Remember a while back (mid 90's) when I used to see a lot of TVRs on the road. Hardly see any these days, think they went out of fashion and didn't evolve.
Reliability has always been a problem which couldn't have helped.

They did this last year too, then re rook on 2/3 of those that were removed. Basically when order numbers are low they can't pay all the staff so lay them off, then take them back on as things pick up.

Pretty poor way of doing things, especially the "letter whilst you're on holiday" thing, but it doesn't mean TVR are going under, just that at the present time there are less orders. Just like last year before it picked up.

I have been and still drive my TVR Griffith daily for the last 2 years. In fact I was supposed to sell it when I bought my MK Indy but didn't get round to it yet

According to my dad (who works at RR), Rolls-royce in Derby used to do that, then Toyota set up shop down the road, and everyone they laid off got jobs with Toyota and wouldn't come back.

Why do I wanna see more pics of her?

Coz I wanna stick it in her!

Nah - just interested to see if the facework is as good as the bodywork - often God is a cruel master and ruins a delightful face with bad bodywork or vice-versa

Plus it'll keep the current 'girl' on her toes

Honesty is the best policy

Seriously the more direct and cheeky you are to women, the more they like ya!

It's weird but true - so I'm making hay whilst the sun shines

Not sure, did a google video search for jiggling boobs or something, found her, shrunk and looped it into a .GIF

Was a bit of an LRF* if I remember correctly, but those boobs were too good not to use
