Just to let you know that the Tamora won today's contest with the Porsche Boxster by 30 votes to 23. (But that may be because the local TVRCC Regions were quicker off the mark than the equivalent Porker ones!)

Good news is that both Tamoras survived the mauling around Bentwaters by assorted hooligans, but both Boxters expired with broken clutches.... some say the TVR folk did it...

Interesting. What was the set up? Did they invite the clubs or how did it work?

How dare you Simpo!!!!

We TVR owners did nothing to assist the Porkys from expiring terribly!! They did it all by themselves!

John, what time did it all wind up?
Glad the Tamora came out on top. Was it me, or was there a total lack of organisation. The production team, didn't seem to know what was happening next.
I left at about 5-30pm. It was interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes, but will somehow look at the program in a different light now.

Hi Ted

I got a call earlier this week from the Drivel production company asking for a few TVR fans to go along to test a TVR against a Boxster. They had a few ideas on what was wanted but it seems none came to light!

whatever

I'm amazed - wasn't it the w*nkers on Drivel that slated the Tamora, and virtually gave it "null points" last time - against the Boxster as well? They took them to a "sports club" in Essex, where, unsurpisingly, a bunch of bottle blondes and overly tanned, false gold jewellery nouveau-riche types all thought the Porsche was best "cos of it's badge, innit!"

When is this landmark proramme due for transmission? I simply must tape it!!
