Not sure im spot on on the spelling of the last two, but any TVR owners who own the TIV for sideways fun and a 4wd rally car for winter less sideways fun?

Not quite as exotic maybe, but I sold an RS2000 4x4 to get my Chimp. That was a seriously useful bit of kit and as quick as anything on twisty backroads. The buyer got a complete bargain

Had a 16V Integrale last year, owned it for two years...quite breathtaking, and bloody expensive to run....these cars are actually too good for the roads, you have to drive them like a lunatic to get any fun...I prefer my new V8S...although i do miss the grale.

Have an A6 2.8 Quattro as a very very very comfortable quick cruiser in the week. It is approaching shed prices (£3000 for a mint '98) but it feels and goes good.

Not quite a vicious SWB 80s quattro but some of the magic is still there

I bought a year old Impreza WRX about 3 weeks ago for the daily commute and for when the weather gets really bad ...... it is far more refined than my Griff - climate control and leather seats! - Infact it's so refined compared to what I expected I have had to book it into the dealer for a 40 bhp 'Prodrive' engine upgrade to make it more interesting !!!

I think with 260bhp on tap and four wheel drive it should satisfy me through the winter until I can use the Griff regularly again !

I am on my second grale , had it for five years now . I originaly bought it as a sensible four door car but had no idea about the performance ! I would not sell it unless I was getting another . The only problem is my wife hates it , too dangerous , would rather be in the griff , David

i was trying to sell the quattro but not much interest and its still such a great car think I might as well hang onto it as my sensible car, for this winter at least.

I'm about to inherit wife's old '98 5-dr Turbo for just this purpose, sparing the T350 the winter salt. Rear power-bias makes it surprisingly entertaining exiting sharp corners in wet, in snow obviously awesome, plus bombproof reliability... decided nothing much to beat it really, as could blow lots of cash for no more fun

Been swapping between 4wd ur quattro turbos/grales/TVRs for years, the grale was a go-kart - excellent fun in any conditions, the quattro the supercar you could take your granny shopping in (not quite sure why you'd want to) and still handles superbly well, the TVRs are just momentus fun and provide the biggest grin but need the most concentration.. although having said that I fancy a quattro again... FFS!

I've had a Scooby 4cam turbo, TT Quattro, Griff, Tuscan and now RS6. I want to keep the RS6 as it's absolutely awesome but will be getting another TVR as soon as funds dictate. Realistically another Griff or maybe a Tamora. Really want a Sagaris but would have to let the 6 go for that.
On the Fun side the RS6 is quicker than the TVR's although not as nimble.

ive not got any of the above, but have a cerbera and a pulsar gtir. The gtir is front biased but with 320bhp it is quite easy to get the rear end out. Can drive it so fast no matter what the road conditions are like tho, which is more than i can say for the cerb!

I have a TVR V8S for mainly summer fun and an Audi A3 S-Line 2.0TDi Sport Quattro for everyday use, both are fantastic cars in different ways.

Tell me why you all drive a non English car? There are range rovers, rolls royses, bentley's, rover, mg's, and you all drive German or japanees cars.
My daily car is the one and only DEFENDER.
