For one reason and another my Chimarea has been tucked up in a nice warm garage for over 3 weeks now,and tonight i took the cover of and crossed my fingers!

Turned the key and the fuel pump primed. Crossed my toes and turned her over.I shouldnt have worried because it started up with a real angry growl..........wanted to take it for a spin but sadly, it was raining.

Pleased that the rumour isnt true that if you leave them in a garage for 2 weeks then you need the AA to get it started.

Mungo's probably dreaming about what he can charge coffee drinkers with.


Drinking coffee with intent: 12 months
Drinking coffee noisily: 3 months solitary
Drinking coffee in a public place: public flogging
Drinking coffee at teatime: execution

Mines been at the garage for some service and repair work for nearly 2 weeks now. Can't wait to get in and turn the key again, hopefully later this week.

Tis true if u have a V8S and you leave the battery connected and the boot shut coz Big Ben runs it flat inside a couple of weeks ....unless u have another to jump start it from of course.

Don't know about that, got mine off the axle stands, first time in three weeks on Friday. Turned the key, primed it, turned the key onto the next stage, two revolutions of the crank and hey presto instant thunder .

No mate, I said TVR not Chim! If I bought a TVR again it would be a Griff or a Big bad Wedge

No! It's just a fast hatchback that happens to be quicker than some "sports cars"
