The TVR's are so small, it makes the tranny cooler look bigger.

We're a small island and closer together therefore, the cars are smaller!

Here we call a car that looks like that a ricer. Are you familiar with the term 'ricer'?
I think I get the idea If you thought that was bad this also showed up.




Do you have any cars that are modded to a bad taste or is it just us in the UK

eh Jason, I don't agree mate.

Surely, TVR going forward will still concentrate on a balance of style and performance. The modded one in the thread is certainly not my idea of stylish. I'm a firm fan of subtle styling and 'stealth performance'.

English reserve one might say ...

Good forum and a particularly interesting thread !!

Cheers!

Which don't you agree with - the small island bit, or TVR!?

It remains to be seen how TVR develop with a new owner - particularly the quality control. They are, probably, very nice cars to drive. They do, generally look pretty good - but not with the paint peeling off a car of only 3-4 years old!

Badly modified cars can be found wearing all types of badges.

And it's a trend of every 19 year old with a 1.0 small car to put Lexus style lights on them. Looks sh1te if you ask me, especially with a little pea shooter exhaust. Silly!

And don't get me started on bonnet scoops - PMSL!
