My ride in a TVR Tuscan S *edit* with story

Actually, especially for a brit, I can't really see any better way to spend your money! TVRs rock seriously! And they are much cooler than the more "common sense" choices!!
You are a lucky bastard!!

^ yeah great cars.
My dad had a TVR S2 as his last company car before he retired (he was single at the time). I was insured as I am related to him, but he never let me drive it. I was only 17 mind you!
I think it was a 2.9 V6 (Ford engine)
I mean I couldnt do that much damage with only the Ford V6 under the hood could I ?

Ha, till you try living with one TT.
I had a ride in a cerbera, after being let in by the driver as the passenger door opening button was broken. Then bumpstarting it cus the starter motor was having a day off. And then IMO it sounded like a bag of nails, it was to be serviced soon after that and sounded well off.
The new sixes are different i've heard (more reliable) but to me TVR build quality will always err on poor the side of average.
Good fun cars though, undoubtably just with them being so 'bang for buck' fast then the cash had to be saved somewhere. (R&D!!)

Yes I heard many complaints about reliability, but don't think Ferraris and Lambos are THAT reliable especially if we look back a generation or two
That's what a supercar is supposed to be too if you don't want to live with it, you usually buy an SL55
