Crikey, you don't miss a trick to you!? The previous owner was a bloke Also careful... and a PH member so be careful what you say about our driving styles.

The lengths people go to, so they can listen to Radio 4 with the roof off innit, wikkid!

I know, I know, I really should change it to TVR_Girl before the next one arrives! Having discussed this idea over a few beers at the weekend with some of the Northern PH gang, I've been firmly told that I'm not allowed to change it! :sigh:

[mustard]

You forgot to mention the 'Stay Clean' paintwork....

Leeds to Worcester in December and it was perfectly clean!.....Amazing

[chim_girl]

[quote=mustard]All I need to do now is find the everlasting petrol switch.

[barefoot]

I can vouch for the car and the £3,000 stereo cos it was me that had it installed by the factory!







That price did not include fitting! If anyone off here buys the car I have just recently found my photos of it being built if they want them.

I can assure you it's a good un....

[chim_girl]

Thanks

It is a great car, I've had lots of fun with it for the last year, I'm going to be sad when it goes.

Are you sure? Boxster_Girl has a nice ring to it.

Seriously Jo, good luck with the sale. I think you have priced it very competitively. I would be tempted myself but I already have one!

I'd say that is a bargain for both some 'rock' and 'roll' all in the same package.

[chumley]

Aargh, so tempted by this Jo.

The seeds were sewn when we were chatting at Bolton Abbey. Sarah seemed rather keen too but sadly we may be out of fun-car ownership for 6-12 months

Should know in the next couple of months or so (hence I'm tending to try stay away from these pages at the moment - too much talk of Yorks PH'ers buying new machinery).

Good luck with the sale, looking forward to seeing the replacement...

Blimey, I wasn't expecting to read that. I thought you'd just started a new job, congratulations BTW.

[chumley]

Thanks, yep job's fine, just thinking of parting with the Chim until me & sarah get ourselves in the same location.

I'm struggling to justify the costs of fortnightly round trips to Surrey plus the commute to Halifax every day. If Sarah can't get a move up here in the near future I'm tempted to part with the car & put the money we'll save into something special again in 6-12 months. As you know, I've been aching for a Tam since a certain somebody arranged an impromtu test drive...!

[basil brush]

The Tuscan will do about 28mpg on a run so you could buy it and save money.

Hmm... ...

The cost of insuring the Tuscan was less than the Chimaera....

[basil brush]

Sold!

Right, pack it in you lot. I've had sleepless nights weighing up the pro's and cons of selling up & having a sensible six months or so and don't need confusing further!

Plan is: sell car, run something (more)sensible whilst still doing the Surrey runs, then once the missus is working up here I withdraw the vast sum of money I've religiously been putting away every month & spend it on a Tamora. Well, that's the plan...

All suggestions for sub £10k sensible-ish-but-fun-ish motor as a temporary replacement are welcome. Thinking Alfa 147 or possibly a well looked-after Impreza (if I can find one).

Get a Tuscan, incredibly sensible, goes like stink and it heaps of fun. Instead of a 10k workhorse spend 2 to 3k on something from the auction, Toyata Avensis, Mundano etc to pile the miles on and not worry about where you leave it. Sorted.

Have I also mentioned that a Tuscan makes you irresistable to woman and is sure to get you a payrise and a promotion?

In that case Cash or Draft?

It'll cost you as much to run a scooby as a Tuscan. The insurance on them is crazy, and they use a lot of juice.

Go on, you know you want to.
