I completely fail to see the link between speed and fun.
I have more fun on my daily commute in my 85 bhp/ton Focus than I do in my Cup.
Why?
Because I can drive it pretty much flat out everywhere, and you have to think about your driving, make sure you are smooth, keep the momentum up...
Here's a short clip of mine, Yozzasport decat and MkII Stealth...sounds noisy as car's a bit bare.

I love it.
Mine's been MOT tested a couple of times with the decat on, both times it was almost a pass, 2 of the levels were ok, the 3rd was only just slightly over.
Why is that if everyone else's fails badly?
I agree totally with the OP.
I've long said ABS and traction control breed poorer drivers.
Stick a 9 inch spike out from the centre of everyone's steering wheel. The illusion of safety would be gone, and everyone would drive like saints.
People I know who have such aids tend to lean on...
I know they're light, and masses of fun...but for me the tales of owenership woe and expense, compared to the (almost) bulletproof reliability of the S2000 let's them down.
240bhp in just over a ton would be hard to resist though!
According to you...
According to me, and many others who own and watch a Sky HD box...the HD channels are massively superior compared to the SD ones.
So what if it's not 'true HD', that's not what I paid for.
I wanted a superior picture quality for £10 and that's what I got, so I and many...
One of them there TVRs was at the Surrey RR day yesterday.
Sounded imense when it pulled up, was rattling everything as it idled away, sounded like pure thunder.
Then he ran it up, and it posted a MASSIVE 200 bhp - good ol' Rover V8s.
Err...I'll have an S2000 please.
As said above, regardless of what it actually is that they show you on the HD channel...it is infinitely superior to the SD channels.
So, £10 per month for 30 channels...that's good value to me.
Update:
New throttle body fitted...70 miles covered today, hasn't dropped into limp mode once.
On the old body, the same journey saw it go about 10 times.
Fixed for tomorrow :approve:
Which track can a 172/182 hit an indicated 140 on?
At Castle Combe, Goodwood, and Bedford (1km straight) I never see more than 120 indicated.
Either you're running 300 bhp, or there's a track with a very long straight somewhere?
So long as it's warm I agree.
Not driven on R888s but I've tried a few other brands/compounds, and the one thing none of them like is the cold.
So long as it's warm, as said above, I'd take them on a damp track over any 'standard' road-going tyre.
