Jeremy Clarkson's best quotes about TVRs
Discussion
In view of Clarkson's current TVR bashing, see thread Top Bl**dy Gear It would be a laugh to e-mail the show with his best ever quotes about TVRs and how much he loves em'.
We all remember his comment about the Cerbera “So good it creates it’s own weather”. I well remember him doe-nutting the factory's pearlecent white Griffith but what did he say about it? He did great piece on (old) Top Gear several years ago when he chose the best sports car, finally he was shown driving an MGf (I think) when he said “come on, do you think I’ve gone mad? And the camera panned away to him blasting past in a yellow Chimaera. Then there was the rosso red 4.2 Cerbera in his video seen pasteing all-comers in a straight line drag race?
So what did he say about these cars? Come on let’s build a list and let him know what a prize plonker he is!

Beauty and love have no place in Britain. Which is why we are responsible for the most brutal and savage car of all: the TVR. An Alfa Romeo will try to woo you with poetry. A TVR will bend you over the Aga, rip off its kilt and give you one right there and then...
A TVR would nick the lifeboat charity box on the bar, empty it then shove it up your jacksie. A TVR would fight for its life, its honour, its family and, most of all, its pint.
Put a TVR on Desert Island Discs and it would take a flamethrower and a selection of hits from Wayne County and the Electric Chairs. Then it would bend Sue Lawley over the mixing desk and make animal love until it broke wind.

Two ways of getting a mad dog: give a poodle rabies or get a rottweiler. But knowing the guys from Blackpool they'd eventually give the rottweiler rabies
TVR Cerbera, so fast, it can create it's own weather
Face distortingly fast
Some cars are girly, but not this one; it's a man, and not a washboard-stomached male model either. This is a big, hulking bouncer with a neck like a birthday cake and a fondness for biting the heads off dogs
The M3M is quick, the Boxter is quicker still, but both get blitzed by the TVR Chimaera in its relentless pursuit to headbutt the horizon
'Only a nitwit would cite this as the greatest car in the world ever, but with its 5 litre V8 the Griffith is the sort of car that can wake the dead. Listen to that (cue doughnut) an intoxicating blend of wheelspin with a V8 bassline...'
'The Porsche surged ahead - but whoa! look at that TVR! The Vantage too was struggling, being left miles behind the Blackpool rocket.. can it really do a standing mile in less than 30 seconds... ooh close - too close!'

you might well be right
Be careful - even if they read it out, you might find yourself denounced as thin skinned and whingeing.
Can't think what he said that was so bad anyway - all I saw him do was laugh when someone said TVR was the best looking car of all time. If that's the worst thing anyone ever says about me or my car, I'll be happy forever! And the review they gave of the T350 was pretty good too.
The quotes are brilliant, though he did say on Desert Island Discs on Sunday that he'd grown up a bit since the 'knicker elastic type quotes', so I doubt they'd broadcast if he wants to leave them behind.

The girl sat next to the BMW driver would be wearing an alice band, whereas the girl sat next to the TVR driver wouldnt be wearing any knickers...
