Absolutely !! That sounded like a weekend break with the Benny Hill gang !!!!

The calm before the storm as 7 realise they have to fight for the 4 seats in the Repmobile, or walk home.

What a terrible story, I'm amazed at their "pluckyness" about the whole thing.

NS still seems to have a long way to go to get the reliability fixed which is a shame, but then in fairness he's having to cope with the Wheeler years where quality wasn't even in his vocab.

I would like to say that I'm surprised but I'm not.

Not even a 3 year warranty will entice me back to TVR.

Time and time again I hear of fundamental things going wrong with them, items which I would consider to be a danger to the passengers and other road users.

Convoyed down and back with mate in Griff 500 and it never missed a beat - even in the sweltering heat around Paris. So at least one TVR works.
Met up with 4 other guys in a V8 Masser -should have only been 2 in the car, but Aston Martin DB7 Vantage dropped it's power steering fluid over the black stuff and had to be trailered back to the UK. Sh*t happens - even to good cars.

Their trip was from hell, and it seemed more than coincidental that so much went wrong.
