Today I part exchanged my beautiful TVR Chimaera 450 for a Ferrari 355, and have held on to my first edition of the 'Bible' (see www.tvrbooks.co.uk). As I don't really need it I have decided to give it away to someone on PH. I'm paying for the postage so to get it completely free you're going to have to prove that you own either a Chimaera or a Griffith, which means a little bit of work.

I need to see a picture of you sitting in the driver's seat of your car (which must be either a Chimaera or a Griffith) with a teaspoon in your left hand, and a sign in your right hand. The roof must be off (targa allowed), and written on the sign should be a clearly legible message saying "Please give me your bible".

First one to reply to this thread with a working link or inlined picture gets it.

I'll post to the UK only.

Now is there anyone keen enough to do that....

Cheers,
Richard.

A generous offer no doubt, an out of date secondhand book with free postage. What a shame you had to spoil it by trying making people beg for it.
I bet you were the one that always got picked on at school

To be fair it would still be worth having, and worth a tenner. Not eating fish for it though!

I guess this just goes to show that not everyone has the same sense of humour.

Never mind.

I thought it was funny. Don't worry about the Humourless Ones. But I already have a Bible. And a Chimaera.

As there were no takers, and to kill the controversy over whether it was actually funny or not, I'll send it to Shredder as he's a new owner and that seems a fitting place for it to go.

Shredder, please e-mail me through my profile with your mailing address. Can't promise you'll see it before Christmas, but it will be on its way.

I didn't mean to wind any of you up...

Richard.

I'd do all that for a Ferrari 355 - give me more details.

PS You're not a Gideon are you?

No, but maybe if the Gideon used a tvrbooks Bible instead of the sort they use now, the world would be a better place!

If it hadn't been so snowy outside, I'd have taken a picture of me in the Chim with a loaf of bread on my head & a bottle of milk in my hand, and a "Church of the holy Chimaera" sign.

Already have a bible though...

OK, let’s test your sense of humour theory. According to “simpo two” the value of the book is £10 so I will forward a cheque to you (made payable to any charity) for £10 if you choose to take me up on the following:

To get the cheque/cheques I need to see a picture (with a working link or inlined picture) of you sitting in the driver's seat of your car (which must be either a Chimaera/Griffith/F355) with a teaspoon in your left hand, and a sign in your right hand. The roof can be off if possible, and written on the sign should be a clearly legible message saying "Please give me your cheque."

The above offer is also applies to anyone who has posted above who seriously believes this was a joke (one cheque each screen name).

Surely anyone with a sense of humour would not deny a charity this money at Christmas? Merry Christmas to all, closing date 31/12/2003
