Driving the beast in the winter conditions
Discussion
Thought I would share with everyone my feelings on driving such a fantastic brutal beast in the winter.
These cars are so unbelievably fun to drive even in the winter, haven't had this much fun in a car ever. It may sound sick to some people but it’s kind of enjoyable having to tame the beast in icy conditions.
Lots of sideways action
The sensation you get when your sat in the seat when the rear wheels spinning trying to get grip is one of excitement and fear, you definitely feel all the road with these kind of cars, dare I say it ‘a true drivers car’.
It's so intoxicating and addictive the noise, the engine, the power to weight ratio, just makes the perfect recipe
Has anyone else had problems their windows; mine seem to get frozen up so getting in can be a bit of an issue in the morning, usually have to drive with the door open till the window motor or control unit has warmed up.
I am glad that there are so many idiots out there that don't appreciate TVR's, this means that these fantastic cars are driven and owned by real enthusiast not just people that have more money than sense and couldn't give two shades of a s
t about them.
Legal crap!
I do want to point out that at this time of year it is especially important drive sensibly and more importantly adjust your driving style to the conditions and most importantly show the car respect it deserves. I am not endorsing irresponsible and reckless driving with this post.
I think what am eluding to is that these kind of cars require my driver intervention, which makes me....
everyday.
I hope people will add their own experiences and thoughts to this post....
Merry Christmas everyone!

I CAN'T AGREE MORE, I HAVE BEEN USING MINE EVERY DAY FOR 3 WEEKS BEFORE I RE-SPRAY IT IN JANUARY.
IT IS SO MUCH FUN AS I GET UP FOR WORK AT 5.30 SO IT IS REAL SLIPPY. I TOO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE STICKY WINDOWS BUT AS SOON AS WERE GOING IT SOON DE-FROSTS.
ITS FUNNY BECAUSE MY OTHER CAR IS A MK4 GOLF WICH IS GREAT BUT WITH IT BEING A FRONTY WHEN IT UNDERSTEERS THERE ISN'T A LOT YOU CAN DO, BUT WITH THE 350 AND THE BACK STARTS TO GO ITS QUITE CONTROLABLE.
THE BEST BIT IS WHEN YOU HAVE GRIP AND YOU OPEN THE TAPS IN THE COLD AIR WITH THE WINDOW HALF DOWN. THATS THE BEST BIT!
