A TVR, with safety features?

No ABS, No Airbags, don't even think it has side impact bars

I thought it was built around a space frame? Surely that makes it fairly safe?

a) Turn the volume down so it isnt as scary
b) Forward the scene a bit, then he can see if something scary has happened. This is very annoying
says it all tbh

TBH i would hate to be in any crash in mine; even a small knock would prob write it off But to be honest its not as twitchy as i thought it would be, its not a handful like some people rant about
