I'd love to see that again; unfortunately it hasn't been repeated on terrestrial TV and I'm wondering why - after all it was a very good programme (the whole series).

Yeah, that was also another point I was trying to get across. It's like me buying a tiger and then complaining that it tries to bite me and costs more to keep than a domestic cat - ridiculous.

You say Tom's words came from the toolbox, then you quote Clarkson? Lmao! Nice one.

Thanks, and yes: I'm serious. If there's one material thing I want in life, besides the house it's a TVR. I realise the gravity of what I'm saying but consider that a Cerbera now costs as little as an Astra - the same will probably happen with the Tuscan, and that timing should coincide with a period in my life where I do have the finances to "go for it".

Yeah. I put mine in first if it's facing uphill and reverse if facing downhill. Although no-one else drives my car, my parents do have to move it around on the driveway from time to time - but they do the same as me so it's no problem. The only time when I don't leave my car in gear is if I take it to the dealership (wouldn't want them having any (more) accidents now, would we?) and whenever I go to drive a car, I ALWAYS check (sometimes more than once) whether it's in neutral or not and always step on both brake and clutch when starting the engine regardless.

OK...to clarify:

I currently drive a Citroen C4 Coupe (which is the only car I own), and in the future hope to be able to afford a TVR Tuscan S.
