Calling Silverback Mike
Discussion
YOU ARE IN DANGER OF BUYING A NEWER TVR - I can tell!
The problemo is that Mike ain't been on a proper cluck / hoon yet with the boyos, you didn't come on the invasion either which was a laugh. Individually the newer cars (chimps etc) do seem like a good deal until you find out the price of the insurance, tyres, parts, servicing etc are much more expensive. Also when you do eventually meet up with a car park full of other chimp owners you then appreciate what owning a wedge car is all about....
I myself was even thinking about it before Dicky brought me to my senses by letting me have a go of his SEAC, the lure of brakes that work, nice clean leather, shiney wheels, loads of space for the golf bats in the boot is sometimes quite strong......
Come around my house have a go in the 450SE and that will put you back on the straight and narrow.
Save as many pennies as you can and get the biggest, loudest, baddest wedge you can find and stop messing about. And hurry up as the sun is out! ;-)

Couldn't have put it better myself.
Spot on
I went to see this one recently Mike,
www.pistonheads.com/sales/76343.htm
Very nice interior, and mechanically very good. I would say it is the fastest normally aspirated 400 I've been in. Not quite as fast as Adam's 400sx though. It's not fair on the seller to mention why I didn't buy it. The seller was a real nice guy, I really can't beleive this one hasn't sold, as it really is a lot of car for the money. Incidentally, If you buy it I'll give you £500 for the 400SE dash - it really is a nice one.

P.S. Mike, I can't access my email for some reason, but are you still on for Saturday?

Hi Jim,
I was very tempted with the red one, and would have gone for it had the blue one not been so good at a very good price (dealer px price) It's been in a de humidified garage up on blocks most winters, and is excellent, so decided to go for it.
Saturday, still on.
I can't get any time off work, I have spoken to Dave who is happy for you to leave the car at his place (bs32OAP)He can then take it into his garage on Sunday. I won't get home before 1800 ish. (Something to do with a football tournament
)
I have sent you an email, and do agree, not wise to buy yourself a hoofing great bike just yet!!!
Regards,
Mike
