Where do TVRs go in the winter?

[DavHughes]

Having owned my Chimaera for a couple of months now, I'm looking forward to the rest of the Summer (when it arrives). However, what happens in the winter? Do most TVR owners wrap up their cars and happily wait for the Spring come Winter time? OR does the car come out to play on sunny Winters days?

Cheers.

And on rainy winter days

The general consensus is use them as much as you can, THEY LIKE IT! OH

Can't see the point in putting it away for the winter TBH.
For one thing they are more reliable the more their driven and also I prefer to drive it in the wet etc as it helps stop you getting too over confident in the car. Theres nothing like a few slippy moments on greasy wet roads to make you realise just what you are driving.

Under wraps when it's rainy or snowy, but give me a lovely bright crisp winters day and the Cerb is straight out of the drive

Used all year round. I have only missed one or two days through bad snow, but in all fairness we dont tend to get it too bad in NW Kent.

Remember to wrap up warm - its a bit chilly in a Chim on a sunny but crisp winters day.

Very nice when there's snow on the ground, clear skies, sunshine, no roof...

I get the picture. I used to own a Boxster S and driving it on a crisp winters day was in my opinion one of the best times to drive it. Looks like the same will apply for the Tiv :-)

I agree about driving in the wet - you do get 'gentle' reminders about power to weight ratio and rear wheel drive!

Dave - did actually park the car there, or spin it?

PS: Nice looking car!

This is where my Cerbie lives.
I use it every day whatever the weather!

What's happened to the summer?

[basil brush]

I use the Tuscan ever day no matter what the weather. It was a pain getting held up by Posche Cayennes in the snow last winter though.

Looks like you took your other car this day though ... no tyremarks in the snow

My Chim is my daily drive to work so it comes out every working day. I do have to be careful when it's wet or frosty but that's not too hard.

[doddze]

mine gets used all year long.... easiest way to keep everything running fine is to use it.... couldn't possibly leave it in the garage for 6 months.... what is the point of having it if you do!A car is safe in a garage but that isn't what they were designed to do!!

I do the same - and mine has NEVER let me down.!!

Has yours.??

I Think this is a VERY important lesson for TVR owners / drivers...........

Don't wrap them in cotton wool - they want to be driven - and if you believe what you read in the press: [TVR's] "...will bend you over and roughly take you......." well you know what I mean.........

They don't need babying.!!
