I'll have a Chimaera with Honda build quality and reliability please

I bought my Chimaera before my friend bought his S2000 (about 3 years ago), so far he's had a new gearbox, clutch and ECU troubles. I've had a new battery.

Glad to hear you are enjoying it Garlic

Fair enough, but if you are suggesting with the little rolly eyes that we should extrapolate out your experience and decide that TVRs are more reliable than Hondas... Well, I don't think you've got a glittering career in bookmaking ahead of you.

I only want the one that produces flames.

Oh nice car collection btw Garlick, i do feel that if you ever sell any of these, there is going to be alot of interest from PH members after reading the amounts that you spend on them!!

"1 careful owner"

"...who sold it to Garlick"

[noclue]

Your a legend G, any time my wife whinges about me having too many old ugly cars that I spend too much on I have you as a perfect example to direct her to as to how bad it really could be! lol!

Now your putting words in my mouth, I was comparing one performance car with another, you weren't, chill out.

C'mon, I think if TVRs were as reliable as Hondas this would still be a TVR fan site and Nikolai would still be playing with his Dinkys.

TVRs are what they are - gloriously loud, brash, quick, english and unreliable. C'est la vie - I'd still buy a Speed Six in a heartbeat, given a trust fund.

Great choice of Chimaera Garlick- lovely colour scheme. I too got a sports exhaust fitted to my chim which sounds superb although my girlfriend hates it. I expect she'll hate it even more when we drive to tuscany soon!

I do hope everyone reading that observed that the Porsche had more problems than the TVR.

The Porsche is about 20 years old - metal, plastic and rubber only lasts a certain period of time :-)

Just re-read the issue with the 944 vs the TVR by Garlick and I think the TVR looses surely?

TVR - exhaust manifold, lights, window wipers and boot release.
Porsche - leaves and gunk clogging up drainage holes.

Hmmmm I think Porsche wins :-)

I'm afraid not, but with a name like ours we must be related somewhere along the line.

How about Leighton Garlick from Lymington?
Nice fleet

[Zumbruk]

What a fine, fine collection of motor cars. I've owned all of them at one time or another, but sadly not at the same time (TVR and Disco at the moment). I commend your taste.
