When TVRs have rotted away...
Discussion
I was thinking today (dangerous I know!).
TVRs are the only 'mental' car I can think of nowadays - every model is pretty quick, rather than jazzed up normal models you get from other marques.
So... When they are all gone, what do we think will replace them as the stupidly powerful fireball of choice?

Fibreglass doesn't rot, unstressed V8s run forever, and it's not too difficult to tie bits of scaffolding together to make a replacement chassis every now and then 
They're going to be around for a while yet (or until the petrol runs out).
Edit to add, fibreglass does get brittle from UV exposure, so you're damned if you take your tiv out in the wet (buggers up the chassis), and your damned if you take it out in the sun

How true, but its not just TVR that can/did do this. Think its fairly safe to say that the entire model range (albeit small) of the below is a bit ... well ... extreme !

Pah! common as muck round my way. Not that I have issues with my 3 friends who have recently bought an Ultima...each

Its really sad to realise there is no more TVR 
My tuscan is the first car i have ever been satisfied with. I love it even more every time i use it and despite being 10 years old it still looks awesome, perhaps beautiful even.
Really sad
Don't be sad. Go to the garage and say good-night; you'll soon feel betterMy tuscan is the first car i have ever been satisfied with. I love it even more every time i use it and despite being 10 years old it still looks awesome, perhaps beautiful even.
