With Minty working on it, no wonder there's quality issues. How come they can work on the engine ???

Saw that as well! Girlfriend was watching it whilst I was hanging a door in the kitchen, and she shouted "isn't that a TVR?" Didn't see the full car, but saw the telltail nose of a Tuscan!

Heh, this is my first trip into the TVR forum, I had to pop in and see if you guys saw it too

But did you HEAR it?? it sounded like Minty was yanking on the throttle of an old ford escort...

I am guessing they don't have the insurance for him to actually work on a running engine, but they could have atleast overlayed the right sound!

Rubbish, that was the REAL exhaust noise. But Minty was not tweeking the throttle cable as he was on the wrong side of the car, so I guess someone was giving the throttle a blip.....

Thats the correct noise??

My automatic renault laguna sounds better, unless it was my TV that made the TVR sound tinny, There was no V8'ness to it at all.

Won't that be because there wasn't a Griffith in the garage too.
