Ok - I don't want to suffer too much verbal abuse over this and I just want people's opinions...

I want to buy a TVR and am considering the various models available.
I know that no TVR can really be considered to be a traditional 'girls car'...BUT when I showed pictures to a couple of mates (who don't know much about cars), they thought that the Tamora looked a bit 'girlie!'
The thought that the other models looked much more masculine.
Still a great car, but i don't want to regret it later when I am mistaken for a hairdresser.

Thoughts please...

Depends on colour !! Black is masculine, yellow is a bit "Graham Norton" Joking aside it is a little Efeminate (Big ass, tempremental, expensive, high maintenance)

But worth the ride wink

I think a TVR (Tamora) included is more 'rugby player' than 'hairdresser'. Its a bit gruff with the odd piece hanging off!

Seriously though, I really enjoyed driving my Tamora and if anyone thinks it is in the slightest bit 'girlie' stick them in the passenger seat and floor it!!!

An insultfurious, to even suggest that the Tamora is a "Girly" car and associate it with hairdressing nono.

It's simple TVR = Man's Car (In British Bulldog Spirityes) ................ OK

Dont have a tam, I have t350 but have your mates actually seen one in the flesh? I suspect not.
Wouldnt be the green thing called envy would it? wink
And of course if you did take the plunge they wouldnt like to be seen in it, would they? smile
