Unhappy Can I bring myself to sell it??

I've had my RB5 now for 3 1/2 years and and got myself into a bit of a dilema.

That being a TVR Tuscan.

The RB5 is now at 350+ bhp easily, and the extra money to buy the tvr I'd just put back into the scoob anyway.

I don't need 4 doors, or a daily driver. I think the scoob is a bit plain but would never change the styling from standard. The tuscan is just amazing though.

I look at the my post in the for sale section and can't help thinking it's a mistake to sell it.

It's almost like cheating with some unreliable good looking tart from blackpool

opinions?

Why not, it would make a change ...... I would suggest everyone should own a TVR at least once in their life.

If you don't need a family saloon, try a sports car!

I would.

Sell it and enjoy the fun of excess rear wheel drive power.
Might be worth having a little hatchback in reserve though as TVR's aren't known for reliability!

Every post on S'net always points back to a Clio 182 Cup!

Its true to say they arent a daily driver. But you have to go along way to find a better weekend car.

Do it. Life's too short to not go for what you want. If you don't get on with it, sell it and get something else.
