No longer built by pikeys. Can't be a bad thing!Serving religion with the contempt it deserves...Comment

They should have stuck to V8's. It's the AJP 6 problems that did for them. IIRC something like 70% of Tuscans built before 2002 have had engine rebuilds, most of them done by the factory for free. Shame - as the AJP 8 especially the 4.5 is a monster engine....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Many months ago I predicted they would move to Eastern Europe like Noble.
I just hope if I have to get any work done on my speed 6 engine that it doesn't have to be shipped out to Poland or something. That'll be a little inconvenient.
I think TVRCraft (UK indy) can now do engine work.
They'll probably try and keep the British marque by having an old lady sitting in a shed stitching the TVR labels into the steering wheel or something in Blackpool.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

I don't blame them. Can you imagine running a manufacturing plant here with all the legislation, corp taxes, HR, H&S, unions and dumb arsed employees?Comment

They need to repair their bad reliability myth and improve their customer relations while they're at it.
I feel sorry for some of the chaps their that will lose their jobs. It was very much a "man and boy" business with sons following their fathers. Not sure "dumb arsed" should be applied to them though!
If you wanted someone to build your car you would chose these chaps rather than some baseball cap wearing, KFC chomping, knuckle-dragging grease monkey that couldn't give a sh1t...Last edited by hyperD; 18 October 2006, 15:40.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment
