Let's use this thread if you are not happy about the recent buyout and the future of TVR.

Use the other thread if you are optimistic about it.

You need to get a life if the biggest worry you have is TVR being sold to a non Brit.

Then bog off to your own thread and let us have a good moan here!

Given the fact that the deal, stinky or not, is done and given the fact that there isn't anything you or I or anyone else can do about it might I suggest that you get over it.

Personally, I just hope it works out OK and I wish everyone involved all the best. The more I hear, the more optimistic I get .

Yeah I can see why the deal would stink especially when the new owner has a passion for cars & billions to spend and has stated that he wants to INVEST in the company!

Sorry but a forward thinker + plenty of money to put things right = a positive to me.


It might not be british owned (even though he went to school here and lives here) but its still built in britain which is the main thing.

So dry your eyes and deal with it like big boys me thinks!

Whatever drugs you're taking they're not working,as you obviously have been hearing voices and are suffering from persistent delusions and other first rank symptoms.

I've never read the book, but I'm well aware that the good times would not be good if the bad times weren't bad. Cherish your misery, it's the only way of attaining happiness.

If you take the sportsmen and women way of working out whether someone is British then it's possible you could still think it's a British owned company!

I can't get upset about this. I still haven't got over Zanussi buying Hotpoint*

For anyone who doesn't get my point:

FFS get a grip you load of big gurls. It's probably the only company you buy from where you actually know who owns the equity. You probably don't give a sh1t about anything else - know what your bank/pension invests in? Know which political party your employer supports (and unless they're a small company, they will because they need to lobby parliament)?

If you like what they make, support them with your cash, if you don't then take it somewhere else. Or you could wait and see how it pans out before making boorish and repetitive proclamations that just might turn out to be intensely embarrassing to you the future (and which plenty of people will be delighted to remind you of ).

*Nb, my Zanussi washer dryer is bloody fantastic, has been going for years, has moved house 4 times and still cuts the mustard.

It will interesting to compare the evolution of Chelski FC with TVR as they will both be flying the hammer and sickle at the helm.
TVR could have done a lot worse and ended up with Ken Bates!!

Come the revolution..............
