Pete Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 That chassis was pretty bad. They're just elaborate kitcars at the end of the day. Should've seen the junk I had to clean up from the donor vehicle parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Good stuff! Never seen an exhaust manifold like that before, didn't think it was possible removing the chassis. Why don't they build them properly in the first place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 wow I shall pass that on to the old man, I'm sure he'll love that for a nice weekend job lol. That chassis looked pretty bad are the older ones normaly like that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 I thought you meant you had a TVR previously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I thought you meant you had a TVR previously... Eww no. The new ones look pretty cool, but I'd sooner build my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Lol- I'm still waiting for them to get it right before buying one- the Griff has no roll-over protection nor side impact protection of any kind (imagine the results of the Cheifgroover T-bone on that Griff!), and the Tamora has the Speed 6, which is made of chocolate.

Pete Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 A guy died just up the road after loosing control of his tvr. From what I could tell he would've walked away if it was a Supra. More than 100 people and their cars joined forces to celebrate the life of a car enthusiast who died after he smashed into metal barriers at a Telford roundabout. Thifty-four-year-old Jason Bennet, known as Jay and who came from Birmingham, died on Thursday night when his TVR Cerbera car collided with barriers around the interchance off junction six of the M54. Jay who regularly travelled to Telford to see his girlfriend, was a sales manager for a communications company. But in his spare time Jay was part owner of KroozMidz.com, a group of car entusiasts with more than 4000 members. And about 150 friends and fellow car lovers descended at Telford Services, near Shifnal last night to remember their "genuine" friend. I'm informed he was "racing" someone.

I'm informed he was "racing" someone. To be fair, if you are going to stack a TVR, then you'd want to be in a Cerbera or T350C as they have built in roll protection and side impact- the T350 has a full on cage, as does the Sagaris, pretty certain the Cerb has a cage, but don't quote me on it.
