Not a funny topic, I've just bought a TVR and wondered what to do now? I mean more in the community sense, where to join, what sites are worth looking at? I'm based in the North East, used to love been a part of the Lotus / NYLOC community and I guess this is an underlying reason I went for a non-mainstream car too, as much as I like the cars I own I like the communities that come with them!

So... any advice?

The North East TVRCC is very active and a jolly friendly bunch (I have to say that... smile) and meet every second Sunday of the month at the Wheatshief / Premier Inn near the Airport from 12 noon. If you pm me i'll be happy to give you an update of the kind of events that we run. Join the TVRCC as suggested or if you wish, just come along and see what we do before deciding.

Cheers

Paul

Same as Tamoras, but they don't need a hat or sunglasses.

Seriously? I've no idea why we get these type of bullst posts, only this time these are from owners.
Sad really.


Yeah, what do TVR owners know about running TVRs eh?

OP, getting breakdown recovery is decent advice and worth listening to I'd say. Even the most reliable car can let you down and for the price of a tank of petrol or two you've got peace of mind.

And definitely get out in it and make the most of this weather smile
