Land of Rising losers eh???

At least the Skyline owner can do that all day and know his car will get him home again

The last PH meet I went to, the only TVR owner who turned up had to get us "losers" to go and give him a bump start cod his car had cut out about a mile away.

But I suppose straight line speed is what its all about

whats the point in starting an argumentative thread, then telling someone whos made a valid point to 'chill'
so a GT-Ts Skyline got beat? arn't the standard cars about 220 bhp?
im more amazed the old wedge managed to start IMHO

anyway what do i know. having had both TVR's and Jap motors

I never realised that 'uprated' AP brakes on a wedge actually stood for Austin Princess! The old parts list looks like a Scrapheap Challenge <--- note smilie being used to show humour...

Gaz, the truth is rarely funny.

turbo-tastic i do belive that it was my griff that you helped push start many thanks for that....

[turbo-tastic]

Damn it, I was hoping you wouldn't see this.

It was indeed your griff, and I must admit, I loved every second I was behind the wheel of it

Oh Dicky - you've gone all tribal on us now.

Genuine best wishes to all of the Jap boys and girls.

glad you enjoyed it mate... , have to add my thoughts on tvr reliability and say that since we've had the engine re-built, new clutch, upgraded the suspension and brakes and pads had the diff refurbished,new altinator,new starter motor,new H T leads and had the cooling system completely overhauld that the griff has been completely reliable (thank fcuk ) and next time we meet you are more than welcome to have another go in her....... don't really want to say to much about the wedge boys because this afternoon i put down a deposit on a 350i mind you the engine has been replaced with a 4.6 litre lump,i just hope its as reliable as the griff... take it easy turbo-tastic see you soon

I should hope so

It was a good laugh even though we only got up to 25mph tops, but just the noise from it was enough to make me chuckle

Good luck with the new car :thumbp:
