Pictures of my 'Drunk Magnet'...

Pictures really don't do the colour justice!

Reflex Green is a smashing colour for a Tusc IMO

nice looking S you have there, very tasteful add ons too!

Many thanks! It's a shame the purple doesn't really come out in pictures though. Maybe I just need a better camera or more sunshine.

The white balance is a little off in the photos which is why the purples are a little muted.
I was looking at buying a reflex charcoal Tuscan a few years ago and so rarely found an accurate shot of the colour.

Hey Wishy,

Cheers! They're 18" Jade-R alloys with the TVR logo centre piece.

Yep - just spotted that in your profile! Doh!

Do you mind me asked where you got them from and £? roughly

Are they lighter/stronger than the Spiders?

I like them because you can see the brakes and arent too complicated and
still managing to keep the look and feel of the car

Hi Justin

Nice motor!!

I've seen the Reflex Green in real life, you're right, it's much better when you see it in the flesh so to speak.
I noted the wheels also, nice and simple, hope they're as easy to clean as the "spiders"

Mine's going great! Had a few repairs/improvements (new clutch assembly/cylinder, front camshaft bearings, engine tune, ceramic brakes) and plenty of polish. Looking at Headlight conversion kit next from: (http://turborevs.org.uk/H4%20Bixenon%20HID%20Conversion%20kit.htm), also need new mats for the front. Then I'm going to fix all those little things that are working loose!

Brown trousers - I'm up to 3 pairs (2 in the wet!!) Look after the rear screen, although it is designed to be removed, it also does it automatically at 160mph (on a track!)
Rev the engine - plenty, especially chav's who don't know better when it's cold.
Pics / Videos - Yes plenty, especially as it was shown at the PH Performance Car Show (What a great weekend). The best for me was when I took my daughter down to see the Welsh Rally outside Cardiff City Hall. Driving away we had spectators run after us when we were in slow moving traffic, to jump in front and stop us so they could take pictures. My daughter loved it! (so did I).
Drunks - Hmmm, thankfully none!

and women love it.

Bet you have the classic TVR grin all over your face, warning - this doesn't wear off.

Must meet up for a rumble some time - any excuse to get out

Fantastic choice of colour (not biased but se my profile).

If you polish it and photograph it as much as I,then you're bound to get some good shots.

Not sure how much they are as they were already on when I brought the car but The TVR Centre has them in stock. Apparently they're stronger than the Spiders and maybe even a bit lighter. Yeah, they're really nice - simple enough not to look OTT but enough to improve the overall look IMO, plus I like to be able to see discs and calipers!

Hey Art! Cheers - sounds like yours is doing ok too! You're right... can't stop smiling when driving it. Yes, definitely need to catch up. When you next in London?

Cheers,

Very nice! Reflex green ones are definitely the fastest!

My pics were taken on a camera phone... need to buy a new charger for my camera as I've lost it and can't take decent photos now!

Wow, i saw your car in halfords/comet car park yesterday. had to check your brakes out to see if they were the same as mine. I got a 2001 and was told i had upgraded front calipers which are the same as tuscan s, your was the first s i've seen since buying mine and yes there the same . Now i know what pads to order. Love the colour on your car.
Nice weather is on the way.....

Woohoo! First time I've been spotted by a PHer!

I was in Halfords buying spares - I got a foot pump and tyre pressure monitor for £7.99... bargain! Cheers, glad you like it! I haven't seen one other TVR since I got mine. Where is everyone?!

Man, what a nightmare! At least you are okay, that's the main thing.
