Goodbye For Now!!

Sold my T350 after 2 years of good loud fun only let me down once (clutch) but loved every minute, but time to move on. Gone all sensible and bought an Audi R8 its no TVR but lets see what happens!

[Don1]

I promise to look for you....




















...in thye rearview mirror!

[stub101]

Enjoy the R8 and I'm sure after a bit of time you'll be back in the fold...

What colour have you gone for?

[Inchpractice]

I'd be interested to hear how you get on with the R8.
Would've loved one of those but they're a lot more expensive than a T350.

Hi, gone for a black one its a manual looking forward to the 4 wheel drive as I was a bit of a chicken when it came to the T350 in the wet!!!

Lovely cars. Only thing which annoyed me was the clutch rest - kept catching my foot on it. Oh, and they are VERY wide - 2.029M or close to that. Watch those mirrors!

But now you're risking £60k worth of car instead of £20k worth. This is one reason I didn't buy an R8 and bought my TVR back - too much money to spend on a car that I wanted to drive hard without 'worrying'.

I may get one when they're 30 something k though

[SpeedBuzz]

Yep, lovely looking car but the way Audi are selling them prices will have to drop to a reasonable level before i commit

[j3gme]

Who cares about prices your along time dead !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fair point. I don't do loans for anything other than houses though - and I ain't going to spend so much on something which will be 40k in 2 years time (I hope). Personal choice. I'm jealous though

There's a guy up our road with a black R8 which he's selling for £58k. Nice car. Very nice car. I'd still 'ave him in my Panda around Wycombe though

Nice choice and a good time to get one going into winter as my Dad's RS4 embarrases many people in the wet/sleet/snow..

[O/T] Cant wait to get the JP on now..... (Thanks)

[The Lukas]

I would have bought 3 TVRs for that money

Enjoy your new toy anyway, they are lovely cars and you do only live once, so get amongst it.
