don't get all loyal now, you were saying that you wished you had carried on saving and bought a griff the other day

The cat (or puppy) is out of the bag!

I do cherish my S and I've had it for ....must be nearly 3 years now but I've been hankering after a Chim for a long time. The S has been a superb car and it has been used (a lot) which has really helped keep it in good condition, I know that does sound a bit strange but as we all know if you tuck the S away in the garage unused it will start to protest and want frequent attention!

It's not just the S that is going, my daily car will have to go too. My Passat is no ordinary car either, it's rather sporty in looks and performance. It's a little modified and nearly as quick as the Tiv ...not bad for a diesel!

It seems silly to have 3 cars when my wife and I work at the same location, so I will sacrifice my two for another nice later Tiv to use most days.

It will be a sad day when the S goes!

not quite... I left my S to over-winter outside under a cover for around 7 months without use.. I didn't even charge the battery and she fired up just fine.

Now the Chimaera on the other hand.. If I left that alone for anything over 10 days I'd have yet another minor niggly problem to sort out.. and it normally woldn't start either..

Matt.
S2 to Chimaera to S1.

KentishS2 fella - nice car, and I'd be interested had TVR purchasing plans not been put on hold until the end of the summer.

One question - am I being fick, or does your car appear to be riding rather high?
