Decisions - Griff or another Chim?
Discussion
Ive only been out of the seat of my old Chim for 5 months and im already thinking about the next one as i miss it sooooo much.
Weve decided that we need a Conv so that rules out a Cerby but now im faced with the decision of whether or not its going to be a Chimaera 500 or a Griff 500.

If its within your price range, why not try a Tamora?
If TonyRec test drove a Tam, I don't think he'd want a Griff or Chim, it's a scarey thought!
Either or really Tony, they're all great, what you could do is have another roof panel made with flashing lights, so it could be a part time fast pursute (sp!) vehicle, great way to stretch it's proverbial legs
It depends whether you plan to start wearing all-in-one leathers open to reveal you chest wig and unfeasibly large medallion while constantly telling everyone how your car is better than one that's the same but with different body and a larger boot.
Alternatively, if you just intend to enjoy driving it you'll get another Chim
.
PS: Have you thought of nicking MM a few times. You might get you old one back on the cheap if he hits 12 points.

.TBH assuming that 'they' are right and the griffith is actually a better driver's car, it's only a slight difference in the real world surely, and as I much prefer the looks of a chimaera I'd go for that and just get a 5 litre version if I wanted more power. In the real world the only real difference is going to be the design...

It was only a matter of time, but to be honest, I really thought Dusty would get in there first.
Er, I thought we just had this argument....... yet again:

Not that reading it will help much

Tony
Come on down and have a go in mine - take it out for the afternoon.
You will be converted, I assure you
Especially with all the extra fun to be had from the P404 cam, decatted and sleeved exhaust, remapped and chipped ECU etc etc.
Give me a call and make your booking - you will not be disappointed!

On the boring side, I think that as time goes on the residuals on a Griff will hold up better as there are so few of them by comparison.
There are fewer Chim 500s than Griff 500s.Putting all the 'heated' discussions on other threads to one side re. Chim -v- Griff, I think if I was in your shoes I'd be seriously tempted to try out a Griff having previously owned a Chim. I'm not as keen on their looks but I'd welcome the change in driving experience. And if the Griff didn't 'float my boat' I'd go back to the Chim...or Tamora...or Tuscan...!

Its not big or clever and is petty and childish.
And your point is?
Well someone was sure to say it at some point so I thought I'd do them a favor and save their time!
By a Griff, Chims are for girls.
(Something to do with the softness making it easier to put makeup on and the big boot for shopping and shoes).
