Just a few pics I took this morning that I think are worth sharing here... Had my camera but was too lazy to use it, so you get a few cell phone pics instead :)

Enjoy!

That a real 11 or a replica? The TVRs are brilliant! I have a lot of love for il mostro, but the convertible... not so sure. Man, I’d love to experience the scene there, can’t get enough pictures of the crazy cars that roll out to meets.

It’s a Westfield replica ;)

And I wouldn’t go with the RZ personally... SZ ftw even if it’s not as rare!

Figures, I’ve read of guys using real 11s on the road, but not commonly. If it’d happen anywhere but the Le Mans run from the UK it’d be Japan. And the SZ, yeah, rarity be damned Iwant that beast in my life!

There’s one for sale for 30k$ right now here... Pretty damn cheap and way undermarket value.

Looks a bit dicked-with, wonder if there’s anything wrong with it.

The lead pic of the yellow car looks a lot like the Will I Am car concept. http://jalopnik.com/5873293/william-launches-crappy-car-company

Cool mix of cars. Thanks for sharing. What engine in the Caterham? All the ones I’ve seen state-side in Midwest recently have domestic V6 or V8s. Even and LS3 in one at Carlisle Import event a few years ago.

What’s the white roadster next to the Renault Spiders? :O

It’s a Yes! Roadster... Fast handmade German car with an Audi engine. Very very rare to see one.

It’s a kei-car spec Seven actually. It’s a 660cc Suzuki engine. The car still does 0 to 60 in under 6s though.

My internal monologue: “Would totally daily an RZ or SZ. So funky, so future forward, something Alfa has never lost sight of even in their tamer des-*schoolgirl shriek* AAAH TVR!!!!!! TUSCAAANNN WHY DOES IT LOOK SO PERFECT STILL?! The Tuscan even became one of the less interesting designs and still its just perfect, like it was maid for chameleon paint which I usually don’t like... and that shape ooof ”

I’ve never really subscribed to dream cars or having one dream car, or so I thought. Giving it serious review, yeah absolutely a Tuscan or Sagaris at the very top of my desire mountain. I don’t know if I’ll ever be an Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 level of rich, but I’d like to aspire to Tuscan/Sagaris comfortable living.

From a design philosophy they are basically the hottest & craziest of hot-crazy chicks

I really like TVR too... And they are cheap in the UK. Compare that to the fact that importing anything in Japan is fairly easy and well... you see where I’m going :)

As far as the RZ go, I wouldn’t get one... I’d stick with a SZ.

Meh, maybe, but at this price, I wouldn’t care too much :)

Was going to say! I’ve never heard of or seen one in my life!

Lucky. They are not cheap, anywhere in North America. Saw an Ad at a WGI track day for an ‘02 Griffith, just over the border in Canada. $60k USD with like 120k km the clock. I have no reference for TVR’s but a thoroughly used Griffith?

I’ll just buy one, in the UK, keep it there...or something. And wait...

Cool, had never seen one. Knew it existed even state-side in some Cushman equipment. How close is the F6A design to the 1 litre 3 cylinder engine G10 like in the Chevy Sprint/Metro and Suzuki Cultus/Swift? Looks about the same size externally.
