Can anybody suggest the best type of TVR to buy, bear in mind it will be mainly driven by my wife whom is only 3'6, is partially sighted and has to wear an orthapedic left shoe which makes clutch operation difficult? Any advice?

TGI Friday's do a fabulous TVR, being a little more generous with the spirits than most cocktail bars.

She'll be throwing off the left shoe before you know it, and who knows, the drink might work in reverse and improve her sight.

If none of that happens, the alcohol will losen her morals and the red bull will mean that she's awake and up for it at the end of the evening.

Sortof a win-win situation really.

Best of all, they're only about 4 quid a shot, and the quality, consistency and reliability is spot on every time.

Oh, sorry, *driven* by your wife. I mis-read that.

Mr Benjo

The best thing to do is to place a "WANTED CHIMEARA OR GRIFF" in between all the adverts for Chimeara's and Griff's.
This will let people know that you can't be arsed to read the adverts and want people to bring their wares to you.....

Mr Benjo,

I would suggest a Porsche would be more suitable as they can have automatic gearboxes for your wifes left foot, also it is the ideal car for someone who is partially sighted.

PS, I met her once and this description doesn't sound like her - has she read this thread yet?

Mr Benjo


Methinks 996 "spaztronic" would be ideal fodder for spastic wife.Husband would enjoy driving too whilst dreaming of owning proper car.

Good idea, how about 'cash waiting for Griff or Chimera up to 25K, age, mileage and colour not important...'

Does anybody know if the pedals are adjustable in the Cerb / Tuscan to make an allowance for my wifes 3" thick orthapedic left shoe?

I'm having the same problem. What TVR would suit the clothes in my wardrobe?

Also, do I need to carry a gearbox, clutch, throttle cable, bulbs, shock absorber etc. when traveling abroad as someone in sprint says these are essential items?

God knows how I made it there and back to Le Mans last year as I only had stella artois and a change of pants in the cerbie!!

First month of Cerbera ownership has taught me that fresh undercrackers are an essential item with a Cerby
