Maybe everyone should go to next year's Autocar sideways challenge and watch to see how various cars cope. I have to say that the S2000's (OR their drivers?) coped VERY badly. Second only to the Cater/fields in the number of spins.

Would be nice to have an S2000 for the dry and summer and a WRX for the other 8 months of the year.

Wont these guys ever learn??? Rear wheel drive + 200 odd BHP + slightly damp greasy rood = BIFF ......

Strange thing is there was an identical car which had done the same thing about 5 months ago around 100 yards from where this one came to rest ......... Might even be the same person.

That's funny, I got a S2000 with 240bhp + RWD and on damp roads and DIDN'T crash. Maybe I don't drive it right? I saw a few FWD cars crashed though! As well as a TVR! Will THEY ever learn?

Two identical cars in a few months at the same place ......Must be something wrong with the road. Cant possibly be the car or the driver.

No it didnt look like that it was more like this haha



As for you Davyboy you may be able to keep your car on the road but you cant keep your **** on a bench seat ,,,,haha

A good mate of ADP's and mine had a Tuscan from new, and just before he got rid of it (to get a 996 Turbo...) it was back at TVR for 4 months. Needless to say he wasn't impressed. It also shagged up numerous times during his time with it.
I think TVR need to sort themselves out if they're going to be taken seriously.
Have you ever heard anyone say 'I'd love a TVR' without adding 'but...'?
Thought not.
Still, i'd lop off my left leg to get a T350C.
But....

Shame to see a nice car trashed though eh?

A caveat: AWD>high speed>damp corner>brutally lifting throttle=same result.

Cool

Ouch, that looks painful

On my old route to work there was a right hand bend that went over a crest & off camber, every winter you could guarantee a minimum of 5 BMWs would end up backwards in the field on the outside of the bend. Usually they were reps who had just traded up
