Classic TVR piss take...

TVR's plucky Le Mans entry has suffered a serious set-back this week after both T400R racers broke down again, forcing the team to continue testing with a pair of Vauxhall Corsa dealer courtesy cars.
'This is a bit of a bugger,' mumbled a TVR source. 'But we couldn't really carry on testing when both the cars were on fire a bit. Whilst they're back at the dealers we're also getting them to investigate that funny smell, and that stuff that leaks onto your legs in left hand bends. Maybe by the time the race starts we'll also be able to use the wipers without first opening the passenger door, flashing the lights and hooting the horn four times.'
However, concern is growing that the cars won't be repaired in time for the race. 'If these were customer cars it'd take months to get them sorted,' said one TVR mechanic. 'But in this case we're really rushing them through. I reckon they should be done within about seven weeks.'
'If worst comes to worst we could always do the race in the courtesy cars,' burbled TVR's spokesman optimistically. 'One of them is a 1.2 GLS. It's got electric windows,' he continued. 'I've never seen those working before.'

deffo classic! :thumbs:

i did some work experience at TVR for my a-levels and there was a twice daily delivery of blown AJPV8 blocks (their own engines), with conrods that had departed via the sump :eek:

but saying that, once they got them right, they reeeeeeeally moved. i've driven a cerbera 4.5 GT and one of those wedge stylee shaped 350i's - serious lift! not for the faint-hearted once they're wound up tho (much like the 200sx in the wet i suppose!)

"Last year staff at Subaru were shocked to discover that the computer they used to design the wheels for high performance models could do other colours apart from gold. 'That was a relief,' said one insider at the time (not in German). 'They looked shit.' "
