Fired the Tam up for the first time in a couple of weeks as the forecast is the best it's been in a while....after the usual array of warnings due to the cold she crackled into life and soon warmed up on the extremely gentle drive to the office.

Best driving temp I could get was 63 degrees although when stationary up to 72, certainly not great TVR driving weather as very slippy but nice to have a leisurely cruise all the same - Very tempted by an oil heater!

God damn I love that car!

Yes went out in mine yesterday. After half hour it was between 59-61 degrees. Roads were a bit grubby in Herts\Beds yesterday sadly.

I so want to go out in mine, but not in the ice/snow/salty roads. Just hoping for a dry slightly warmer weekend soon smile

I took mine out yesterday as well, she's a grumpy little cow when cold with all sorts of unheard rattles from behind the dash and in the engine bay but once warmed through she was fine.

I saw you driving through Eyensbury. Sounded cold so presume you'd only been about 2 miles smile
