Last night whilst out in the Griff I found myself laughing out loud in a sort of crazed menacing way. Didn’t even realise I was doing it to start with, does anyone else do this or do you think I’m going mad ?

I do the same, everytime I see an e-mail from some people I work with, I am overcome with a mad laughter as I cannot understand what the hell they are talking, about or moaning about, or worse still why they are requesting what they are requesting.

No madder than repeatedly doing the round trip from Winchester to Fernies just for a "fix" or trying to work out how to inconspicuously get both on the "inside" of any Tivs I see on my run to or from work *AND* have my window down. (Easier to justify in summer than winter of course.)

At the ripe old age of 33 I have had to accept that I just have to hope that the driver of whatever Tiv it is just happens to blip the throttle as I'm within earshot rather than looking across pleadingly or saying "Go on ... just rev it for me pleeeeease?"

yep, went mad ages ago. As far as I know there is no know cure. Sunny weather seems to exacerbate the condition as well!!

You can only be considered truely mad when you have driven at Ahem....70mph on the motorway, roof down, on a crisp winter morning on the way to work whooping and yelling about the delights of being able to be in the situation you find yourself. While others are wrapped up in their tin tops fur hat and all looking at you as if you are totally barmy.

Me?.......no. No, no. No, no, no, no - Yes.

What - you never had that in the 400 SE Dave - happens on a regular basis - standard TVR ownership affliction.. often wonder what the other drivers must think - then again - probably best not to...

Had the symptoms a few times today in West Wales. Nice roads and corners. Missis rattling around in the passenger seat

If it's madness then you're not alone!

Now, this is completely expected and if you didnt ever do this while driving a TVR then i think you would be a CCC (ClosetCrazyChortler) and should come out asap.

Find this mostly happens on hardcore accelleration

You called ?

Smiling, grinning then maniacal laughing all go with top off TVR ownership on almost any road at any time of the year. Perfectly normal behavior

Thinking back I must have but it’s the realisation that your doing it without knowing that’s scary. Maybe it’s because I can hear myself laughing now and I couldn’t hear anything over the 400 exhaust

Madness? Maniacal laughter? Standard behaviour/practice for all TVR drivers "They all do that, Sir"

[Deep rhetorical, meaning of life mode]

What is "normal" (or sane, or "unmad") anyway?
