[jvr]

Put chim on market nearly sold it,one to trade and then private then thought NO NO NO,can't do it.
Its stupid i'm not using it that much but I just can't sell it,its like one of the family and what else for the money replaces it.
So i'm keeping her


Anyone else done the same?

Absolutely! I've got mine advertised on here and am quietly hoping I don't get any interest. If it sells, it'll be the third TVR I've regretted letting go! I just don't get to use it hardly at all - but I'm not sure I'll cope with seeing the empty space in the garage.

Dilemmas!!

Good decision !

I've said goodbye to four good ones now. WHY ?

I have this situation at the moment...if I give my Chimera up to my ex....will replace it asap though......but with what?

Replacing the ex or the car?

What you like!
Stick on tow behind the motorhome and take it for a drive when there!

Everytime I have sold one of my Tiv's in the past it has only been a matter of a few weeks before I have utterly regretted it.
Yes, they have occassionally played up and yes they can put a dent in your wallet on occassion but life without one -the pleasure you get by just starting it up or giving it a thorough clean and a wax on the driveway- is just missing something. It's hard to explain.

Consequently, I have always returned to the fold. The added problem of course, is that when you realise what you have done and you do the inevitable i.e console yourself by going any buying another one (!), it might not be as good as the one you sold in the first place. So it's a classic lose lose situation.

Dont do it!!

Ha Ha you are funny..........no ex is staying ex!!! but if he gets the car in the settlement I will replace for another TVR wondering whether to have a change from the Chimera...

Really twist the knife in him and buy a Cerbera. Then drive it past his house every day

A faster, better sorted, more thunderous (decat anyone? ) Chimaera, of course.

My pattern: Consider selling; Sell; Enjoy new wheels; Notice other TVRs on the road; Drool; Pine; Mope; Buy new TVR. Happiness restored. Repeat.
Then ask. Why sell? So will not. Almost certainly, will not sell.

Use more, use more, use more = smiles more. I use mine most days now even though I do not live far from work but that means I have to go the long way round.
Citroen C3 looking very neglected though.

Ha Ha ....what a really good idea...especially as the Chimera has to go to Kerridges on Monday as the immobiliser has gone
