Err ok you wanna hear my mates opinion?
Well he nearly died a year ago (actually it was a ago year on tuesday gone) in one of your nostalgic and british spirited fantastic cars (Cerbera)! He hit a patch of diesel on the road which caused the back end to swing round like a pendulum due to bad weight distribution, he hit a lampost. On impact the pedal box (from a 1980s designed ford sierra) collasped through his feet and due to the weak fibreglass shell the door (one of the few metal bits on the car) crushed both his legs. He lost 8 pints of blood in one day, 4 at the scene and 4 during the 3 operations he had the first day, he spent 4 months in hospital (including xmas) not being able to walk and I think he lost count at about 20 operations while they tried to save his leg, eventually two days before xmas last year he had the agonising decision to make of having a lifeless limb (his right leg) attached or having it amputated, he made the choice to have it amputated as the doctors advised that hed have a better life with a false leg. He is still to this day having treatment and physio to get himself up and about with no pain (altho the docs think getting rid of all pain altogether wont happen). So considering a couple of days before the accident we went up to the dealer near ipswich and test drove a Tuscan with a view to replacing the Cerbera, do you think he went through with it and would buy/brought another one?
Id been out it it numerous times before the accident, it was rattley, smelly (burning fibreglass is a horrible smell) and reminded me of the Ginetta I built for a f**k load less than a TVR costs. Its reliability was worse that any Renault Ive ever hear of, it spent more time in the garage than on the road!
hanmade engine? (err most of them are rover engines!)
TVR dont make me laugh, cant touch a list of other supercars if you want to put them in that catagory, I however put them in the glorified kit car catagory and not as good as a few kits Ive seen! And a Evo is not a supercar! Give me a 911 anyday and yes Ive been in both so can comment.
,which rather ammused me
