That's it. TVR ownership is now officially suspended until further notice. I bad man took my baby away this morning....well, he was a nice man actually. Was positively awful watching her trot off into the distance. Look after my baby Paul, you got yourself a wee peach there.

Now for something completely different.....relocating to the US of A and have already picked out my 5.0 V8 Mustang. Oh yes!

The way chilliman has been acting recently, think i may drool over a Noble for when I return (wash my mouth out with soap!)
Cheers

Horrible seeing your car go, sold mine to move to NZ, came back a year later and bought another Chim within months.

I'm going nowhere. Nor is Niggles. Except round the local B roads at warp factor 7 with the roof off.

Yep, at 3.50USD per gallon I can use a 5.0 muscle car as a daily driver, even though I have a 40 mile round trip commute every day. US folks are very annoyed about 3.50/gal and go positively berserk when the price approaches 4/gal

When in Rome, and all that. I will helping the US economy get back on its feet biggrin

61p a litre is including the 9% tax so that means we are paying alot Tax.

So the US charge around 5p tax on the litre ..wish i could aford to drive my car every day ..

When I was there in 97 it was as low as 0.95c a gallon! Cost about $20 to fill a car, unbelievable!

That's it, TVR ownership has now commenced!
I'm the bad man that took your baby away. Rest assured that Marjory has gone to a good home, although she
might need to be re-named.
Good luck in the USA, and the Mustang.

I remember being there in Florida when it hit $1- there was nearly a riot going on in the petrol station, It had only gone up 1cent but it sparked outrage! It was phenominal
