Who says these cars are'nt reliable? Just got back from south of France after 2300 miles of roof off motoring and the old girl never missed a beat.

Anyone considering a trip over the water should give it a go, French roads are terrific and a trip back thro' the alps in an S is something else!
The car attracts a lot of attention from puzzled froggies,can anyone tell me the french for 'hand built british sportscar' for next time i go over?

Must be something in the water I got back from the region last Sunday, and I believe Griffman has recently returned from a trip to the same area.
Echo comments on the terrific roads, I had a ball They really like their cars down there too, I simply couldn't believe the level of attention the NSX got from the public.

Merci Monsieur Kentish!
Trying to explain what a TVR is when your french amounts to ordering food and drink and paying for a campsite was a little difficult!

I was spotted by Griffman in the tunnel in Monaco just after watching the italian grand prix over a chilli cheeseburger in the stars and bars cafe.Must stop all this namedropping!
