Best TVR Quote?

[.mark]

I was thinking of in print, but guess you could add ones you've heard or have been said to you.
Here's my starter for 10 and I can't remember where I read it!
"In any gear at any speed, the TVR leaves the opposition in a wall of noise in it's relentless pursuit to head-butt the horizon"

Love that one!

[cockers]

"Who listens to the radio when you've got that eight piece ensemble under the bonnet?"

[DIGGA]

Clarkson on the Speed 12:
"TVR have done the unthinkable - they've fitted wheels to a thunderstorm"

My mate, on his first ride in my Griff 500:
"I now realise that a BMW Z3 is not a sports car at all!" - that was preceded by about 5 mins of near silence, punctuated with the odd expletive.

[patrick]

"Then you turn the ignition key, theres an initial ticking; like a countdown to Armageddon, and then the expletives begin. Nothing can prepare you for the aural onslaught. Loud isn't the word. The TVR is commotion itself"

Review of my car

[graham]

"WHAT the F*CK was that"

most people as i go past them in my decatted chim

[fraser]

Clarkson on the Cerbera:

' It barks all the way to 7000rpm and beyond if you wish...its very very fast, frighteningly fast.If you want to overtake this car you'll need a McLaren, a Diablo an F50 or a pretty fast bike'

How true

[JSG]

Clarkson again, often quoted but his best

"The girl sitting next to the BMW driver is wearing an Alice band while (pause)
well the girl next to the TVR driver, well she not wearing any knickers !!!!"

Cheers,
JSG

Aaahh... summer days....

[yum]

" the SLK is quick, the Boxster quicker still and the Chimaera is in another league altogether. The TVR completely blitzes the opposition in any gear, from any speed to any speed. "


"Whatever happened to mid-range grunt, Porsche? and if you can't find it, ask TVR to lend you some of theirs. They'd hardly notice it was missing...."

Top Gear Magazine March 1997. I bought mine shortly afterwards.......

Quote: Clarkson

"The TVR Cerbera is fast enough to re-arrange your internal organs"

Very true if your a pasenger!

My favourite from Clarkson:

The Cerbera is fast enough to create its own weather...

PLEASE let Clarkson do Top Gear again!!!!

Not from print but my favourite of comments made on my car:

"WOW!!! You have got THE BEST CAR IN THE WORLD!!!"

Yelled across the road with accompanying thumbs up by a youngster.

[Dave_H]

Best quote I think was one made TO Mr Clarkson.

JC took a Griff and drove it across Europe, I think it was for the first series of MotorWorld. A guy came up to him in Switzerland and said "Ah, you have the car that brakes windows" refering to the exhaust

[vindaloo]

Never let any human drive your pride and joy whom bleeds when their not cut!

[Marshy]

Another Clarkson, slightly paraphrased due to me not having the magazine on hand.

"Plant your foot at any speed in any gear, and the TVR just scuttles off in a relentless quest to headbutt the horizon"

- about the Chimeara 500, if memory serves.

(Had the roof of today, tested it out a couple of times, there being plenty of horizon here in Cambridgeshire. Yep, seems to work.... )

[flasher]

Here's a couple of my favourites, the second one not about TVR's but very good anyway:-

"and here we have the TVR Cerbera, a car so fast it creates it's own weather!!!" J. Clarkson.

Performance Car Mag:-
" If the Westfield 1800 is "bloody hell this is quick" then the SEight is "Oh My God we are going to die"!!"

[nubbin]

A biker stopped next to me at a filling station, and said, after drooling over the Chimaera, "I've never owned a car, but if I did, your's is the one I'd buy!"

[HAZY]

Not the best as such, but often used by TVR service managers....

"We shall have to send your Speed Six back to Blackpool for (snigger) a couple of weeks....."

[SEL4.5]

Last time I had the top down I was stuck in traffic and a biker moved up alongside the drivers door, leaned over and said "you have got a bloody nice looking car there mate" ! not the sort of comment you get in a BMW or Porsche !
