What's this all about? TVR on tour??
Discussion
Just had a phone call from my Mum back home 'up North'... saying that tomorrow night young Nickolai is coming to town with "the latest TVR".
Not believing it for a minute, I did some digging - and it seems that TVR are indeed coming to town.
Town though being Barrow-in-Furness, on the North West coast. Not far from Blackpool granted - but why THERE..!?
The TVR dealer in Barrow closed when I was a kid... (Does anyone remember Dave Haughin? Some Wedge owner's likely have one of his modded cars sat outside at the moment. Anyone got a 350 SX with a Sprintex supercharger for example?).
It seems that there's a talk entitled "Building the TVR car" being given by Neil Anderson from the factory tomorrow (17th Nov). The local paper intimates that Nickolai is going to be there too, with "the latest TVR".
???????
Ever since the shipyard dumped circa 7,000 jobs in the late 80's / early 90's there's been no £££££ sloshing about the place - so it's certinly NOT the place to swell Smolenski's order books.
Is this 'event' touring the country then, or has Barrow been singled out for something special?
Completely mystified!

This is the new TVR Atlantic powerboat! The boat will be built in your town. It will be powered by 4 V8 engines.

The talk is definitely entitled "Building the TVR car". If it was to do with the boat, then that does not make sense surely?

It's something that Neill does as a member of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers.
He did one in Essex at the Ford Centre....and bought along a TVR then....Saggy I think....can't remember....getting old!!!
He was interesting, very frank and open about the new changes at TVR.

Russian businessman visits a town not really central to anywhere other than itself. why?
Oh, they do make nuclear subs there!!!!!!!!! Not a spy is he?
I know its stupid but I thought about it last night.

FFG, I don't think our National Security is much at threat.
Do you remember that Canadian submarine that broke down in the Atlantic recently? No prizes for guessing which shipyard she had just left, after years being refitted!
This also being the same shipyard that inadvertently built a banana shaped submarine a few years back.
Apparently the Talk is at the Six form collage in Barrow. 7:30 start.
