Been looking at various motors recently. Quite fancy a change. Maybe a TVR or something a bit more 'hardcore'. Anyone have any opinions on TVR's or other suitable aternatives?

I'd suggest you buy a proper car - by which I mean a Ferrari, naturally, although I very much doubt you'd ever aspire to such a car.

Ooh and poor show, you guys not turning up at North Weald yesterday

If you're thinking TVR, buy a higher mileage Griff or Chim. In fact, if you can find a clean, 40k mile, one owner Griff 500 you'll be laughing.

Alternatively, think Noble M12 GTO 3(R), Ultima GTR, 993 RS, 996 GT3, depends what you fancy and how you're going to use it, right?

Yes, you and 911Nutter are becoming pop-up clowns, posting idiotic comments purely to antagonise and wind people up. If they were funny comments, then fine. But they aren't and I doubt ever will be...

Fulham get a life. Do you have to keep harassing people? First Angelis, now me? I came on here to ask a serious question. Ps still no picture of YOUR car in your profile - i would suggest your existence is the one that should be questionable.

Chopping a 996 in for a Tiv?

They are such utterly different cars. I, despite loving Tivs and owning one, reckon you'd be making a mistake.

So what, though. You only live once! They are goood fun!

If it's any help, we have come from a Boxster via a BMW M3 to a new Tamora. We have owned it for roughly a month (completing 1,600 miles) and we are delighted with the experience.

Yes it had to have some warranty work done in addition to the 1K Service, but the car was turned around within the allocated 2 days (2 days as they set the tappets when the car is cold).

On our experience to date we would recommend a TVR and plan to have another one in 18 -24 mths time (Approx 30K miles).
