advice please :)

Hi all,

I'm seriously debating a tamora at the moment i really need to scratch the tvr itch. I'm thinking of using it as an every day car and then buying a shed for winter. My worry is i do quite a few shorter journeys. My commute to work is 12 miles but mostly on country roads. I know i won't get much heat into the engine but will this lead to problems? I will go out for longer drives reguallry mostly at the weekends.

I have been a long time reader on the tvr section and you guys have always put up fantastic advice, i tried a search for previous threads on this topic but couldn't find anything.

Please put me out of my misery and tell me to buy one!

It is still only a car with a 4 stroke combustion engine, the Speed Six is not some special secret magic thing. As long as you drive it gently and give it plenty of exercise at weekends it will be fine. Do it.

Or get up earlier and take the long way

Go for it, you won't regret it. Just go in with eyes wide open.

It will be fine - you can always fit an oil pre-heater and/or go the long way.

I went into Evesham in the Tuscan yesterday, its a 20 mile round trip, I clocked up 50 miles Be prepared to be late for work

Would recommend Oil Heater Pad, mines cooking at 40% stable oil temp on start up

Yep go the long way to work, you will any way once you get behind the wheel, get a pre-heater and a pre-oiler - both nice cars by the way, red one for me

Just want to buy the best one possible with a good history, no real budget maybe circa £25k

Go for it, I did 6 miles each way to office but went out every chance I got bank/sandwich run was 10miles !!! and get the newest car budget allows.Craig at Track V road just sold a black beauty, call him and see if he has another up his sleeve.

The red one looks stunning and to me is a no brainer over the blue one at RG. 2.5k more but less miles and 3 years newer, so benfitting from the improvements made towards the end of the life of the S6.

The red one looks lovely. Is it the same car that was for sale in Doncaster a year or two ago?
