Ok, all the other TVR forums seem to be running threads on this, so why should us S'ers miss out? The S might be the 'baby' or 'entry level' Tiv, but only other TVR owners know that!
Lets have some stories please...
I've had:
* Always seem to get let out at junctions, waved at and generally treated very well by other road users.
* My parents always say they 'hear me arriving' 5 minutes before I do
* The boy who yelled NICE CAR MATE at the top of his lungs when I drove past.
* The kids who all came over in Halfords car park to say how great the car was
* The kids I met on a convoy with a Tuscan and Tuscan-S who came over to tell me mine sounded the best
* My fellow neighbours who never spoke to me before, but who now all come for a chat while I'm washing the car.
* The guy in my local garage who pulled up in his brand new Merc AMG and got out to say how great he thought the S was.
* The drivers who move out the way sharpish once they spot me in the rear view mirror.
* The little girl in France who ran over to take a look, followed by her mother exclaiming excited stuff in french.
Loads of others...

I said decree, or tried to but had to type quick as my boss wandered over! I was happy with your thread but now its all gone horribly wrong...
I particularly like the fact that all people want to talk about at Parent's evening is my car and how nice it sounds!This happened in the summer on way up to Silverstone opening day:
Happily bombing it around the country lanes, all twisty and turny like, around Toaster area and I came up behind a convertible BMW ( roof down.... v sunny). I had to slow down, but it was nice cruising.
The BMW then moved to the centre of the road to turn right, and I went passed.
The BMW then changed its mind and chased me down (Two very Good looking Birds). I then burnt a bit of fuel and opened up a gap, then they caught me up. Nice game of cat and mouse was had for about 10mins. I the got bored, waved at them and floored it as I got on the A43

Summer in London
6:30 in the morning, roof down, roads empty. Put my foot down and crossing Oxford Street..the noise bouncing off the buildings. Approaching the US Embasy woke the armed police, who raised there guns from thier waist to their chests until they worked out what the noise was the stares they gave me when I was in front of them was priceless

Almost worth driving to London just to try this! Convoy, anyone?
Ohhh and another.....
One afternoon left work early....
Sitting in the traffic and cabby yells over "nice car mate, I always wanted one"... I Grin and smiled and then revved the Engine.
Next set of lights.... same cabby " How much it cost you mate"......I reply "About £7k".... He goes "I thaught it would be more than that"
Next set lights Cabby goes "Will you get that car out off my site..... Its making me jealous".
A lovely feeling of pride inside.... and I was beaming ear to ear all the way home.

I'll re-post these here then
Yes, they are huge fun especially with the sun shining and the roof off. They all sound like no other ordinary car and demand attention as you wind up the revs through town. I drove through our village the other Saturday and I think Bib were having a purge on under age drinkers and they had them lined up outside the pub taking their details, as I passed in the S I let rip in 1st and I have never seen so many heads turn so quickly, both Bib and Chavs! Going through any tunnel is just fantastic, I sometimes turn around and go back again a couple of time ....sad I know but I can't help it.... I can guarantee that I'll turn heads of all ages and sexes wherever I go. The people most likely to look are girls in their early 20's for some strange reason followed by almost any lad under 20 but people upto the age of 70 odd still pivot on a heel and follow the car with their gaze. The S is a rare sight, so I guess it demands attention. The only other car I have ever owned that received as much attention was my Pontiac Fiero (mainly from 10 year olds who thought I was Michael Knight of Knight Rider fame). This was followed closely by the 5ltr V8 Thunderbird in candy apple red with a white landau roof, a bit of a rare car too which received much attention. Probably 'cos I looked like a pimp.
Have you noticed that some boy racers like to tuck up behind you on the dual carriageways. Right foot down and Had a good fun drive with a Honda CRX a few weeks back as we kept overtaking each other on a long stretch of road, great fun! I was faster of course but didn't want to spoil his day too much and it was fun keep zipping around each other for a few miles.
Yesterday (14:20)
Oh, Oh and yes there's another time.... I saw F908Tim parked up near to where I used to live so I turned around a few times and passed by again and I heard a few people saying look there's another one, it was a nice day, roof down exhaust howling and popping etc. And there was this one time, at band camp, when we all sat around .....sorry a quote from american pie, top film (very funny). Where is everyone with their happy S moments?
I'll be quiet now!
