just wheel the car outside for a few minutes

Trying to find the time is now very difficult, mrs J is very poorly so most of my time is taken up by work and being a house husband and carer. I`m not even planning for any trips or events this year
