I'm curious. One of my only annoyances with my S3 is that the turning circle is pretty poor. My old TR7 was twice as good! Are any of the newer TVRs have a better turning circle than the S series? I know they use ford stuff and they're never that good at turning. You would have thought that being RWD it would be respectable.

I suppose it's the combination of wide wheels with widely braced wishbones, whatever the cause they do seem a lot worse than your ordinary fwd box.

My T350 is also like turning round a cruise liner! Takes ages to get out of garage sometimes which is horrible when people are watching! Backwards -forwards - backwards! anyway you get the picture

Cerb was reasonable until fitting 18" spiders, plus spacers to stop them hitting the wishbones, increased it dramatically .

Was driving my g/f Ford Puma last night (great fun) and had to do a U-turn.

I'd forgotton that it was possible to do these without at least four back-and-forths!
