How come ........

[mk1fan]

.................. every time I drive Samy or Tamy I [actually] say "I love this car!!!!!!!"

Despite the fact that Tamy is running like a bag of nails and Samy's door decided to become 'flappy' last night.

TVR, it's a life choice.

They have a lot of character
thats why, And that nice warm feeling when you get there without breaking down

[phillpot]

You could always have stuck with VAG

Truth be told I love the Black Box too. Swallows the bikes, kit and people with ease. Hustles aong far too quickly for a people carrier and still returns high 40's mpg.



Roll on the wwekend. Fuel filter to change, door hinges to tighten and the stereo to remove.

Yaaaaa, who needs a stereo anyway, 2 and a half years and still not got round to fitting one. !!

How come I love my S?
For me, it's all about the sound, the sensation, & that massive silly grin factor
And you don't even need to go fast to enjoy the feelings

Whilst driving Austin a month or so into my ownership, I heard strange barely discernable noises & I was slightly worried until I realised it was the stereo that had somehow switched on.
A bonus for traffic hold-ups I suppose.

Whilst on the move, I just love listening to that beautiful soundtrack from the exhausts

I've got a Dire Straits cassette tape ( very 80's ! ) in the car in case of breakdown.
And Chris Rea's " Road to Hell" for if I ever venture onto the M25.

It's a shame the two acts never got together, 'Chris Straits' would be a brilliant name for the resulting group.
( That last bit was plundered from the Sean Connery Joke Thread over in The Lounge. )

Stewart, I'm also a great fan.

But I'm just living in a world of fantasy

ETA: Boy, I'm really on fire today.

I could be a GT3

I use Meatloaf Bat Out Of Hell for background amusement. You should try Jim Steinman's Love and Death and an American Guitar as to my mind he must be/have been an S owner with that mentality

I was just switching the other names around until I realised

TVR ownership is one of the great joys of life

That old joke just runs and runs

Ain't no stopping us now.... we're on the move.....

There ain't no Cure we got it too bad !!
If and when I do fit a radiogram thingy in the S I will have to have Rolling Stones or The Eagles .
