I'm almost back where i belong

[Nick P]

Some of you may remember a post i put up a few motnhs ago, saying how i sold my Chim last year and how i was desperate to get back 'into the fold'.....well......

After 517 long painful days away from TVR ownership (yes, i actually counted)

It looks like tomorrow I will become the proud owner of a TVR Chimaera once again.

I've had to go for a slightly older one, but hey.....just owning the badge is enough.

After test driving a total lemon a couple of days ago, i was having second thoughts, but I seem to have found a good, genuine example with lots of the usual problems sorted...i.e. cooling kit, leven upgrades etc etc.



Roll on tomorrow, and keep your fingers X'd for me, so i'll be able to smile once again.

the latter i suspect.

i'm giving up my ultra reliable German flagship for an older british sports car that leaks.....am i mad?

Probably....but it does have that badge on it

and makes that noise

Woo hoo Nick! Really pleased for you. I wish I could do the same but I've blown all my cash on a 1995/M Vauxhall Astra 1.4 GLS.

Have fun!

*has twinge of jealousy*


thanks....although the M3 is a cracking car, my heart lies with TVR.

I've not got what i really want i.e. a Tuscan or T350, but having an older Chim will have to do for the next few years

*note to self* :learn to be more grateful
