Its possible most of the time, but you may end up feeling a bit like this: --- Post updated --- Just found this gem, skip to 6:20 --- Post updated --- Some new details on the new TVR are out. V8 5.0l Ford Coyote engine tuned by cosworth. They are targeting 400bhp/tonne with a target weight of 1250kg (2,756lbs), so probably somewhere around 480hp. Front engine, 6 speed manual, rear wheel drive. Apparently the bodywork will generate ground effect downforce.

Im really interested in that tvr as i love the company hopefully they arent to prone to catch fire or fall apart like the old ones
To me the styling of the Saggaris makes me happy in a way that no other car does. There is something about it that makes me feel childlike joy again. If the new one isn't available in ChromaFlair I am gonna be quite disappointed. I guess its possible they might hold it back for a more hardcore and bonkers version though.
TVR, eh? People must be really determined to brute force them into existence In other news, a spot of light of-roading while I'm on vacation:
We were a bit disappointed it wasn't more challenging since that road is known to get pretty rough, and motorised vehicles aren't allowed off the road, but it was still a lot of fun. I have plans to make a video from the footage we captured when I get back home.
May I ask where that is? Also, somewhat on topic, I bought this thing recently: Fun to ride, extremely cheap on gas, and cheap insurance. So far so good. (I have yet to get a better photo)
I need your guys opinions on new taillights, one of my current ones has a broken lense and they look kinda ricey. Current: New ones I've narrowed down to: I would just go back to stock ones because I think they actually look better but I really like how bright the LEDs are and an LED bulb in a regular housing just doesn't quite have the same brightness. The two on the left are the same with different colored housings/lenses. The right one has a halo running light thing and the actual brake/turn is the center diodes, it also looks closer to stock (while off, when it's on it's pretty obvious it's not stock) and stockish appearance is what I want.
If I could I would just put the stock lenses on the housings I have now, but when I tried baking the stock ones and taking off the lense it just cracked.
Powderface Trail in Kananaskis Country, Alberta. I prefer the right ones. The halo is a nice modern touch while still being tasteful.
Looks nice, makes me wish I was back in Northern Idaho where there are actual trees and mountains, not in middle ID flatness for college. I can't just go for drives on Forest Service roads anymore. I'm split between the middle and right one. I like the right one more, I'm just concerned that the halo will go out of style.
That's something I really wish I could do. Shockingly small amount of service roads and stuff in east Tennessee, despite all of the trees.
I feel sorry for you. It's nice to just go drive without an exact destination. There are so many FS roads around here that you can explore one mountain for days. You can camp within 50 ft of any road too so it makes for some great multiple day camping/offroading.
We're lucky here in western Canada. From where I'm staying, you just have to drive an hour outside a city of 1.4 million and suddenly there are amazing roads and trails for as far as you want to go. The coast, where I live, is a little more difficult simply because the terrain puts up a lot more natural barriers, but even in the ~1,000km² I have access to without getting on a boat there's a lot of fun to be had. This is why I'm so torn between a car and a 4x4. I would certainly love to go exploring everywhere in a small SUV, but I don't know if I could justify the cost of putting gas in one.
As long as you get something small to mid sized it shouldn't be too bad. A XJ Cherokee or an older 4Runner would both be great little offroaders and still get decent gas milage, high teens to low 20s according to google. It only becomes bad when you get something bigger like my family's FJ80 or potato's Yukon.
Perhaps a Subaru Forester type thing could work for you? Four wheel drive and a some ground clearance with "not terrible" fuel economy. Either that or a Suzuki Jimny. Bet one of those could be a tonne of fun, short wheel base too.
