So thats wot other forum user's think!
Discussion
Just noseing around the porsche forum as you do and i have to laugh at some of those guy's, there was a severe case of handbag throwing the other week when a guy posted some very smart pics of his lambo and porsche, only to be abused about his house being on a council estate 
but this takes the biscuit.......... quote. " Just get over to the TVR section - you'll soon see how bad it can be...........
Bonnets flying off, exhausts going missing, the dash board glue has given up, can't wind up the window.....
The list is endless.
Stay over here and feel that nice green grass between your toes."
How i laugh.

Cant say I'd want A Porsche/Ferrari. Too big and would feel a t
t driving one. Unless it was a Dino 
Would love a Gallardo, but would you really get that much more fun over a TVR for all that money? Besides, I enjoy being able to work on my car. Would hate to have a car that HAS to go to a specialist every time it threw a barney..

... been around here for 4 years and I've read about all of these things... makes ownership of TVR fun I suppose, and I for one ain't for changing. It just made me chuckle, i find the hole urban myth thing queit funny, it is true, all these things do happen, but before you no it every models faults are lumped onto one car, i remember a short trip i had the other day, unfortunately my bonnet flew open, while simultaneously trying to hold my roof from flying off the door flew open, un-be-known to me the exhaust had fallen off 2 mile down the road then bugger me the engine blew, ahhhhhh! its all about character

Sorry! But that is very funny! Having had a bad year myself the only way forward is to laugh it off!!mak said:

All you need is a revolving bow-tie and a bulb horn that goes 'Parp Parp' and you could join a circus! 
I've had 2 Porsches. OK so they were 4 cyl and front engined but I now have a 4.0ltr Chim and have to say that although the Porkers were nice to drive they never really put a smile on my face, even on the run to Le Mans and back. The TVR on the other hand...... always but always does, even down to the shop for a loaf and a pint of milk. That's got to be worth any trivial aggro you may suffer, I know it's a phrase that's way over used but it's called CHARACTER!
Well said, locodude!
I have a failry new Corvette and it has all the creature comforts, 2-million-way power seats, LCD readout for everything except sphincter temperature, power this and power that .. it is faster and about as quick off the line as the Chim but it's the raw, blood-and-guts of the Chim that gets the hair standing up every time ..

A couple of us went all the way to Scotland in our Chims this Aug Bank hols, drove over 2000 miles in 5 days and had no probs. On the way up we say a porsche broken down at the side of the motorway and another one on the back of a breakdown lorry when we were going over to the Isle of Mull so even they aren't infalable.
By the way we had a blast, do it again anytime.
