She needs a little help to let me change from my current subaru up to a T350 of sort...

She keeps reminding me of the bad luck i had with my tuscan..

Might have to take a ride out for a drive of a few then let her drive too, Is there any major issues with the T350 like the tuscan(it was an early one bear in mind '00)

Doesn't seem to be the slightest bit of logic in trading in a high performance, practical, reliable car for a 2 seater bit of ballistic plastic.

I would say that that is all the evidence you need to feel comfortable that you are doing the right thing

My understanding is that the Tuscans bore the brunt of the major issues and that the later T's have faired much better.

postpone the wedding, the TVR will is every bit as important and will be cared for just as much as the future wife, but the TVR's need rescued quickly to good homes!

This is what my hubby did, bought me a beautiful Diamond full eternity ring which was a nice surprise. Two weeks later mentioned he was thinking about buying another TVR, and would I mind, what could I say!

How sneaky is that, a bit of reverse psycology. rofl

roflif only that was possible. will have to stick to one toy at the moment tho.

The grafix were a bit of fun for WRC germany and as the car has done around 200 miles since havent come off yet. drink they are reversed on the otherside as well for some mad reason.

Anyway back on topic.... The TVR.....

Just buy it, and shoot a line like
"TVR - slippery and fast, like you honey, let's start as we mean to carry on"
and see if she goes along with it.

best of luck!!

What would be even better is watching you try that line with *your* other half. How good is J with her frying-pan-to-the-head forehand?

I personally think the T350 is now pretty well sorted, im on my 2nd one now and had one since 03 and they havent been any trouble. Only slight niggle i had with the 1st was a pinking issue which was sorted with anew chip. The one ive got now has been brilliant, im wanting to move on to a Sag but this current TVR has been the best of the 4 ive had so im in 2 minds whether to keep it.
Only thing id say is get as late a model as the funds will allow, if only for the improvements in the engine.
The build quality of my 55 reg is much better than the 03 reg i had first aswell
