One car you can enjoy driving :driving: and one you car you can get in and drive. :D :thumbsup:

Never forget setting off from the ferry with a group of Trevor's on the way to Nurburgring. Then watching them break down, one by one, before we arrived. Ironically I was driving a Fix It Again Tomorrow. :oops:

Luckily enough I’ve not had any real mechanical issues at all with the TVR.
It’s starting to show it’s age now though at 22 years old.. the 35i keeps up with it, without even trying.

There’s no substitute for the epic sound it makes though !

You’re right about the sound. You could sit and listen to it all day! 😀 I sold mine a couple of months ago and still miss it. TVR’s have a poor reputation but most have been sorted by now and I had no trouble with mine over the 6 years I owned it.

Oh they do make a nice sound. :thumbsup: First one I drove was in the pi%%ing down rain. But all I can remember is driving it sideways listening to that engine sing. :thumbsup:
