Just love this quote

"In the olden days I always got the impression that TVR built a car, put it on sale, and then found out how it handled. Usually when one of their customers wrote to the factory complaining about how dead he was."

my favorite of his...
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 Volkswagen will make you a lovely shepherd’s pie and light a fire to make your evening warm and cosy. Whereas a TVR will come home and bend you over the Aga again. 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.

Apparently Clarkson phoned the factory and complained about the lack of safety features.
TVR's reply 'Don't Crash It Then' i do hope that statement was true that is a great answer. smile

The comments make good reading!

Is it just me, or are most from 12 year old little turds who have only ever seen/driven one in Gran turismo or whatever and because of that are now almighty oracle's on the subject?!
