FYI - I have a TVR.....again

[Dave..]

20 grand clio is looking more and more like a bad investment.

 

[.Adam.]

Where the f**k do you live/what do you do for a living?

 

[Waitey]

That was when Stephen was funny...

Sadly humour is positively correlated with bannage....

 

[Waitey]

Where the f**k do you live/what do you do for a living?

LOL that's my rents house!

I live in the middle of no where, without a moat....

 

[.Adam.]

Awesome. I now want a house with a moat.

 

[Gally]

LOL that's my rents house!

Gatehouse now iirc..

 

[Silent_Scone]

LOL that's my rents house!

That narrows it down lol



P.s love the car, the thought of owning it brings me to tears just thinking about it but its all good

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

He was funny once?

 

[Gally]

He was funny once?

Once.

I tried to post earlier, I remember Needsters man thread. Some good lols in that thread!

 

[Rob]

Ah Needster, she'd teach the asw's on here a thing or two.

How is something like this to run anyway (money wise)?

 

[Revels]

To do list:

New tyres on rear
Fit new engine mounts
Set the Nitrons to soft
Get the geo set up like my last one
Clean and renew the interior
Refurb NSF wheel.
New wipers
Front end respray

I lie it was cheap.

I should hope so!!

 

[Feirny]

It'll still probably cost you a tank of fuel to drive to work you lazy b*stard.

 

[Ian_182]

Great little toy.

Isnt it time the rents retired and you bought the moat?

 

[Wick]

Haha Waitey you're a hero. A man of sublime taste.

I saw your MK on PH's the other day! I wish I could afford to do 300-400 miles a week in a TVR. I'd have a Chim on the driveway tomorrow

 

[Rob]

Something like this is what I want next. Looks dangerous.

EDIT: Looking at prices, maybe not just yet.

 

[Wick]

How is something like this to run anyway (money wise)?

From what I understand 20-24mpg is not unreasonable to expect but the speed six can drop sub 16mpg when hooning. Servicing is every 6K

Speed Six service prices 6K - £380/12K - £750 on cycle.

Taken from STR8SIX as an example. Then if it needs rebuilding it gets expensive.

Full rebuild to latest spec:

from £4950* + vat.

Blueprinted 4.3 conversions inc new block etc from £10,500.00* + vat.
* Above prices inc removal and installation.


Then you need to stay on top of chassis condition. That said consumables aren't particularly pricey lol

 

[philmots]

I do like a Trev. Mint!

 

[JackJack]

Should of kept the indy.

 

[Waitey]

Once.

I still remember that kids problem thread when I told him to tighten the cleepers lol

Wick is about right. Little jobs add up too. Like this is going in for an engine mount and to have its suspension set up, and that's £300 ish.

This one has already had its clutch done (£700) and some nice shiny Nitron's put on it (£1000).

You will see nearly 30mpg on a run, or about 10 on a good thrash.

Engine rebuilds will hang over you forever too....

 

[Robiniho77]

This is amazing!!

Just looked out of curiosity at a TVR as I'm a big fan..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1994-TVR-...omobiles_UK&hash=item3cc4e5b9f3#ht_500wt_1211

A lot of car for that money!

I love Chim's. V8 goodness.

 

[Englebert]

Saw your post on FB...

Still think they are ugly but no doubt eye catching, and in fairness great VFM. You will get so many jealous looks come the next Summer's day with the roof down; the perfect car for the next few months.

Also credit to you for switching cars so often, lol! Its nice to have the right car at the right time (and mood).

 

[Gally]

One day he'll be a real hero and buy a Sag.

I agree with that, they are the 'ugliest' TVR.

 

[Ian_182]

I concur,you've bought the right car at the right time.Should be a hoot for the next few months.

 

[coxy777]

Think I may have just realised where said "moat" is. Would the RRS happen to be on the drive in street view? With a Maverick behind it and a TT further back?

 

[Waitey]

Aye, thats my old TT.

[JoeyD]

^^ That sounds likely.

 

[coxy777]

lol I've stood on the drive having a crafty fag whilst getting attacked by the swans.

 

[Waitey]

Ah so you are one of the c***s that feeds them lol

 

[Gally]

Lols! Stalkerzzz!

 

[Waitey]

First purchase,

Some 235/40/18 Toyo T1 Sport Assyms for the rear.

 

[coxy777]

Ah so you are one of the c**ts that feeds them lol

No, it's a long (and s**t) story but basically I know someone who lives down the road.

Nice Trevor btw

His mum does a decent bacon butty next time you're around.

 

[*Badger*]

Nice summer bus, similar running costs to the M3. Perfectly justifiable though, going fast and sounding cool costs monies.

 

[Waitey]

Rear tyres on. Got told both front have bulges in them, arse. New fronts ordered too!

 

[Rob]

"Cheap TVR" he says... four new tyres later...

 

[Waitey]

Hahaha crashed the Z again yet?

 

[Rob]

If you mean "has anyone else hit it whilst I wasn't even in it?" yes actually, but it's very minor.
