Mate of mine had one of these. He brought it round to mine the day he bought it, swung onto the drive and stopped an inch from my bumper. I compliment him on knowing the length of his new car so accurately and he went white saying he thought he had two feet to spare!

 

It was a missile and sounded fantastic.

 

And from what I remember you never had to turn the heaters on as so much heat came out of the engine!

Wo hoo!... very nice... you're not too far from me so hopefully see you around sometime.

 

You'll find that, like Corrado's, the TVR crowd is pretty good at waving when you pass,

 

incidentally, a Corrado VR and TVR go very well together, so if you can find a way to hang on to the rado..

Thanks all...

 

Loving it so far... Am trying to wrok out a way of justifying keeping the Corrado as well but not likely at this point...

 

A garage with the TVR on one side and the VR6 Rado on the other does have a certain appeal though.... Maybe now go and get the "daily driver" that started this all of?

Lol, I justified it on the basis that my Corrado is my daily, on the basis that for all its age/mileage etc, I know exactly what has and hasn't been done, and it represents a known quantity, compared to getting rid of it and buying and 'unknown quantity' daily...

 

Anyway, enjoy the ride, and be very careful with it over the next few weeks (see the TVR section on Pistonheads for the latest debates on pranged TVRs in cold weather..)
