Embarrassing moments in your TVR...

Well, I'm one of those people who hates reading manuals or handbooks, so I've been feeling my around the Griff as I go. We had a great day out in the Griff last Sunday, going to a fly-past along the coast. On the way back my girlfriend nearly passed out with the heat, I must admit, it was hot, very hot, but I put that down to heat coming through the bulkhead contributing to the temperature. I sat in the garage yesterday finally going through the owners handbook, trying to work out what all the knobs and switches do, oh dear....

I'd got the heating on full...

It sometimes makes little difference! If you have a worn or old water valve, hot water makes it way through to the heater matrix anyway. And the heat soak from the engine is inevitable in this weather too.

I left the boot off the latch over the weekend i got the tuscan at a festival, came back to the car and the girlfriend gets in the car, closes the door, the window goes up. I go to open mine and can't get it to open as battery completely flat. Never knew about the hidden lever to open the door and she was stuck there until the aa found us amongst the 85000 people,

I went to the hospital to pick my wife with the Chim, it was a very sunny and hot day.
I took the kind of "kiss & fly" lane but she was late for few seconds, so I stopped the engine.
Quite immediately, and ambulance came and I had to move the Chim.
Unfortunately, it was the very first time, after 3-4 years of possession that I've experimented the hot start issue.
The ambulance personnel had to push the car with me in order to free the way

A friend asked to see the car today, he put his arm through the open window of my Griff in the garage, (top up) and the alarm went off...we are both now quite deaf!
