How long did you last without a TVR?
Discussion
I sold my T350 in July and am cruising the motorways in comfort in an XKR. I can't fault the Jag at all for comfort, power and surprisingly mpg. But....well it is not the same.
I lasted about a year between my Chim and Tam. I think there may be some form of TVR addiction that you cannot throw off. I am showing an unhealthy interest in the classifieds: Quite a few nice examples of Chims out there at good prices. How long has anyone lasted Tiv-less before they cracked and bought their next one?

Lasted about 6 months between my first one, a 350i, and second, a Chimaera. Sold the Chim 14 months ago thinking that was it. However, as someone else said they get into your blood as last weekend I found myself viewing a S1 and am currently biding on another S1. So 14 months so far and can't wait to get my hands on another one.
Hello chaps,
I bought my Griff on my 30th birthday. I had a 400Se before that but always hankered after the 500 and bought one of the last ones. I went everywhere in it including my honeymoon, where it let me down in a very nice part of the French Alpes, only to be left by the side of the road whilst me and Mrs. Winstone carried on our honeymoon on the TGV to Paris courtesy of AA Insurance. Sadly the car had to go in October 2006 due to needing money. I was distraught to say the least. I sold it to a chap in Elgin (I live in Arundel) and said if he ever wanted to sell it to let me know. Nine months later I saw it for sale on here and 'phoned him straight away and said I'd buy it back. In the months after selling it I had been trawling the classifieds to find another Griff as good as mine and I think it was fate that it came up for sale again. I think it is an addiction that can never been shaken, I even look for the 400SE which I traded in at Hawthorns in Farnham to buy the Griff. That was a beauty too and was centrefold in Classic Car a while back. It is just sad that no more Blackpool TVRs will be made anymore.

Sold my Tuscan 3 years ago to use the money for something else. It didn't happen. My wife took pity on me 3 weeks later (I was apparently wasting away 
) and suggested we went to Harrogate for the day. We went past the Tiv dealer and popped in to have a look. Needless to say what happened next!!.
They just get into your blood and that't it.
I'd have to be in real dire straights to part with her now.

The Sagaris has been in my Garage for a while now (waiting parts) and tbh its driving me nuts.. I want to drive it but can`t 
My Tuscan is in the same state and i know what you mean about missing it.I'll sell the Tuscan in a couple of years probably...... to buy a Sagaris next.
Unless something goes really tit's up, i'll never be without a Tiv again.
