I know exactly what you mean. I sold my T350 a few years ago and regretted it every goddamn day for about 2 years until I got the Tuscan. You're infected - better to go with it, I found.

Must be like malaria, once you've had it you keep getting relapses (or perhaps not)
Took me just under 5 years after I sold my 1st T350 to return (its recently reappeared on the list) as I didnt gel with it . Now back in the fold with one T350C, I think I can understand and make my own.. (hopefully). I think ownership prospects are better now than they were back then as info/stuff is far more available and not hidden in the dark recesses of the factory.

I know exactly what you mean. I sold my last T350c and bought a Maserati! What a mistake'a to make'a! Sold that at a massive loss after only a few months, to get the T350c I now have. Unfortunately I maybe selling that soon to help fund a house project. I really don't want to but if needs must I'll be back in a TVR asap!

Hello mate,

thought you'd be back at some point, not suprised as understand how addictive these cars can be compared to other 'performance' cars on the road. Its the closest driving experience to the thrill and excitment of a c7, westfield etc without the chance of getting rained on or run over by a large lorry.

Your ex-tvr is looking clean, put just over 1000 miles on since i got it and every one of those with a permanant smile on my face!

Booked in for front end spray and service coming up.

You've got it bad when your sell your pride and joy, defect to the German side and then come home and buy back your orignal car, eh Trev?

Point is it got me hooked after just a few weeks of owning something quite different and after another superb Sunday working on my 350, nothing major - upper ball joints and getting ready for the return of the Nitrons, makes a whole load of sense.

The question is, are you using your bikes as often as before? smile
