Just put my deposit down on a 450 Chim, spent ages thinking about a Nissan 350Z and a 964 911 but in the end nothing felt as special as the TVR! It's a beast and in brilliant condition so i'm chuffed to bits, just hope petrol prices don't rise anymore!

See you all at Le Mans!

Congrats Mate..

If it makes you feel any better about the petrol thing, Ive a 450 and i bought an oldish ('93) BMW 525 sport for shopping n lugging stuff around.
The beemer is apparently able to do 27mpg.

Anyway, the point is i actually get around 23mpg in the Chim and 19 in the beemer.
So my Chim is now my economy car!

welcome to the silly grin club,
now you drive a top sports car who gives a sh*t about the price of petrol,
the grins price less.

23? More than enough methinks. After all its what the petrol would have wanted.
