[aledjones]

No - they have to be limited so that their performance isn't too frightening to the real world.............

[aledjones]

and they dont mind being beaten by a 70's untrendy car ?

[EdT]

This reminds me of an episode of 'The 6 million dollar man' when Steve Austin's chubby pal challenged him to a running race... his chubby pal lead the 100 yd slow dash..."Ha I won!" he celebrated. 6 mill man said "yup but who's sweating loads & out of breath?!".

i mean an orange allegro and a tvr next to one another,
who would u expect to win.

it was easy aswell

[flasher]

Yeah TVR's are slow, not suprised your allegro slaughtered a Tuscan.

Had a Cerbera a couple of years ago but kept getting done at the lights by old codgers with zimmer frames.

Can't beleive I've ordered another TVR, it's going to happen all over again...oh, the humiliation...

you should have seen it, you wouldnt be mocking then, my 1750 turbo absolutely killed it.

the tvr was really trying aswell

i think it was my rover SD1 exhaust sytem that won it

[flasher]

Oh well, it's half term isn't it.....

[swilly]

I didn't realise they made cars in 1750.

[aledjones]

i knew you TreVoR drivers would react like this.
cant you handle an bit of competition??

you should attend one of my fathers track days, and see what im talking about.

im sure there would be some red faces aswell.

Aled Jones,

You are a steaming turd.

[aledjones]

you are just bitter
cos a 500 quid hump of junk whipped one of your 'babies'

why not take it like a man

[gazzab]

Hang on a minute - I like steaming turds more.

[House]

Is it 'national pathetic attempt to wind up TVR drivers week'?? wot with Phil Micock and now Mr Jones?? I suppose it makes a humerous distraction to impending global war.....

[pdavison]

Maybe you were getting confused.

The front and rear of a Tuscan could have easily been muddled up in amongst your tyre smoke and it would perfectly acceptible for you to beat a Tuscan reversing into a car park spot on the high street !

[incorrigible]

Aled,

Would you consider swapping your All aggro for my Chimaera, there'd be cash adjustment of course

How much extra would you want

BTW I think your singing is fantastic

I have a Mickey Finn & Aphrodite remix of Walking In The Air somewhere on tape, most amusing it is too...

Aled, that is truly amazing mate. So much so, that I am selling the Chimaera, forgetting about the Tuscan S and will plump for an Allagro myself. But only one in Marina orange and with the Van Den Plas grill. A rare beast I know. I wonder if Rob Ingleby could help me source one...
...PS I lived at the back of Longbridge as a kid and blame the paint fumes from when they were making the Allagro in the late-70s for stunting my growth. But what a car. How could those Austin workers have gone on strike so often when they had the mouth-watering prospect of an 8 hour day on the track making that classic piece of British engineering? Or am I getting confused with the Ital?

[plotloss]

If you're going Agro its got to have the square steering wheel.

Matt.

I think you'll find an Austin Ambassador is just that lit bit quicker thaan the allegro, I've herad of 0-660 in .009 sec can't be bad for £300.
