I've had the Tam a year, and only today was my dad brave enough to get into it (I scared him with the tail happy Chim before!!)
He loved it! Thought it was a bit noisey, but he said,'This isn't a car, it's a bloody Spitfire, it even sounds like one!!!!' (In a very strong Redditch accent!!) He was amazed how sure footed it was in the wet, with the tail not even hinting at breaking away at 7000 rpm, in the wet! But most of all, he was gobsmaked at the Road Angel and the woman speaking from the satnav, kind of how someone from the middle ages would have gawped if they seen a modern jet fighter!! Was a bit disappointed though, as all he could wax lyrical afterwards was the bloody satnav!!! hey ho!!

Took my Dad around Cadwell last Friday at the TVRCC track day. He loved it, but declined a second ride at the next session

I took my mum out for a blast in the T350 a couple of weeks ago,she is 75 and only 4'11" tall, she could'nt see over the dash, but she said ...quote unquote..... and this is the truth!! "The view sounded alright".
She loved the sound of the speed, Bless her heart eh?
