Every effort should be made to ensure you 'DO NOT' have a TVR in the garage, as this is cruel and inhumane way to treat such a beast.

Regular exercise is recommended.

hi tech hollywood style laser activated alarm system to keep the TVR in the garage.

a box labelled - 'spare patience'.

one of those fibreglass pits - makes the waxoyling job easier - but not necessarily cleaner.

Or even a pair of speakers wired into my main Hi-Fi so I can play Pink Floyd as I wash the car on the drive, in competition with my next door neighbour who always has Dylan drowning on whilst fiddling with his TR4. Rich...
