Point taken. I'll throw this record away. (sideways, thats all somebody had to say!)

Seriously... can we change the record..?

[SXS]

I'm talking about warranties now?
is that the same 'bloody' record?

Let me get this straight, anything to do with the speed 6 is the same 'bloody' record?

Hmmm... So why have a Speed Six Engine forum?
Obviously the record will be rewound everytime someone comes in with a report or engine failure?

Essentially yes. It seems that every time I browse the forum you're posting about S6 longevity, them going pop, the warranty or TVR Power or Speedtech / TVRCraft, Al Melling or the solution to the problem...

It just seems to be an endless circle of talking about the same thing...

To be fair to SXS, the exact subjects you have mentioned are the ones integral to this section... 'Speed Six Engine'. Furthermore I fundamentally dont see whay he should not post or start theads on any of the subjects you have mentioned. You are of course fully entitled to start a thread or contribute in this section about anything Speed Six related.

Please feel free to enlighten me what is "old fart" about my comment? All I have stated is that you appear to be rekindling the same of basic story. Blimey, the minute someone posts something saying they don't agree and you start throwing your toys out of the pram..!

For the record, I am not a moderator.

[SXS]

Dont agree with what?
Pram? Toys? and you say you're not an old fart?
Geeeez.

I know you're not a mod podie. Oh and I've put the record player up for sale on ebay.

But FYI the powers that be have told me off already so its best I keep out of here.

Oh and stop feckin winding me up before I throw my pram at you!

I think its about time that SXS properly delared his obvious interest in the speedtech/melling/TVRcraft/whatever operations............

Dont mean to be the devils advocate Podie but i believe you have never owned a Speed Six engined TVR.

You might find if you had/have you may be more sympathetic.

Just an observation.

I suspect not.

My opinion, maybe not one shared by others, and without intending to be antagonistic.

The nature of SXS's posts with respect to the S6 engine have been more akin to adverts for a company he may or may not have some connections with rather than helpful advice. This may or may not be deliberate; it could be a misinterpretation of an enthusiastic literary style on my behalf.

Either way, if you have S6, it wears thin after a while.

I refer the honourable gentleman to my previous post.

Just for the record SXS Podie is not a moderator! On this or any other forum.

This forum has two prime moderators at this point in time PetrolTed and myself.

We can however swell the ranks to about 20 should the natives get restless.

It's no surprise these messages keep popping up; this will continue till the problems are solved.

However, in another post someone said a very wise thing: buy them new, run them till the warranty ends, then get another one. Of course this is expensive but should work, assuming any rebuilds are done swiftly and you can agree (on forehand) on a good trade-in price.

What warranty does TVR give on the rebuilds (important for the 2nd hand market, after the 3 year period has run out)?

I got 6 months or 6000 miles last time.

That's not a lot, so not wise buying a S6 2nd hand then older than 2 years.

[SXS]

Right, looks like I gotta wipe my arse on here, my posts seem to be read like some form of adverts or anti-TVR virus.

1: Firstly, I am not financially connected to any TVR related business out there, period. I have owned TVR's for over 7 years now, the current being a Cerbera and I love her to bits. I have always recommended highly esteemed individuals/companies for their work. We have a 'no naming shaming policy' here, but we dont have a policy that says we cant mention any company out there in goodwill????

2: Secondly, I WILL say what I want when I want until I am told by the owner of this site to be quiet. And on many occasions I have stepped away from the keyboard. I am a guest on this website, just like everyone else, and I respect that.

3: Thirdly, if anyone has a problem with my words or doesnt like my attitude, I will give you 60 seconds to sort it out face-2-face, after which I will sort it out in my own way. I am fed up of people assuming this and that etc etc., its starting to get on my nerves, I've been a member on these forums for yonks and never seen sooo much 'ganging', so many good chaps have left these forums cos of the same shite. Stop it, we're all TVR owners, but all have our own opinions, but sometimes there are facts, and to accept the facts seems to be very hard for certain individuals who keep using the excuse of 'I've heard it a dozen times, its boring me now' - either walk away or react productively - STOP putting people off from posting in here.

4: Fourthly - I love the TVR community, many PH'ers are close friends of mine, and I dont have anything against anyone on here - its a virtual world, but I would love to see some of you in person. BUT I do get seriously stressed out when someone keeps reading my posts with some hidden agenda to shut-me-up - and if that is the case, consider point 3!

PS. It has been widely accepted that Speed 6 engines have gotten better over the years, but from an engineering stand-point, there are still inherent design flaws - and these have not been erased, just circumvented, which IMO - is no good! And if anyone defies that, then please do so at a technical capacity by contacting any speed 6 engine-building authority outside the factory to verify this.

PSS. I have a great deal of respect for Al Melling, he and Ravencroft are still today great friends, and when Al speaks at this talk this weekend, many things will be made clear. So many on these forums speculate, so many reject, so many are tired of hearing the same thing day in and day out - maybe its time you heard facts, and if you still dont believe it from engineers and designers who have put their reputations on the line - then there is no way to educate you!

I'm a realist - I dont like to offend, so PLEASE forgive me for my brash attitude - if you dont know me, then maybe its time you met me in person, I will be down at the talk this weekend, perfect opportunity to have a sensible gassing session over a few beers - you'll soon realise that I am not a feckin spot on a dogs dying arse-hole, I am in fact another fella with just as much love for the automotive world as the next man has.... (although the way I control my expenditure, I might just qualify to be a gas-addict!)

Goodbye!
