I have some pictures on the wall of various TVR's which my daughter was looking at this morning, (I say kids, she is 17 this year and once told a very reputable ex-dealer she wanted a Tuscan as her first car ) when I heard a statement I honestly never thought I'd hear.
Daughter with expensive ideas said:

The Tuscan looks quite normal compared to the Typhon.

Is that a good or a bad thing?

Or are you now not going to be able to get a Tuscan because (in 17 year old speak), 'They're soooo last Tuesday'...

My eldest keeps saying to me go on you know you want to lend me the Griff.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I saw what he did to his muppet car!!!!

The younger one who has now got a provisional is dropping hints.

I am thinking of leaving home and providing safe haven for the Griff (and myself).

Bad thing for her Alex!
I told her of course she could have a Tuscan for her birthday - as long as she funded it.

So it's now up to her to find another £50k or so.

I am the eldest in my family, 22yrs young, with brothers of 19 and 16. Instead of borrowing my father's Cooper S and 69 Alfa Spider, I tuned up my own mini and bought an S3. Best thing for it. That way you don't put "the fear" into the parents. Mind you if my father still had his Carrera 4 I would be attempting to borrw it all the time.

Might be cheaper if you pay for the car on the condition she pays for the insurance...
