The last 2 mornings the wife and I have left for work at the same time. I've been going off on business so have been using the tin top and she has been driving the Chimaera.
For the first 5 miles our journeys follow the same route (those of you who know where I live will understand why) and I have to say the Chimaera is far and away the best looking beast on the road - by a country mile.
There are a couple of XK8's, a Ferrari and some other stuff we generally pass but nothing comes near the presence and poise of the Chimaera on the road.
From any angle in any light that car is simply stunning and none of us should forget it.

OK self congratulatory mode off. Just remember though, we drive them all the time and may get a little complacent with the fact, enjoy one and all!

PS. Even better when you can hear them 2 cars back, with the windows up and the radio on Wifey was good enough to encourage some serious pops and bangs too - Good Girl!

superb. Its nice sometimes to see what your own car looks like from other people's perspective. Went on the Hants run last night and seeing the other Chims on the road was great to see how other people see my car.

must sort out an evening soon Mark

Without doubt Phil, I haven't forgotten mate. Where does the time go!?

Am I too busy following my own car around?

Does my bum look big in this?

It was nice a few weeks ago to swap cars with racegirl and get her to gun it past me out on the open road

I led the convoy up the A32 last night then slowed down on the A31 to let most of them past they all looked and sounded superb as they went by! they looked good in the rear view mirror a couple of miles down the road as well you can`t beat the sound of the V8.

To break with tradition - here's the front of my Chim'
Naturally I'm biased, but I think she's gorgeous.
