For the last 3 or 4 days I've been driving the 200 around, and had got used to its balance, limits of grip, turn in, steering rack etc.
Then I jumped into the TVR and almost crashed it in rush hour traffic :eek:
I forgot the steering ratio is different... so overcompensated...
I forgot the torque came in a lot lower down the rev range... so had more torque than I actually needed for a nice drift for the given corner
I forgot the TVR has a shorter wheelbase... so is more tail happy!
And so I ended up fishtailing down the road in a rather sh1te fashion :o at one stage i almost thought i was gonna hit a lamppost!
Ah well, that'll teach me! Pissed myself laughing though once I'd sorted it out.
Oh yeah forgot to say... it's been raining a bit ;)
