Why are some TVR drivers so miserable?

[flyingjase]

If I spot another Tiv, I rightly or wrongly give 'um a big wave as I go past.

Recently I've noticed that not everyone's waving back. Today I saw 3 Tiv's:-

1 T reg Blue chim near Maidenhead - no wave

1 Turquoise Chim coming out of Henley towards Wallingford - no wave

1 Red T350 in Rugby - big wave

When I was driving a Chim, I got a much better response. Is it just that TVR are attracting more miserable people, or is it 'cos I is black? (Tuscan that is!)

[madbadger]

I'm not miserable.

[bga]

I've only met 1 owner who hasn't waved back in my 3 months of ownership.
Miserable bugger! I console myself that mine was much louder than his

Take Steve for example he scowls nearly all the time

Showing my ignorance now, but what's happening at Chatsworth??

Although I'm not sure her in doors will stamp the passport for that as well as Pistonfest!

Its language like this, that sets them aside from mere mortals

they have a whole new syntax to think about, let alone being cheerful


truly 'goths' amongst us

Daggart and I can attest to having actually met the Most Miserable TVR Owner in the world. You could not miss him, over six feet tall, ashen faced, with the expression of a Buckingham Palace guardsman about to suffer a moment of urinary crisis. He was outside a showroom in Edinburgh with his Tuscan and (I assume) his girlfriend. We arrived, saw him, and with the typical flush of enthusiasm exuded by TVR owners who see another, tried our best to open a conversation: polite small talk, humour, a joke or two, compliments about his car, a cartwheel from Daggart while wearing no trousers, but to no avail. He mumbled something without moving his lips that could have been, "I don't know you tossers," and stood there like the Statue of Liberty without her torch. His equally glum girlfriend in the passenger seat hardly moved an eyelid. Daggart and I knew our secret signal for "Exit Situation Fast" and made a dignified but not quiet get-away in respective Cerbera and Griffith. So, feckin' nuts to him.

The assumption that was his girlfriend was probably giving him too much credit!

Nah, it's more about bullshit baffles brains!

Cant see how anyone driving a TIV could be miserable. Even in the soaking wet and having to pootle along I still smile, especially now the exhaust note is now at volume 11!
