I was aware that I would attract some attention when I got my T350T, well I hardly expected to blend in did I?, but what I have found most surprising is the number of people who take pictures of it with their camera phones. On an typical journey from South Yorks to London I have noticed an average of about 4 people per trip photographing the car, let's face it they're hardly taking a picture of me are they. Although I found this very strange at first I now regard it as a great compliment.

Cheers - Rippers

Yep, happens a lot since I got mine. I try to slow down a bit so they can get a pic and give them a bit of aural entertainment as well People love TVRs!

Makes me smile when people walk out in front of the car at a junction and stop you pulling away until they've got their shot!

Yep happened to me on several occasions.
Funniest one was when pulling upto traffic lights on a two lane one way system. I pull up at the lights a few seconds later a 911 pulled alongside in the other lane. 5 teenage lads then ran across the road in front of the poker and started photographing the T350.
I looked across at the the guy in the 911 who instantly looked away trying really hard to make out he hadnt even noticed.

only had the car a week :0

stopped to let a pal out the car at the pub and 3 teenagers ran up, "thats a right machine you got there, take us out for a spin" and an awful lot of camera phones at traffic lights and people shouting "spin the tubes" and waving there arms around.

even last night was sat outside the tastie tattie in aberdeen to get some chips and a focus slowly drove past with three heads and camera phones out the window "i love your car man"

i also had someone shout "your car is too nice, move to edinburgh" (i live in aberdeen)

I parked my Tamora in Sainsbury car park in Chippenham to get some cash out of the cashpoint, when I got back to the car there was this guy taking photos of my Tamora with his phone - It just makes you feel that you have something special !!!!

I often return too my 350, especially if the sun is hitting the paint right and its got someone looking round it with a camera phone - when its parked very publicly e.g. outside the bank, its good too see and her everyone looking and wondering what it is etc, then click the button, the lights flash, and I walk upto it, jump in, fire it up and pull off too the look of some shocked people that a 19 year old in tracksuit bottoms and a rugby jersey just jumped in a TVR and drove off lol (no i didnt nick it and no im not a chav ) - I do agree, it makes you feel very special
