These messages just add to the magic that is TVR. You almost get to know the lad that bolted the bits on and hear their conversations about which pub they were all meeting up in later to spend their wages! Most modern car factories would sack the workforce for introducing a speck of dust or stray hair to the production line, but then TVR's were build by people with roll-ups behind their ears and not robots. Nice one.
