Dude, as much as I love 'em, they're hardly the most reliable transport. Best join a recovery firm if'n ya get one A friend had two Griffiths before he went back to a BMW M3. Must admit you can't beat the growl from them though

I'd suggest that the business plan that was used to justify the openeing of a new branch got eaten by their dog or something. I really hope they don't go under either - I gave myself a target of 10 years to own a TVR in; that was 3 years ago.

The Racing Green TVR dealer is around the corner from where I live, despite popping in three or so times, leaving my card twice, they never ever got back to me "Sir, we have a lovely cerbera 4.2 in yellow - fancy a go?" Now call me a bluff old traditionalist, but punters that wander around your showroom admiring cars are probably the ones that will buy them - I must look poor.

hoodlum, where are you? put it in your profile so we know

My thoughts exactly IF I ever won the lottery I'd go to a dealers in my scruffs and see how they treat me

I had the privilidge to be able to afford to run a couple of Maseratis a few years back (now stopped as I have a wife and accidental twins) and i wandered into the Maranello concessionaire (ferrari/maser/Bentley) dealership in Northern Ireland dressed in scruffs, was met by a nice chap in a suit, who didn't give two hoots that I looked like I'd come to his showroom via the hedge backwards.

Funnily enough, I ended up buying two cars off him (about 100K spent total) whereas the Porsche garage next door were complete dismissive *****s. I used to like going back to the garage to browse, but making sure they knew i'd not be buying from them ever......

Just saw on the news... 70 workers "temporarily" laid off

The sound was off so I don't know details...

Unfortunately it is true I've just got off the phone with my mate whos the guy desgining the 3 new cars and they are laying off a large section of the production line but he's safe and ive seen the new cars and they look really cool and will be worth a view when they get unveiled.

It said on the news at dinnertime that they will be totally shut in 6 month's.
