I blooming well agree with that....it is almost impossible to have a conversation without you sticking your oar in Flash! Anybody got a date yet for the 350 targa?!

You really do only have the one joke book, or is it you only have one page?

It's not the one I found in a Villa holidays brochure, with a TVR S parked outside in the picture, is it?

I would be interested in renting it for long weekends, as well!

Hey!! It's a WWW forum here, anyone can join in...

I love Honfleur too, we should all meet up for a beer one weekend later in the Summer and talk about the time you ordered a T350T and it never materialised..

Only Kidding!!!

5 weeks to Le Mans Bennno!! Looking forward to our race accross France mate, like we had in the Cerbs a couple of years back..

Will give you a 10 minute head start, will only use first 3 gears and will leave handbrake on to give you a 'sporting chance' this time.

boy oh boy am I thinking of changing my mind!!
Drove a new range rover home this evening (tis my mothers new car just having a go) was mighty impressed, Flasher mentioned or rather told everyone!!! the other day about the roof panels disappearing, I know this happens, sometime or other and was thinking, what the f*** am I doing buying a car that will lose its roof by the time this car tops out!
SO..........
Should I ????
1) forget it and stick with the 996 and either sell (this will get flash going again!!) my deposit or try and get it back!!
2)get a 350c to suit flashers opinion!
3) Get another cerb (the equivalent to standing in a cold shower tearing up £50 notes!!)
4) Scrap cars altogether and either get the bus or make the wife/kids drive?

Its late and the Jack Daniels is overtaking me......Put it to a public vote well at least a Pistonhead one!!! What have I got to lose!?! (cue Flasher again!)

Well, I can only give an opinion based on my experience with the 5 TVR's I have been lucky enough to own....

The roof panel in the Tamora almost popped out every time I went over 100mph. And before I get a lecture from *999* these include track days.

I had a think about the Targa and quickly came to the conclusion that:

a) It would be months waiting for the car.
b) the roof would leak
c) I would still require air con. (The Tamora was an oven without it)
d) £2000 for what is effectively two sunroofs is a rip off.
e) The roof panels would be a total pain in the arse to remove and replace.
f) Where do you put them on a track day?

After all that lot plus the fact I liked my Cerb, I ended up with the Coupe. And I'm just off the Folembray in 5 mins, at Back Home in it next week and I will be driving (along with Benno in his T350) to Le Mans in it in a months time...

Good job I didn't wait for the Targa eh? I'd have missed all those events and had to go in a bloody Focus..

I would change your order mate and order the coupe. At least you will have a car in six weeks time rather than a promise of one....

Sorry *999* it's only my opinion, don't take offence.
