How often do you lose the back end?

donatien said: Hmm, not so much "lost" the back end (it's always behind me ) but got reminded twice this morning of just how much torque a Griff 500 has low down. Span the rears on two occasions, both times in 3rd.

Still, that's what the old Rover lump is about

Similar - I've been good all week. Got to the last roundabout into work this morning, thankfully empty, and was a b it to heavy on the right foot.

Thankfully it was a experience rather than a

I wouldn't say "lost" but those white lines early on a frosty morning can be heart stopping.....

....and how about the ruts you find on lane 1 of M'ways and Dual Carriageways?

Whether wet or icy they put the willies up me!!!

Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrggggggghhhhh

Thanks lads. Having read this thread I now realise that losing the back end of the Griffith is not an everyday occurrence. Mr Big has a lot to answer for. He has to fishtail the TVR on a regular basis and I am not going to even discuss his roundabout technique.

Think someone will be getting my Osteopath's bill for Christmas.

I haven't had a single journey without some tail out action, your hubby drives sensibly

I picked my Cerb up when I bought it in the pi$$ing rain . My second time in her (test drive was first) - almost totally lost the back end on a corner going slightly too fast - missus absolutely shat herself!!! Scared me a little too!

I accidentally (no really officer) lose the back end every time I go out!!!, The pull off from my driveway is just to good to resist it!!, And once you do that you have the bug and tend to find yourself doing it all the time!!!!! ( With a completely stupid grin on your face!!)

I seem to regularly "twitch" the rear wheels of my 200sx, but the Griff seems planted in comparison!

Shadowninja - we both dwell in the TVR/Nissan 200sx Twilight Zone.... good on ya!

frequently, and with big smiles.

hmm. wonder just how long those new so3s are gonna last......

turning by a lotus/mazda garage the other week. noticed a guy with attendent salesman. booted her round the right-hander into a lovely power slide, opposite lock on as i went down the road, then wondered if the salesman was going to have any luck

hehe your griffith is the same colour as my chimaera (i thought it was called cosmOS blue btw )

says in your profile you're gonna sell the 200? dont sell it... tune it up!! 400bhp easily achievable for about £5000

had a lot of fun drifiting my old 4wd jap tubo monster but nothing gives me as much smiles per mile as the griff.
tail out action is the way forward
