My old Tata has resurfaced.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I keep thinking TVR Cerbera as a practical replacement.

Do I need help?

Yes.

Roof.....four seats......equals practical.....

Build quality to rival your average amateur built Robin Hood.

Highly stressed engine designed by a couple of whippet-shaggers in a shed.

Sounds eminently sensible to me.

OK...you've convinced me.

I shall end my driving days with an Astra derv.

Speaking of TVR.

What could possibly go wrong with a 25 year plastic old car built in Blackpool by a workforce 'high' on industrial strength solvent.

If nothing else you'll get to meet new and interesting people. Probably wearing RAC branded fluorescent jackets   

You'd best be on your guard behind the wheel though, hopefully the Jaaag's traction control and nice progressive handling hasn't made you soft

The Macca F1 tipped the scales at around 1100KG and had 627 BHP. Pretty sure it didn't have much in the way of ESP/traction control.

.......which may be why Mr Bean ended up in a ditch.

they're no less reliable than a Boxster, small 911 or M3. But most of the bits are cheaper and easier to fit. And you can use better glue than TVR did on the interior

[Raeturbo]

Mm better...... that could be flour and water 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Do it M'Lud! 

We could do with a laugh these days!

Years back when you could have a tour around the factory I went with a few lads from work. The smell of resin/solvent in workshop where they laid up the GRP was unbelievable ... no idea how they managed a shift in there.

Maybe it was a nice place to work and the daze passed by in a pleasant kind of haze?
