Autocar have been doing a British motoring company feature in the mag everyweek, next week its TVRs turn.

It must be Autocar.. the people who write Auotexpress can't spell TVR

Having said that the monkeys at Autocar are only one step further up the evolutionary ladder... especially that Chris Harris bloke: slang, jargon, bad grammar- he writes like a 15 year old.

BTW-I won a subscription... there's no way I'd buy it.

It's Autocar and the series is written by Steve Cropley who is IMO a rather readable and well informed motoring journalist. Rich...

yes, I also think Steve Cropley is a good writer and I am looking forward to a pro-TVR article...

i agree with comments about Steve Cropley, but I think Chris Harris is superb!

he does seem to "borrow" a few ideas/phrases from the late, great Russell Bulgin but hey, if you're going to steal, steal from the best!

should be a good article, Cropley seems to be a fan of "proper" cars and rarely (if ever) pre-judges them.

Oh dear!.... but then you are only just out of your teens.

Bulgin was good, but LJK Setright (Car magazine) was better.
