I was at TVR last week and I'm sure I saw some kind of 6x6 amphibious vehicle with a pair of detachable wings stowed in the back. I think the badge said Komodo it also incorporated an in-built loo! Come to the show and bring your cheque books!!

Could someone who has already strung the clues together possibly save us all some time?

A waiting list for the loo up your street? I think I'll stick to the one in my flat.

A wild guess may be a convertible Tuscan ... but the info came from a well dodgy source so say no more

Talking of loos in cars, wasn't there an ultra high performance Rolls Royce once called the Rolls Royce Commode.

The Bog Rolls

Actually, there was a base model with a wheezing 1.0L engine in it called the Rolls Canardly.

The strap line was "it Rolls down the hills but Canardly get up them".

(Oh dear. I'll stop now.)

Was up at the factory last week, they told me that it was going to be the soft top Tuscan and the production Sagaris.

I reckon TVR have taken a leaf out of the Porsche book of marketing with the Tuscan covertible.

Porsche have released a new car but it looks the same as all the others and even has the same name.

Now thats clever marketing. Tell everyone its new when really its just the same.

What's all this talk of loos? Are TVR making a methane powered car?
