GOT THE CAR!! CERTAINLY GOT THE GRIN!!!!

[anita]

Impressive eh...less than a week after deciding 'the Audi is history' I have test driven a number of TVRs and bought my own....had the test drives scheduled for Sat but couldn't wait that long so did it on Friday and bought my own today!!!'

The poor guy & his wife turned up in it and left on a train back home (we dropped him at the station)!!

And I am the happy owner of a lovely deep red Tamora....and took it out for its first drive as its owner this afternoon...to Henley...

Wow do I have lots to learn but I am already enjoying driving it so much!!!!

Now I sit here knackered with a huge glass of wine...haven't slept properly all week waiting for today and I am bloody exhausted but happy as hell!!

Well done Anita! You will love it always!

Just remember to adhere to the warming up procedures for Speed 6 engines and check the oil and water regularly and she should look after you!

Again well done

[kieran]

Congratualtions Anita, great choice, I've had my baby for a whole seven days now and it just gets better!

...and we have the whole spring and summer to look forward too

[anita]

Hiya! So what cerbie do you have? Boyfriend is thinking of changing to a Serbie....

How does the Serbie compare to the Tuscan?

[nubbin]

Is it just me, or are Tamoras suddenly becoming very popular?

BTW - Anita, welcome to the somewhat exclusive club of Tamora owners!

[anita]

Thanks Nubbin!

Yes they do seem to be getting popular! Still haven't seen another on the road though....;-)

Love it!!

Not likely to see one unless you're in the London/SE area - I think mine's the only one in Yorkshire!!

Nice choice! Best advice I can give as from only sampling these machines from the passenger seat is give it some johnny large potatoes...

Yeah, I thought the same Mungo. Below 3-4K it sounds like a diesel but boy does it come on from there. Bit different to my Griff where it's all done by 5k.

We love it though. Looking forward to a good blast in it tomorrow. Handling and steering is sharp, have no doubt it is quicker point to point than mine or much else........other than your Supra R of course

Is that because the driver did or didn't??!!

[anita]

So Mungo...I hear that you are a ladies man...so why aren't you out on the pull...or have you already and are keeping her waiting...?!!

... and I'm too knackered for any of that malarky right now - back to car's...

Either I've had one too many sherberts tonight or, the boy has traded downhill ski-ing for uphill gardening!!


NB Nice choice Anita....glad you're sorted.

Really - did you get a drive? Imagine not as you probably would have been smitten!

A few looks from the neighbours this am with two TVRs in the drive!!

So what's the plan now?

Me...predictable...taking the new toy out for a blast!!

[captain honesty]

Nice one! I had the same thought! Almost drove past it last night in fact!!

[chris watton]

I didn’t get to drive it,, I just kept the new ad notification in my inbox, as the Tam looked great in that colour, and the price was great too!! We are going to trade in our Chim 450 for a Tam at some point, as it seems the most natural progression up the TVR ladder, (although we still LOVE the Chim coupled with the great 4.5 V8)
We will keep looking, I haven't drove one yet, but I'm sure it's great, and I don't want to drive one yet as I'll probably want one there and then, as is what happened with the Chim
