Call me a spoilsport, but apart from everyone deciding they're going to buy a Marcos, Jag, Noble etc., where have all the serious bitchin' threads gone

Or...is it just a response to absolutely NO news from TVR about, plans, models, sales, and PR apart from that lousy slogan.

I've heard some fairly worrying s*** about a bust up between Moleskins and PW - anyone got anything positive to post?

Saw Smolenski and Peter Wheeler together at Brands Hatch the other weekend and there was nothing in the body language that indicated a bust up. In fact Peter was on very good form.

Why would it be worrying if they have had a bust up? NS is the man now and calls the shots. PW can also persue his other interests with a healthy wedge in his back pocket

I've heard various snippets, but nothing that I've been able to confirm yet. Guess we'll just have to be patient.

Was interesting looking at the T350 parked at Brands last week. It's the one being sent to Australia apparently. Fully lined engine bay to keep heat out of the cabin apparently. Didn't quite understand that as the engine bay must become like a boilerhouse...?

Moleskins was at Brands? B****R!

If I'd known that, there WOULD have been gaffa tape across the front of the Cerbera with the stupid slogan on it.

Rats.

Definitely happened, probably after Brands. Yes Moleskins is in charge and PW has a few(!) beer vouchers to enjoy, but this gossip matters as the new regime proudly promoted him as a 'Design Consultant', which you might think you be longer than for a month or two!

PS to theblacktusks - what did you expect sales & service to say!

Pass that by me again - as a doctor you understand!

Or - Has PW or someone else just bought TVR back?

More about making the point

Wouldn't have liked to have damaged the car, just the damn slogan.
