... you have a TVR speedo made into a clock on your desk, a framed print of a Tuscan going sideways in reception at work, one of the tyres from the 2004 Le Mans car next to the backend of a Griffith made into a sofa in the spare room!

Anyone else want to come out of the closet as a bit of a TvrRAIN SPOTTER.

when my wife says that on the whole she'd prefer it if I had another woman rather than the yellow peril ..... but then she said something similar about the lotus 7, and enjoyed riding in that toooo

You dont buy a car for 11 months even though the money is sat there because you *REALLY* want a Cerb even though its almost impossible to justify...

I pat mine on the roof after a long journey and thank it for getting me there and back without breaking down

You come home from holiday to find "TVR, The Spirit of Driving" and "Griffith 500" painted on the garage floor by your youngest son !!

He takes his friends out just to hear the engine noise.

You spend money on a dehumidifier for the garage, but not for the house!

You clean the car inside and end up falling asleep (to be found by your wife 20 minutes later !!).

you go out for a newspaper and come back with a Griff, then you record, via a laptop the engine sound of your car and bore anyone daft enough to listen to it with stories of vanquished 'rep-cars', THEN a couple of months later you go out for a Sunday drive and come back with a Cerbera, THEN you go to TVRCC trackdays to photograph as many other TVR's as you can, and THEN you make your office a shrine to TVR stuff. But I'm not sick really.....

You talk about it, you talk to it, you give it a name, you go on the web and order the cap, the t-shirt, you log onto Piston Heads every day to see what the others are doing/saying, you add your two-pennies worth at every opportunity, you can't understand why those men in white coats turn up one day to take you away!
