R2 comment on TVR...

[Welshbeef]

Apparently according to R2 10:13am 6.3.15
The Car brand TVR stands for = Towing Vehicle Required....

[Podie]

Wow, they worked hard on that one.

[rigga]

Side splitting .....do they know what lotus stands for too?

[cheesesliceking]

[madbadger]

thought it was just Tow Vehicle.

The ing seems superfluous.

For Americans it is, yes. They also have "run shoes", "cycle helmets" and "swim lessons". I even saw "shave foam" the other day! Here in blighty we know how to speak English though

The context that they were doing it for all makes of cars is missing!

I think he gets paid by the word, no other explanation for half the stuff he posts.

A DJ that should stick to playing music rather than talking of something he knows very little about.

Three TVR's owned over the years 35,000 + miles between them and never needed a tow truck.

According to this article One in Three cars will breakdown in the next 12 months... Never knew that there was so many TVR's on the road

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/road-safety/85...

TVR's are a pretty rare site on our roads and when a 15-25 year old car does have a problem people notice it at the side of the road. They just passed 20 other 2-3 year old Euro boxes broke down but not a word is mentioned.

If mine does have a problem then so what,it's 18 years old and at some stage I except it may happen. I had a brand new 309gti back in 1988 and within 500 miles I was broke down,in two years of ownership I was recovered 7-8 times.. Now that was something I wasn't expecting

Correct, note the "Gassing", not "Trolling".

[jamieduff1981]

I get the TVR jokes in before anyone else does. I'm quite difficult to upset.

Absolutely!

As is the fact that it was listeners coming up with the 'hilarious' quips, wasn't it?

[steviejasp]

I stole it from somewhere, possibly PH....

When some highly amusing character tells me my TVR is unreliable I always reply " mine is very reliable, which one do you have?"
Always shuts the fkers up
