[Yarisboy]

I love it when the BBC rearrange things u want to watch.

tuned in just now to start watching topgear, only to find it was just finishing. This sunday is now officially crap. :censor:

[dave5282]

It had to happen,

Today is CRAP DAY

(you shouldnt have said that topgear made sundays good, it had to haunt you!)

LMFAO, I saw your other post around 19:30 and switched over so I didnt miss the start, and low and behold it was half way through. Not a bad second half. Especially getting 3 of the worlds cleverist people to do burnouts in a 300zx

[Fidgits]

Well, incase you missed it, here is a run down (i luckily noticed)

1st, Porsche Cayenne. Great road car, fantastic offroader, ugly, only bought by footballers wives (BTW, these are all their comments)

2nd, Merc/Mclaren Supercar.. fantastic, really quick, etc etc, let down by plastic interior!

3rd, MG XSV, silly fast car, badly built, too expensive etc...

4th, burnout thing mentioned above.

5th, Best british car, Noble vs Morgan vs Rover 75..

Thats about it really...

[chrisfitton]

I missed it aswell just got last min or so, thought oo must have started 5 mins earlier but noooo it bloomin finished then

[jaxx]

and that mg with something like 400bhp incresed to 1000bhp with NOS

600bhp!!! in............(rant)

sitck as many MG badges on as ya want its still a ROVER!!!!!!

(de rant)

i dont think so

[Fidgits]

Yeah, I dont think they showed a single car there i would buy...

As for the best british car, it would have to be TVR Tuscan for me...

If only i could afford one (and didnt need a backseat!)

[jaxx]

personally im really indecisive about TVRs

kinda one of them who wouldnt own it but dont hate em sort of thing

been in a griffith and a cerbera

vaugly impressed with the performance. nothin special as far as im concerned.

the looks are nice specially with tuscan although sleek sports cars aint my cup'o'tea - much prefere more brutal looking things like the skylines

and the reliability issues! the newer cars are a lot better these days but the older ones were cack. the cerbera had its ecu or whatever it was (some sort of electronic box of gubbins) just sort of chucked under the passeneger seat and proceeded to rattle and bounce all over the place!

[Yarisboy]

jaxx jaxx, jaxx!! what are u thinking m8??

a TVR is the very epitomy of masculinity!!! only a real man's man should own a TVR

It's a very raw driving experience, the one I went in (chimera) was still wheel spinning in 4th

I could think of better things to spend 60k on though :o :bookworm:

They always look cheaply made to me... anything that's older than 2 years just seems to fall apart in my experience

Agreed that the Tuscan is a gorgeous brit car though

[Fidgits]

I dunno, doubt i'll ever buy one, i just love the 'british beef' image they have, they look great, and sound awesome!

[Matthew_McNally]

my next car will either be a GS430 or a TVR ( Tamora )

depends on whether she learns to drive or not.

[Karma Supra]

I'd have a noble ;)

merx SLR would make a nice daily "practical" car for when I'm minted can't deny it looks good ;)

[FineCactus]

I missed it in full! :ffs:

Pain in the :censor:

The tamora's nice, but the Tuscan is only a few grand more, and I'd have to have the Tuscan out of the two..

[Matthew_McNally]

we're talking hypothetically right now Ian - I haven't driven either of them.

The Tuscan does indeed look nicer, but have heard some horror stories about the build quality, which are supposed to have been addressed in the newer models.

When the time comes - I'll drive both - just to check.

[Fidgits]

Yeah, hypothecically....

I used to go to college 1/4 mile from the TVR factory, back in the days when they built the Griffith (and as they released the Cerbera)...

If I was to actually consider buying any TVR, it would have to be the Cerbera, basically because I need a rear seat for 2% of the time for work... But as you say Matt, I'd ensure I test drove every single model just to make sure I got the right one ;)

even better mate - try the bladdy lot!

BTW?

is this the dictionary defintion of OFF TOPIC?

Two Lexus owners, discussing TVR's on a Toyota forum, in a thread about a TV show?

:D

[Nicola]

I caught the last 10 mins (yes I thought it would be on at 8pm too)

Sounds like I missed a good show (which is rare for Top Gear).

Wish they would repeat them.

:D

Well, in a way, it is on topic, as they discussed which is the best british car on said TV program.. or am I just searching for an excuse?? :arrgg-matey:

[dave5282]

Thinx we should all, without saying out to the topGear ticket peeps get tickets to go and be there for the filming, could be quite amusing when the penny drops that the car park is full of toyota's and evry question gets answered in a Toyota fan styley? ;)

[Nicola]

I have been trying to get tickets for the show for months :(

Car park full of Toyotas would make a change from it being full of scoobies.

I guess there is a long waiting list (unless you pay/register with the ticket site)

Lets invade

[dave5282]

I'm game, anyone else?

[nws25]

Yep, someone orgainse this, but wait till i get me car back from the tuners
