Sound great at junctions... sounds more amazing in a tunnel. !!!!

I hope they sort this out for you brian.

Mine is booked in for a service next weekend at brindley's....

Im gonna ask about mugen parts while im there. I heard a rumour that honda dealers may start to fit mugen parts as extras.
Which means no more void warranty's.

That's exactly why I relectantly crossed TVR off my shortlist (especially as my nearest dealer is 50 miles away)

At least you chaps in the UK get to see a TVR in action once and a while. Here in the home of the truly brave there is pretty much no chance of official channels ever bringing the mark to market. I am tremendous fan of TVR and their products. I purchase all the major UK automotive periodicals on a monthly basis and I am absolutely in love with the Tuscan S. 390bhp four liter six! Must be intense. Most people I show the pics in the mags to think the Tuscan is God awful ugly and that is what I love about it. I am able to find beauty in something someone else cannot. Just like art. Count your blessings boys, you are in the epicenter of the automotive world.

I wonder if TVR could sell in the US again. I'm sure Travolta driving one in Swordfish didn't hurt the public image of TVR in the US!

Things are getting a bit transatlantic again - I must say I loved hearing the CART cars going round Rockingham!

Just walked past a black Tuscan stuck in traffic 1hr ago `

Also the guy from TVR who took me for a ride in the Tamora said they were into the (long) process of getting US homologation.
