I think that is horrible, too fast and furious for me.

I much prefer the standard looking Cerbera, now that is a fantastic looking car. 8)

Both my mates have TVR's, or 4x4's as I call them (always off road), I don't really like them, suppose the fact I can't fit in one doesn't help I suppose.

:roll: it's up for sale again...

I saw this car and took pics a the Gran Turismo 4 launch

It's a curiosity, but pretty much undrivable. I remember checking out the profile of the rear wheels and the tyres are something really mundane like 335's. It lights up the tyres in every gear except 5th, basically.

I'm sure the wheel nuts are pretty boring too. Get a life.

I don't get what you mean by 'mundane', up until a couple of years ago, 335 was the widest you could get for road tyres on large diameter wheels.

Even Peter Wheeler admitted though that the car was overpowered and basically horrible to drive.

Let's face it TVR weren't shy of making mad cars so when the boss-man decides not to continue development and pull the plug on the project you've got to respect his judgement. He did say it was fun in a very scary way though. :lol:
