TVR - What do we want to see in the next 12 months
Discussion
Hope you don't mind the temerity of a relative newby posting this,but mindfull of two things
1) That TVR and their dealers read Pistonheads and.......
2)All the good things that have happened this year -extended testing,Th sagaris,the warranty ,the extended warranty the news about the new factory and last but by no means least the news about the Speed Six reported by SXS on here www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=237106&f=152&h=0
What would we like to see happen at TVR over the next 12 months?

How do we know TVR read Pistonheads when they don't post? 
The only thing I would change is the ICE. All TVRs should come with satnav as standard with a sound system that actually sounds good. Apart from that I'm very happy with my current (and past) TVRs.

.A V8, please? 
I hate slagging off TVR but...
The speed 6 doesnt sound 'crap full stop' but compared to a V8 it's certainly not about to win any awards in the sound department.
I not a member of the catalyzed brigade either, and cant help but wonder how one would fit track day silencers onto a saggy without turning it into boadicea's chariot, but I digress...
I want a saggy with an AJP V8. Or any V8, and if I cant have one Im going to throw my toys out my pram, sulk and then wait for a V8. Or try out a marcos, or a viper. More likely I'll stick with the Cerbera, because I love TVR, but I wont ever buy a 6-pot, it just doesnt appeal.
The irony is that 100% of people you ask will agree the speed 6's biggest trouble was its unreliability. But when its sorted, people like me will still be grumbling, because TVR dont have a bloody V8 on offer.
I respect the fact that owners of older models remain smitten with their Rover burble, or the AJP howl, but anything short of a V8 is a very big step back in one direction which... oh, who am I kidding. Mass produce it, slap on a 3 year warranty, hell... lets turn it into the worlds most reliable engine and people will buy it. But TVR still dont have a V8 in a new model to offer people like me who might want to upgrade one day
Im not very opinionated am I
