Very nice,did they all need rebuilds or was it piece of mind? The T350 with the 4.5 must be some car.

Cerb had the chocolate crankshaft and let go in France hence 2002 engine

T350 I got at a reasonable price and knew before I bought it that I would put a bigger engine in as I did not like the revy 3.6 and it had no torque but now the powers 4.5 is such a joy to drive low down torgue and just plods along in traffic and just burbles along on the motor way at 70mph with ease but when you hit the loud pedal it just flies and to be honest and runs for cover it really could do with Doms ECU traction control but I will try and not get one

Griff
Had a flat spot and turned out to be worn camshaft so bit the bullit and thought sod it car is so nice and up together get engine rebuilt no point fecking about

Nah.... Mines only the baby 6.0 litre version............

As for Mart, I offered to take him for a run in it a few weeks back.... And he ran away to his Mrs cryinghehe.

Never heard so many excuses...I'm not a good passenger, it's a bit damp, I've got a bad back, I need to be somewhere else, I haven't got any clean underwear with me......roflrofl

I agree I'm a bad passenger, I will have a blast in your Griff next week.My dad said years ago I wouldn't be able to handle a V8, i proved him wrong. wink

Love the Tamora, feels like a new car compared to the Chimaera.Had a boring 3 hour motorway drive home though, average speed cameras and wet roads.Roll on the weekend so I can take it for a drive if it's dry.I had a chance of buying a Tamora 18 months ago,18 months wasted.
