Hive's Bus Shelter Ad Trades Tweets for Heat

 - Mar 4, 2015
References: hivehome & prexamples
In order to advertise the Hive Active home heating system in a clever way, the brand set up a warming station at the Manchester Piccadilly Station. The way that a bus shelter shields commuters from the elements is already much appreciated, but Hive decided to take it a step further with a #TweetToHeat promotion.

People standing at the bus station could tweet using the hashtag to activate a 90-second blast of warm air. Because Hive is a home heating system that can be operated on-demand from a mobile device, this is a smart way to communicate that people will "Never have to heat an empty home" in a similar fashion. Since the brand gets to increase its reach on social media and commuters get to keep warm, this stunt is a win-win for everybody.

Surprising Things Could Boost Your Mood When You’re Single

Living a single life is stressful for all in the beginning. After a relationship or marriage, you have to get used to yourself being alone and not as part of a couple. However, being single is not a bad thing. Life doesn’t stop just because you’re taking a break from relationships.

That is why you have to bring back balance to your life and boost your mood. The following advice comes from the myriad of people who were single before you and found their sense of self during that time.

  1. Keep a journal

Keeping a journal is nothing unusual, even though many find it obsolete in this modern technological era. Of course, you can do it electronically, but it’s much better to do it in an old-fashioned way with pen and paper so you would avoid any distractions. Writing down your troubles, emotions, and thoughts in this way works like a therapy which will elevate your mood and help you feel more relaxed.

The most important thing when keeping a journal is to be honest and not hold back anything that is troubling you. Unlike talking to someone close to us, this is the way which is more beneficial since we don’t have the fear of judgment and other people’s opinions.

  1. Do something unusual or out of character

Sometimes it’s necessary to come out of your comfort zone in order to find your way. This is especially true for people who stay single after a long relationship or later in life. The need to find themselves again is strong, but the stress can be overwhelming and prevent them to find the solution.

Doing something unusual for you will not only help you discover new things about yourself but also open different and exciting opportunities. Try jumping off a plane, take dancing lessons or buy a ticket to the most exotic destination you always wanted to visit. These are all ways to get to know the person you’ve become after a strong emotional connection with other person ended.

  1.  Take a pet or do some charity work

The best way to deal with depression and anxiety after when you’re single is to take a pet. Even a goldfish can be good for you, since having a pet will feel your time with carrying for another life. Dogs are perfect companions for single individuals since they require regular walks and companionship.

On the other hand, you can also turn to charity work and help others get through the hard times in their lives. Whether you choose to serve meals in the soup kitchens or donate your old clothes, you will be able to find a new purpose and meaning of life in the charity work.

  1. Declutter your soul

There are more ways to cleanse yourself than through meditation, food and physical activity. One of those ways is highly advised by psychologists and that is decluttering your space. Start from your closet and then move to bigger areas of the house. Remove everything that you don’t need anymore or that belonged to your ex, especially if it was a painful goodbye.

The moment you send your unwanted things, you’ll feel as though a weight was lifted off your soul. You can also consult rubbish pickup services to help you with recycling stuff since that will give you more purpose and create a positive environment in your home.

  1. Exercise your feeling away

It’s already a well-known fact that exercise is good for the mood and overall wellbeing. Usually, people don’t have a problem with exercising, but with making that first step and actually starting to work out. So don’t force yourself and choose the form of exercise which makes you feel comfortable and great. Take it step by step and don’t put a lot of pressure and expectations on yourself. Taking it slowly will turn the exercise into your regular routine and part of your life.

Being single may seem scary, but is actually a perfect opportunity to dedicate more time to yourself. Pamper yourself with massages, spa treatments or cosmetic treatments. Enjoy the things that you weren’t able to when you were part of the couple and learn to love yourself just the way you are.

2018 Christmas Shipping Advisory

Here is our best advice on selecting a shipping method that will achieve pre-Christmas delivery for parcels delivered to most US addresses. We ship from Seattle, Washington 98116.

The USPS Service Commitments webpage will tell you when you can expect a parcel to arrive at a location by providing the expected shipment date and our Origin Zip Code, 98116.

USPS First Class/Priority Mail - USPS First Class and Priority Mail provide remarkably swift and reliable air-expedited service at a price that allows us to include free shipping with our low pricing. However, as Christmas approaches, transit times may grow a day or two longer.

Priority Mail Express - Priced a little higher than FedEx 2Day service, USPS Priority Mail Express reaches most addresses overnight, but some may take two days. Use the USPS Service Commitments webpage to determine the scheduled delivery date by providing the expected shipment date and our Origin Zip Code, 98116. Reliability is very high, and a money-back guarantee is provided.

FedEx Express - For fast, highly reliable, date-definite delivery, FedEx is the way to go, though it can be expensive. If you are shipping to a rural or remote area, we recommend that you visit the FedEx website to confirm that normal transit times apply to your destination, or call us for assistance at (206) 937-1515. Use 98116 as the "From" Zip Code.

Orders placed through noon PST Monday - Friday will be shipped the same day. On Saturday, orders to be shipped by the USPS placed by noon PST will be shipped the same day. FedEx shipments are dispatched Monday through Friday.

“Idyllic villa commanding a prestige location”
Reviewed May 27, 2018 for a stay in May 2018

The Sail Away villa sits in a prime spot right on the sea front.

You are not overlooked at the back, or from the front – that is discounting all the ships that pass by on the horizontal sea edge.

As a self-accommodation villa, it has everything you could possibly require. For a family holiday it has three bedrooms, an enclosed rear garden and a front raised decked area complete with furniture to relax and unwind.

The villa’s positioning is perfect for stepping out and going on those coast line walks. Stop off at the nearby ‘Seapot’ and take in some refreshments while listening to the waves beating against the shore.
You could try a walk in the opposite direction towards the Ventnor esplanade. There you will find several shops, bars, eating places and a lovely safe and sandy beach. The Spyglass pub is the furthest building along this low-level walking front. While we were on holiday, the Spyglass had a programme of events with artist’s performing every evening and the food was excellent too.

Beyond this point, there is a steep road which leads to a carpark. Walk through the carpark and follow the pathway until you eventually reach Steephil Cove. Once again, another unique place to spend your day.
Be advised that by walking further than the Spyglass, and to Steephill Cove, that you will encounter steep hilly pathways and stepped areas.

At the side of the Sail Away villa, there are some private concrete steps which lead into Ventnor town. As the terrain starts to level out, you will come across The Volunteer pub. The place goes back in time and is well worth calling in for a drink. Take a look at the old till that is still in use. No electronic gadget stuff here. It is just magical.
If the steps are not for you, just jump in your car (parked on same level as the villa), and drive up the road to the top.

All in all, the Sail Away villa is the perfect place for making the most of your holiday in the Isle of White. Every conceivability has been catered for in the villa and if, for some reason, you find there is something lacking, just put your comments in the guest book.

When you return, and you will (as we will be), see if it has been sorted.
We are certain this would be the case.

Enjoy this wonderful villa.

“Francesco and Patricia are the perfect Hosts!”
Reviewed May 10, 2016 for a stay in August 2014

During our visit to Sicily, we stayed in Torretta, a traditional, small and beautiful typical Sicilian village located not too far from Palermo, with easy access to the airport and beaches. The apartment is centrally located in the village, near to shops, amenities, restaurants and bars but far enough to still be peaceful. It has a unique mixture of traditional and modern styles. It was very clean, maintained to the highest of standards and it contained all of the necessary appliances. The rooms were spacious and split onto different levels.The balcony offers a beautiful view and the opportunity to sit in the afternoon sun. I would stay here again and recommend this apartment for any prospective tourists or those wishing to visit for longer. Francesco and Patricia are the perfect hosts and went out of their way to make us feel welcome; giving us lots of advice and information on what to do, Where to eat and anything we needed making us at all times feel extremely welcome and comfortable. This really is the perfect place to stay and we cannot wait for our next visit!

  • This is a great place to do anything. If you want to rent a site for a gathering, it's great! Mountain biker? Some of the best trails I've ever seen! For anyone who likes to sled or wants to try out snowboarding or skiing they have a great hill for it.

  • I come here a couple times a week to run the puppy out of our puppy. Very nice people and usually very nice dogs. Kooper and Kasey love it!

  • Visited the archery range. Was a nice range with an elevated stand. Well maintained and easy to get to. Would be nice if they had longer shots and it's not free to park.

  • Pitbull's can be great, no argument, but, there are a too many there that aren't owned by smart people, not the dogs fault, but there are too many dog fights involving pits at this park. The remainder of the park is great but use caution at the dog park. You'll know when you see them (the owners), stay out...

  • Blue trail is excellent for Mountain Biking. Park is kept in great shape... beautiful. Facilities all good.

cR earning tips:
-Playing gruntpocalypse on Corvette is rich in earning commendations which leads to consist cR bonuses (go to matchmaking, cooperative, score attack. keeping voting until you get corvette which is a small map). Without unlocking any major commendation levels, you can consistently average at least 1000 every 8-10 minutes clearing this just for all the double kills, triple kills, etc. When you do unlock a silver/gold commendation level you'll get a hefty bonus. Some games I was breaking 3000 cR.

-Playing sniper attack on Courtyard is also very rewarding with about 1000 cR each attempt. As soon as the level starts, cross the bridge in front of you, make a right and get to the end of this walkway. You can't be flanked from this position so it's a good place to camp out. If you're patient, most enemies will come at you in waves of 4 which will line up nicely for a one shot overkill. In wave 4 & 5, some enemies can jump or jetpack to your location so just be prepared for that. After a recent update you can no longer pick up enemy weapons in this mode. You will get a lot of multikills on this map. I was getting about 50 per attempt.

-Spamming the target locater on Oni Sword base. Start the level on Heroic and sprint along the right wall to get into the first base where the target locater is (don't kill anyone). Pick it up, get to the back corner on the same wall its located on to trigger a checkpoint. Kill the enemies with one shot, revert to last save over and over. It's been brought to my attention it's also useful to turn on the Thunderstorm skull to upgrade the types of enemies you are facing, so you work on even more commendations (credit MICKERR). You will get a lot of commendations to the silver/gold level this way and you will get a great amount of cR in 1 or 2 hours. Once most commendations reach gold, this method becomes less and less rewarding.

-Play Winter Contingency on Legendary with scoring on and safely sprint your way through the level without dying. When you get to the final room with the four grunts and the sword elite, save and quit. Now resume campaign progress and clear them out, push the button, and skip the cutscene. You should get a bonus commendation (200cR) for beating the level on legendary without dying (Flawless Cowboy). You can then resume campaign and you'll be back in that same room. You can do this about 25 times for a quick 5000+ cR. After that the time it takes to do this isn't worth the small cR in my opinion.

-Daily/Weekly Challenges: These are nice cR bonuses to take advantage of, and usually are fairly easy to obtain. To check what they are for a given day, press start, go to challenges. So far, most of the kills X amount of enemies in firefight matchmaking have been attainable while playing Gruntpocalypse which is nice.

-Play the MP & Campaign! It's a brilliant game, and you are rewarded with cR for doing nearly everything.

Note: 200,000 cR is the limit of credits you can earn in a day. (credit Quarantane)

8 Signs You Grew Up With Childhood Emotional Neglect

Childhood emotional neglect is very simple to define but complex in its effect. It happens when your parents fail to fulfill your emotional needs. They may fail to provide emotional support and attention that they should provide. Such parents do not give a level of affection and attention to their child.

Emotional neglect is very different from emotional abuse as emotional abuse distincts from physical abuse. Here at TryArticles, I have discussed the signs that can help you to identify the childhood emotional neglect. This article will help you to recognize the  signs of emotional neglect.

8 Signs You Grew Up With Childhood Emotional Neglect

Emotional support from parents can develop the best personality of the child.  Emotional neglect can discourage your child towards a normal and happy life. A child always need his parents for emotional and moral support.

Children may need their parents on every step to achieve success and good remarks. Parents do not fulfill the emotional needs of their children which negatively affect the mental health of a child. Following signs can help you to find the answer to the question that, are you grown up with childhood emotional neglect?

Feeling Of Emptiness

The chronic and empty feeling is a sign of emotional neglect in the childhood. The people with childhood emotional neglect are always found reacting different from others.

They feel empty from inside. For example, they can feel an emptiness in chest, belly or throat that occurs repeatedly. Childhood emotional neglect is always found to be hard and unmemorable for the people who suffered it in the past.

The person with childhood neglect cannot make social relationships. He may adopt antisocial behavior. These grown-ups cannot share their feelings with others because they are often rejected by their parents.

Fear Of Being Dependent

The people with childhood emotional neglect can also suffer from fear of dependence due to neglection and trauma. When as a child no one notices your feeling and emotional needs then it becomes hurting for you. You may feel an unwanted and irrational fear of being dependent on your friends or people who are close to you.

The childhood neglection inhibits your personality to grow in a positive and optimistic way. Your self-knowledge and intrinsic motivation can disturb to grow further. It often forces you to feel yourself worst than others.

The love of parents gives emotional support that helps a child to become a successful and emotionally strong person in the future. But childhood neglection badly disrupts the mental health of the neglected child. If you suffer from the fear of being dependent, you may have experienced negligence from your parents in the childhood.

Low Self-Esteem And Shame

As a child, you can feel upset when the things around you upset you many times including the neglected behavior of your parents. It can kill your confidence and you feel over-sensitive that can produce the feeling of shame and guilt in you.

You can have difficulties to grow up from the problems in the home, school, and your siblings. It can create violence in your mind that disturbs your normal life activities. You can cry for your weaknesses. It can help you to release your emotions and feeling of anger. All these signs show the emotional neglection.

Self Directed Anger And Blame

Self-blame is defined as a cognitive process in which people blame themselves for a stressful event or situation. Self-directed anger is also a symptom of childhood emotional neglect and low self-esteem. People feel angry and try to relax themselves with self-harming behaviors.

They can do following things.

  • Aggression and anger.
  • Self-harming behaviors.
  • Self-blame for any mistake.
  • Guilt.

Difficulty In Expression Of Emotions

The people with childhood emotional neglect can feel difficulty to express their emotions. They do not understand their emotions and feel shame to share their problems with friends or family.  They become depressed many times when they think about their own needs.

The neglection from parents can cause low self-worth in a child and with the passage of time the guilt and low self-esteem becomes a serious issue to express feelings. The people with childhood neglection cannot express their feelings for others and feel fear or shiver when they try to share their feelings.

Proud Of Independence

People who suffer from the childhood emotional neglection feel proud for independence. They do not know the emotional attachment or severity of any relationship due to childhood neglection. These people can also suffer from borderline personality traits. They are also involved in criminal activities or are drug addicted due to independence from immature age.

Not Touch With The Feeling Of Ownself

Are you out of touch with your emotions? What’s the reason behind it? A neglected person feels confused about his needs and wishes. People do not understand their feelings due to childhood emotional neglection. This neglection becomes a major life event that cannot be forgotton and recovered easily.

Self feelings

Getting back to basics is impossible after spending a lot of time with emotional pain and neglection from parents. The love and care of parents is the only thing that can develop your best personality. A neglected child cannot be in love with his own feelings and feel depressed many times.

Being Harsh And Hard On Ownself

If you often blame yourself for the errors and problems in your life and no one gives you emotional and moral support than you may feel neglected. Being harsh and hard on own self is also a symptom of childhood emotional neglection from parents.

GETTING harsh and hard

The neglected child can become a criminal or mentally ill person when he faces a harsh neglection from his parents. Emotional disturbance is the big issue that a neglected child can always face.

Don’t blame yourself for the problematic situations and try to make yourself emotionally strong person. It is possible to recover from childhood emotional neglection with the help of an expert and therapies.

Dewey Lowell Trent: 1927-2012 |

Dewey Lowell Trent: 1927-2012

Dewey Lowell Trent, Oelrichs, SD, went to live with his Heavenly Father on Dec. 28, 2012, following a lengthy battle with cancer. He had been a resident of Hospice of the Hills, since Feb. 8, 2012, where he quickly won the hearts of those who served him with his quick wit, sparkling eyes and infectious smile.

The third child of Harry Gilbert and Lucy Alvina (Wellner) Trent, Dewey was born Sept. 2, 1927, at Oelrichs, SD. He attended school at the Lennon and Oelrichs Schools graduating from Oelrichs High School in 1945. Dewey married Mytle LeLaCheur on March 25, 1950. Into this union, three sons were born, Melvin in 1951 and twins Ronald and Donald in 1953.

Dewey lived his entire life in the Fall River County in the Smithwick and Oelrichs area. He first worked farming for Clifford and William Gieser, and began working for the Lorenz Brothers in heavy machinery construction in 1950. He helped build a lot of stock dams in the county that are still being used to water livestock, including many in the Hay Canyon area. During this period of time he also farmed and ranched and continued to do so after moving the family to Oelrichs in 1962 when he took over the job of Standard Oil Agent. Dewey and Myrtle purchased the business from Standard Oil in 1976 and continued to serve their many customers in the counties of Fall River, Custer and Shannon until the business closed Dec. 31, 2011.

Trent Oil Company supported the Fall River County 4-H program having been a buyer at the 4-H livestock sale for 25 years. The Trent Family were recipients of the Farm Bureau Century Farm award in 2000 and in 2012 were recognized by the Hot Springs Area Chamber of Commerce Ag Committee as Ag Family of the Year. Dewey was a lifelong member of B.P.O.E., SD Cattlemen's and Stockgrowers Organizations. He served on the Smithwick School Board and was a board member for Southern Hills General Hospital from 1971-1998. Dewey was a long-time member of the Oelrichs Volunteer Fire Department, serving 25 years as treasurer; a member of the Oelrichs United Methodist Church and most recently the Prairie View United Methodist Church. Dewey believed in treating people fairly and expected no less in return. His kindness and wonderful sense of humor will be greatly missed.

Visitation was held from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2013, at the Prairie View United Methodist Church west of Smithwick, SD.

Funeral Services will be held at 10 a.m., Thursday, Jan. 3, 2013, at the Church with Pastor Paul Smith officiating. Interment will follow at the Hillside Cemetery, near Oelrichs.

Dewey is survived by his wife of 62 years, Myrtle Trent; sons Melvin and Mary of Rapid City, SD; Ron and Cindy of Oelrichs, SD; Don of Houston, MO; grandchildren Justin (Melody) Trent, Chadron, NE; Kenneth (Judy) Trent, Ravenna, NE; Kevin Trent, Thermopolis, WY; Casey (Nancy)Trent, Brodus, MT; Devon Trent, Oelrichs, SD; Angela Trent, Houston MO; great-grandchildren, Ashley, Adrianna, Kaylee, Duane, Kayden and Pacen; one brother Lewis Trent, Greenwood, IN; four sisters Irma Rubin, Rapid City, SD; Edyth Gamet, Hot Springs, SD; Lola Kirchhevel, Rapid City, SD; Connie Ulmer, Oelrichs, SD; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

Dewey was preceded in death by his parents, Gilbert and Lucy; brother, Bob Trent; sister, Carol Wilson; grandson, Brandon J. Trent and great-grandson Brandon L. Trent.

A memorial has been established in Dewey's name.

Arrangements have been placed in the care of McColley's Chapel of the Hills in Hot Springs, SD. Written condolences may be made at

untitledRecent housing developments around some of Australia’s busiest airports, and
further proposals for such developments have been the catalyst for some heated
debate about the impacts of aircraft noise. Unfortunately the heat in the debate often
comes at the expense of clarity, leaving the public with little understanding of what
the noise will be like. Worse, those buying in these new estates often do so in
ignorance of the noise that they will or might have to bear.

strong reputation as a caring and professional teacher

During my career as a teacher, one of the subjects that I taught was spelling. Before and during my teaching, I was trained by Mae Carden whose spelling method consists of learning the sounds with which words are constructed. The understanding and application of these rules help a person become a thinking, and, therefore, skilled speller. Syllabication and dictionary marks are also important learning tools because they help the speller to determine what is the correct vowel sound.

New GCSE Maths (9-1) Grade Comparison.

February 14, 2017

New GCSE Maths (9-1) May 2017.Grading System.

So what’s the big deal? The New Grading System compares exactly as below:

Image title

From the information available, this is what I expect for numbers of students attaining each grade – grades and boundaries specifically detailed by Ofqual Sept2014 are in red, others are ‘intelligent’ guesses from exam board presentations.

In a nutshell, the most significant changes are as below:

  • Some very important formulae from the formula booklet have been removed. This is a big change as the formula to solve quadratic equations is no more there. Forget about being able to use this accurately, students find this formula very difficult to remember in the first place. The other formula taken off is that of Trigonometry (Sine and Cosine rules for finding missing sides and angles in a non right angle triangle).

Whilst the Sine RULE is easy to implement it can be very difficult to remember the cosine rule for finding a side and an angle. It looks something like this:  a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc cos A and the one for finding the angle which can be obtained by rearranging the above.

The list of formulae to remember now looks something like this:

Quadratic formula to solve for x.   x =– b ± √(b² – 4ac) /2a

Cosine rulea2 = b2 + c2 – 2bcCosA

Sine Rule: a /sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C

Area triangle = ½ a b sinC

  • Exams are Linear Format instead of Modules meaning there will be Three exam papers to sit at the end of year 11 only. One non-calculator paper and two Calculator papers. All the topics are now scattered across the board and anything could be asked in any of the papers. All exams are 1 hour 45 minutes each. Different exam boards i.e. Edexcel, AQA, OCR are irrelevant as GCSE Maths is a core subject hence the curriculum is broadly the same.
  • Key content New to the Foundation Tier: Using trigonometric ratios, Use of Standard Form, Vectors, Factorising quadratics, including the difference of two squares, Using y=mx+c
  • Key Content New to the Higher Tier: Equation of a circle (centre at the origin) – this may have already been in some specifications but wasn’t in all, Tangent to a circle, Using iteration to find approximate solutions to equations, Gradient at a point on a curve, Average and instantaneous rates of change, Areas under graphs, (some) Kinematics formulae.
  • Key Content New to BOTH the tiers: Knowing the exact values of sinθ, cosθ and tanθ for θ= 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°(not tan). Using inequality notation to specify error intervals, Using Venn diagrams, Working with percentages >100%, Frequency trees.
  • IGCSE Maths has retained some topics from As Maths and so has the standard GCSE Maths. To read more about the topics please click Here

Whilst I understand the above move is to make British high school qualification comparable at par with other countries like Finland, Sweden, Germany and especially the Asian counterparts i.e. Singapore, Hong Kong, China and India. If you find this update informative please take a moment to share it on facebook, LinkedIn or other platforms by clicking the share buttons on the left of this page.

I will be posting important updates regularly over here about my key findings. However, if you are enrolled into my tutoring program than you do not need to worry about any of the changes as I keep the students/parents aware of even the smallest changes and my tutorials include the latest syllabus, exam techniques and topics. If you have not registered for the Easter Revision course for May – June 2017 Exams then I highly recommend you to do so by contacting me asap.

TVR Tuscan Convertible: driving impressions of Channel 4

TVR Tuscan Convertible: driving impressions of Channel 4

Buying a TVR has always been considered to be something of a gamble. Without the quality control systems and enormous research and development budgets of a global brand like BMW, the Blackpool-based marque has always relied on the passion it invokes in its fans to convince people to buy into the brand.

It’s a passion that must run very deep in Russian millionaire Nikolai Smolenski: In July 2004, the 25-year-old took the ultimate gamble and bought the company outright.
As predicted, the last 15 months haven’t been plain sailing for TVR’s new owner. One of Smolenski’s first moves was to hire former McLaren director (and disappointed TVR bidder) Nigel Gordon-Stewart to help come up with a viable business plan. His strategy was based around a new state-of-the-art factory, outsourced body construction and an emissions-friendly V8 engine. Shortly after, Gordon-Stewart was sacked. He is now suing the company.
While all this was going on, Smolenski was busy putting his own stamp on TVR. The first of which – announcing, via a company official, his intention to launch the company in North America – created a lot of concern. Selling cars as challenging to drive as these in a country as litigious as the US would be highly risky, the critics said. Tellingly, no mention of the matter has been made by any TVR spokesperson since.

His second high-profile move spurred a different kind of response. When he halted production and delayed development of the Tuscan 2 and Sagaris to establish more effective quality control procedures, a cry of “about time” came from the automotive community. As cars were jetted to Africa and the Arctic for extreme-weather testing, it seemed that the young Russian was going to make good on his promise to sort out TVR’s reliability for good.

Delightfully bizarre

So, a little over a year later, where exactly is TVR? The best way to gauge how far Britain’s biggest-selling sportscar manufacturer has come since the buyout is to drive its latest model, the Tuscan Convertible.

Note ‘Tuscan’ rather than Tuscan 2. This is the first time the car has been built in convertible form, the Targa being the closest you could get to wind-in-the-hair motoring. Like the coupe, the new car gets the revised twin-headlamp clusters instead of the old (much cooler-looking) triple lamp arrangement. No matter, it’s still a beautiful-looking machine – even more so because of the contrasting tones of the svelte black canvas roof, 18-inch gunmetal grey alloys and bright red paint.
Creating a convertible is a complicated business. But even by today’s standards, TVR has gone the whole nine yards with the Tuscan. The interior is an absolute masterclass in modern sports car design and, significantly, is the first to feature a symmetrical dashboard layout. Not only will this dramatically reduce the cost of converting to left-hand-drive, but – along with moves such as the use of Ford Mondeo-derived indicator stalks in place of costly bespoke items – also underlines Smolenski’s determination to drive deeper into Europe.

Don’t think that these small steps towards homogenisation have robbed the TVR of its character, though. The counter-rotating dial in the middle of the centre console that opens the doors is delightfully bizarre, while the Tamora-style instruments are side-lit with an eerie, yellowish-green glow.
Then there are the leather seats. Hand-stitched with red thread and featuring striking red leather inserts, they combine with the organic curves of the dashboard and clamshell-style storage trays to create an ambience that’s part sci-fi, part French boudoir. It even smells other-worldly.

The Stuff of pure fantasy

In terms of ergonomics, ease of use and build quality, the Tuscan Convertible definitely raises the game. Sadly, the same can’t be said of the roof mechanism. Smolenski was apparently keen to develop an electrically retractable system, but was swayed into using the tried-and-tested Griffith formula by the enormous cost and time involved. Shame. With practice, it’s possible to get the main roof panel in the boot and the hinged rear section down within a matter of minutes, but it’s not a task undertaken lightly.

Work still needs to be done on the window seals, too. On my test car there was a gap between the roof and the glass big enough to poke a biro through – exactly the sort of thing that has traditionally sent potential buyers scurrying off to their nearest Porsche dealer. That and the plastic rear screen.
With the roof down, though, minor niggles like these soon evaporate, subsumed as they are by the sheer visual drama of the thing. Even the most striking roadsters tend to disappoint once you get close enough to peer inside them. Not the Tuscan. It has the look and feel of a true bespoke sports car – the stuff of pure fantasy.

The same goes for the exhaust note from those superbike-style carbon cans. The needle flicks violently around the rev range at each prod of the throttle, the 4-litre straight-six engine barking, growling and screaming like a cornered animal. TVR decided to use a detuned version of the Sagaris’s engine rather than the Tuscan 2’s 3.6-litre unit – and a good thing too. It’s one of the great sports car engines, providing that “anywhere, anytime” thrust that’s so central to the appeal of any TVR. All the while, that glorious soundtrack is reverberating off walls, trees and anything else left behind in the Tuscan’s wake.
There’s a 400bhp Convertible S waiting in the wings, but to be honest the “regular” version feels more than fast enough. Some of this can be put down to the 365bhp that the engine kicks out at 6,800rpm; in a composite and aluminium car weighing just 1,100kg, that adds up to a power-to-weight-ratio of 337bhp-per-ton.

An interesting journey

However, much of the car’s ability to intoxicate can be put down to the sheer visceral nature of the thing. You can hear, feel, and even smell every movement of the car’s internal workings, as if they were hard-wired directly into your synapses. It’s not subtle; but then it’s not meant to be.
One thing’s for certain, though: it’s a less physical experience than any previous TVR offering. The clutch is light and wonderfully progressive; the gearshift precise but satisfyingly slick; and the lower-geared steering rack introduced on the latest coupe has done much to reduce steering effort at parking speeds.

The suspension’s a revelation, too. Damper manufacturer Bilstein and a chassis specialist called Multimac had a lot of input into the Convertible’s set-up; the result is the most finely resolved ride and handling balance yet. In sports setting (there’s also a comfort configuration) the ride is nice and supple around town, yet taut and well-damped at high speed. That said, there’s a slight dartiness over rutted, variable-cambered roads; the Tuscan is also still a car that you drive with both hands firmly on the wheel – especially during spirited cornering. The 235/55-profile Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres generate enormous grip and give plenty of warning before letting go. When they do, though, you need a strong constitution and quick reflexes to get it straight again.
Of all the current TVRs, it’s the Tuscan Convertible that represents the most complete package. It has superb brakes, great traction, a gorgeous interior and does a fine job of insulating its occupants from wind, even at motorway speeds. It also has a very capacious boot, even with the roof panel stowed away. All that, and a claimed top speed of 190mph-plus, for a starting price of £39,050 (£45,061 in this spec).
It makes you think – on more than one level. The concept is pure Peter Wheeler-era TVR, but the execution, while not quite perfect, speaks volumes about Smolenski’s commitment to opening the brand up to a wider audience.
It’s going to be an interesting journey, and I, for one, am going to stick around for the ride.
