Quick tussle with scooby!

[R9TUS]

Quietly pottering home in the T350, turned on to dual carriage way in the dark, and noise exploded from behind !!!
Zoooped up scooby flew past!
T350 wasn't happy and responded willingly!
I really feel more confident in the T350 compared to my old Tuscan, and was right behind subaru all the way home with plenty left in the throttle.
Didn't overtake due to scooby not pulling in but suprised me how much more I had got!
Anyway just thought I'd let you know.

Well done, keep it up!

Keep up the good work!

Did you end up with a C or a T in the end Gavin?

[R9TUS]

Bought a C due to looks, brilliant silver.
Haven't had time to take picies yet but will update soon.
Doesn't seem to drink oil like TUS and using mirror to check water level. Got speedo sensor fixed today but other than that best car I've had yet.
Completely outhandles my old Lotus!
Seems to be hard on petrol but who cares!!
To be fair all TVR's are awesome, I was in my K reg clio this afternoon on my motorway journey to work (80 miles a day, unfair on T350) and a Starmist grey cerbie went past in the 100's!!
The noise and looks are unrivalled by anything. Cheered me up for an afternoon at work without my TVR!

Nice one Gavin, TVRs eat Scoobies for breakfast!

I have had nitrons fitted to my Tuscan since we last met, the handling is awesome now!

We will have to meet up again soon.

Watch out for tuned scoobys and evos though! The hunter can become the hunted

The standard scoob does'nt have a chance on a straight road, but would prob outhandle any tvr with the right driver onboard, especially in the wet.

Just my opinion, anyone got any ideas?

Best Regards

Martyn.

T350 was quicker than any scoob or evo on the track when they tested them on Top Gear if i can remember rightly and driven by the same driver too..

[Waveboy14]

Aren't the scoobs and evos a bit heavier than the T350? (which would even out the 4wheel handling pro)

The jap 4WD stuff has got a bit lardy lately and most of it is tipping the scales at 1400kg or more.

Tamora and 350C are 1100kg (ish)

That 300kg will make loads of difference to braking distance and cornering speeds, it's like having an extra 3 fat people in your TVR

Thanks, exactly what I wanted to know.

[bumcrack]

The classic shape scooby was light(ish) at 1230kg (I think). The new shape scooby is a real lard bucket

[R9TUS]

I do think Scoobies are pretty cool, but once again whilst in my K reg clio beast today saw a lazer blue Tamora, burbling past in the traffic in Preston.
TVR's can not be defeated! in any aspect.
Well this is only my humble point of view.
Tamora looked and sounded unbelievable!
