If you're on about sidewinds, I didn't think the F suffered as much as the TF and wasn't too bad, at least that was what Sharky said a few days ago.

 

This threads asking for trouble :lol:

I dont know about the F,but on the TF,I have to say that Ive found that it is affected by gusting side winds,of the non trouser variety of course.
Much worse than any other car Ive owned,but nothing dramatic though.

 

Strange - I was really impressed with how much better my TF felt in 45 degree xwinds than my F ever did. The increased front valance seemed to make a real difference and the wheel/tyre combination seemed to work with the suspension and quicker rack.

On the F I had been about to start the search for a splitter or airdam.
Two long runs up the Rhone valley (almost always windy) in the TF were far more relaxed than the previous trips in the F. 15" wheels, Contis, handbook pressures for the first year and 15" TOYOs at handbook pressures the 2nd time.

 

Ive found the TF alot more stable than the F when driving in windy conditions

 

I've also had problems with sidewinds in the TF, when It first happened I neary created the trouser variety. But it would be a good idea to make sure the hood is down to aid the cabin enviroment if you have problems (not that I do) with trouser wind.

Welcome back!

Thank you the chipmunk has returned!! :beer2:

 

he he. The TF is affected by the wind but not too bad IMO. the biggest hassle is when those huge trucks come in the opposite direction (i.e. drive passed in the opposite lane) while your going faster then its a bit strange

 

When I get mine, I dare say my passengers may have a problem with wind!

way to go !!!!! you will make a good MG owner. Don't moan, JFDI.

 

Fingers crossed I collect my MG next week. You'll soon know when i've got it!!

 

yes mate the F is very very bad on the windy motorway, my last car was a mk3 tdci mondeo estate, and was totally uneffected by the wind.

iv just order a front splitter for mine see what happens after, i will report back after some testing has been done.

 

I tested this not so long ago, I'm a little mad though. Severn bridge in very windy conditions, so windy the old bridge was closed, i was travelling (ummm) at a figure i can not disclose as i would be told off. I felt i had to keep both hands on the wheel and i was a little worried with a car so light but if i am truthful it wasn't too bad, i have felt worse usually on cars that aren't as low as my TF.

 

i know i dont drive an F or a TF but my 200 is a right cow to keep in my lane when its really windy :lol: quite scary sometomes

 

I sometimes have problems with wind.....However, taking 2 of these an hour before your journey should prevent and windy issues...
