He [TVR director Keith Jones] said that production had not been affected by the walkout.

Does that mean they weren't doing anything anyway?

Got it straight from M15 who found it during an investigation into 'WMD's', in this case thay've admitted getting it wrong as in BP it means 'Workers Momentarily Departed'!

Well, lets see now, ah yes, because it "happened" and may be of interest to open minded people, like yourself of course

Still awaiting the first test session, mid feb seems to be the time scale, so we must sit and wait.

Sorry you didn't get your sponsors for Tuscans, never mind, try again for 2005

Just be careful next time you complain about your service at Bristol Avenue.......

[Wacky Racer]

Simple Solution.....

Increase the list price of every new TVR by 7.5%, pay this to the workers, everybody's happy

TVR owners have too much money anyway....

[pistolar]

A happy motivated work force earns money.

PAY UP YOU CHEAP SKATES

220 Rodders!!!!!!

Shame on you......

Just because you no longer support TVR, rest assured that the majority on this forum DO...and the news you so kindly pointed out is not good news to us as TVR supporters!!!

So....... go adopt the 'nose in the corner' position'...


You old rogue

I strongly object to the "old" bit, I mean, how many of the young drivers had the strength,(one hand driving) and mind set to be able to wave at your lot coming out of Druids at full whack, whilst dealing with massive understeer and no 5 up my rear, I'm not old, just nicely matured

Hay, it could have been worse, I could have posted on General Gassing

Understeer? I'd say it was just as well. You were on the straight!

Numerically challenged too! It was No 6, not No 5

Did the Blower's boys find your wets by the way?

[toppstuff]

On a serious note, and as someone who really wants TVR to prosper and grow, is this industrial action something to worry about?

Is there a problem with motivation and relations in Blackpool?

Hope not, every car nut wants to see a successful TVR after all. But strike action at a time when new models are being developed and people are nervous over quality issues does'nt exactly generate confidence does it?

Can someone in the know tell us that everything will be alright?

I thought no 5 was doing well to keep up with me, I'm even more suprised to find out that it was you no 6, being the whippersnapper of the 2003 season, still it makes sence, you're young, talented and eager to keep up with those you can learn from

Yeah, found the tyres, stacked in a corner with "property of no 6 " chalked all over them, cheeky bugger!!!!!

Well, one does one's best....

Anyway, do you and the missus want to come over for dinner some time in the next few weeks? Before it all kicks off again


P.S. TVR have already booked the 2004 end of season party, for Nov 04. I don't think they could handle another session with all those toys coming out of the pram if it was in January again!

Good grief....thought you were talking about nappies there for a minute.....

Mind you....quite right....it did take a bit of stick to wave at us just after the bend.....caused great merriment and entertainment....

Abject apologies for the 'old' bit....however...given the wooden spoon element.....I'll still stick with the 'rogue' !!
