if you get the tvr bring it round mine and take me for a blast.. i'd love one.

just out of interest was it a real handful to drive? my missus head so many rumours when we were looking she ceased all TVR interest, wouldn't let me near one.. she drives the S2 (I mean poses in).... she says she wouldnt like a TVR, tough gear change, really wild back end.. any of this true?

all good signs but when she has a say its bad.

I'm a 1st time owner and am chuffed with my '04. Didn't want/take a test drive in anything else. Always wanted an S ! Still as happy, 3 months into ownership!

I'm going for a fairly subtle colour by TVR standards, wildfire red, but with nice dark alloys.

SubaruS2000 is selling his Tam, as his missus has found it too much - and from getting Heidi to join me on a test drive yesterday, I can well imagine myself in the same position in a years time

But from reading sideshowbob's review of a Tuscan, I think the Tamora and T350 are much easier cars by the sound of it - clutch not bad at all, gearchange not as easy as S2k by any means, but not bad. And all mags say the chassis developments make them much easier cars to live with, more compact as well.

Heidi found the most disconcerting thing that the front end is very lively, steering v direct, you are constantly adjusting. When overtaking, she felt a lot more nervous in passenger seat. I may just have to buy her some nice ear-plugs and blinkers
