    I'm pretty confident it will all straighten out. I'd never expect their whole range to just disappear and change.

    Sagaris, Tuscan, and Typhoon. That's what they are planning on. The Typhoon will be way to expensive and have things a TVR should never have. They'll all be built in Italy. No TVR > Italian TVR.

    I second that. how hard is it for the british to keep tradition in the car industry. the foreigners are ruining football. they're ruining the great british car industry. theyre taking our jobs. theyre hiding under our export lorries. they're overwhelming our real ale industry. they're ruining everything!

    Should've gone with the TVR.
    i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.

    hmm. if i'm not mistaken, most of america's 'pride and joy' cars are based upon designs that are over 30 years old
