Just got back from a day at Silverstone watching F1 practice, journey home took 1 hour M40 to M25, 4 hours from M40/M25 to Dartford bridge, did the car overheat, become a pig, splutter or generally fu-k up, NO not a single temperature rise or splutter. I think that is pretty amazing, and wanted to share it. :thumbup:

Did you go the wrong way round the M25 or round twice for good measure

You know why that is?

Because you're temperature gauge is obviously broken!

Mine managed to throw the fan belt this afternoon. Boy does it get hot quick without a water pump?

Surely is this not a standard occasion Where nothing fails on the TVR

Mine recently did a 1000 mile trip in very hot and sticky conditions and only broke down the once ! - After 40 miles on the M25, temp fix (hose had rubbed through where bonett opens on it !) and all ok for the rest of journey

I believe that boasting about reliability is tempting fate although i can say that the BBWs i have owned (5 in total) were the most reliable TVRs i have owned, i should also ad that the pre-cat griff was excellent to.
