Was it you in Warrington(Carplanet) looking at a Spec C blobeye
this afternoon,did you get the deal you wanted,ace car by the
way sounded great when you past us on our bikes(trying to
get fit)
Great talking to you!!

 

sounds like im not the only EX tvr owner to swap to a spec'c'.... great choice....

 

This bloke we were talking to had two previous impreza's and had
the TVR for a week and said it was hard to drive and not as fast
as his last Scooby STI8(333) on his favorite road, always knew
Scoobys were that good.
I also experimented with TVR owner ship but that ended after
pushing a Griffith 500 back too the garage after a test drive

 

Good talking to you mate ,sorry didn't see you when i went past ,not sorted yet going to ring again on monday ,need to get back in a scooby, week aways to long !!!lol

 

cerberas a great car to look at ,fab interior,but in real world a scooby will wipe the floor with it

 

but in real world a scooby will wipe the floor with it[/QUOTE]Could read that
quote all day.Great talking to you again,if you need help with Carplanet
send us a message,we live just down the road
Cheers!!!

 

Got to be careful requesting 'massage's on here !!!!!!!!!

 

Had a blast/drive of a TVR Sagaris a couple of weeks ago, and I`d swear it`s no quicker than my STi PPP down my favourite roads, if as quick at all.

I know that might sound like crap, but I`m just calling it as I see it.

I really think the Scoobs are that good.

 

Sorry, Lusty Linda must try harder
Been out in your freshly painted car yet Woody

 

You bitch !!!!!!!!

 

I went from a 94WRX to a 99 4.2 Cerbra and now back to a scooby a 22B tho but i agree the scooby is a much easier car to throw around the TVR its one to bite back when you least exspect it, but in a stright line f*ck me it was fast on the clock i had 171mph out of 4th gear i never found out what 5 done lol

 

Why did you swap back to the scooby

 

well i bought a house so i didnt want any big repair bills etc come in with the TVR at first so i thought i would get something reliable a civic type-r + that was what the X misses wanted, but i split with her and got myself another toy i was in two minds about getting a Tuson or the 22B, but after alot of thought i went for the 22B for praticality side of things and a bit more reliability,

 

You made the right choice

 

What I like is the sprint acceleration of the Scooby in moderate safety. Much more practical than 171mph in 4th !!!! I think TVR's are some of the best looking (and sounding) cars on the road, but heard of and seen too many broke down. What hit home for me was seeing one on the way back from Le Mans last year with its own support vehicle (van) !!!!! You just ouldn't consider a support vehicle for a Jap car.

spec c on it's way this weekend all being well ,not the one from c planet one from just sports ,went for rarer white and fact it is mapped for 98 ron claimed to be running 350 bhp plus ,certainly felt quicker than my bugeye 333 which was hardly slow !!lol

 

Nice one Ninjacost!!,Sounds the safest bet,will they be undersealing it , looked very bare underneath.Let us know how you get on with it and put some pic's on,like to see it.
Cheers.
ps mine and woody1 scooby's(if you see us!!)

Bugger - I drove that on Saturday at the LADS Rolling Road Day ! I was tempted until the wife found out the price .

It belongs to Prosport and has been remapped by Richard Bulmer - felt smooth & powerful - nice choice

 

nice cars mate,look well looked after ,asked just sports to get it undersealed so hopefully have some protection,got hold of boot trim as well feel some protection is required for sides especially ,worried about the weight though ! lol

 

Hi mate ,liked it a lot especially turbo kicking in earlier than my sti 333 and the fact it went where you pointed it ,not that the sti was bad but spec c felt a lot sharper.

 

The car was cold, so I didn't floor it enough to be subjective.
Power seemed to kick in nice & low as you mentioned, the only downside I could see was my bank balance

 

thanks for being kind to it lol

 

No worries - bring it to your next local meet.

Details are on www.ladsoc.co.uk

I'll be there - along with 40 others
Its our anniversary meet, so should be a good turn out
