Lol, you're looking a little green there. Enjoy your deathtrap..
The TVR, whilst looking and sounding fantastic, was a practicality nightmare. On this godforsaken island which we live, we are only graced with a period of 4 months in which you can realistically enjoy the car, aside from that it's an expensive garage ornament and something which is continually in the way when you want to do something. Not to mention it costs a bit more than a 306 to service. It's a tick in the box, I always said i'd own one, but you start to question yourself when you have something worth 20+K in the garage and you're driving around in a quarter million mile plus car that needs constant TLC that's worth less than the tyres you put on it. Given I have a history of back problems and am a 3 hour drive from my family, i'd rather be doing that drive in the comfort of a heated leather armchair, on cruise, with a premium stereo thanks. My choice, i've served my time in a 306, after 9 years and 200 thousand miles I fancy a new place to be. Besides, I always promised myself one new car in my life at least, may as get the thing most depreciation resistant.
If you don't like it, nobody forced you to post did they.
