Hi all,

I've just joined pistonheads as a regular on many other car forums, and plan to buy a TVR Chimaera in the next few months. I'm currently a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V owner and will be selling my car shortly to get some fund towards the TVR.

I'll be lurking across the TVR threads reading and hopefully learning a few things on the way, so thanks for your hospitality and your patience with me!

Cheers, Jetset Ron

Big Al.

Welcome!

It's all true! They can be frustrating, wilful machines, but just cannot be beaten for smiles per mile.
Roof down, balmy summer evening and a clear road (rose tinted spec's <OFF>) and you WILL have the permagrin.

Welcome to TVRdom !

To give you an idea what to expect, I used the Griff to go to work this morning. It was pitch dark, chucking it down and generally miserable. I didn't go over the speed limit, just took it nice and easy. And you know what ? It was the best drive I've had so far this year.

Imagine how good they are when it's dry, light and useable ?

Good luck !!

I think that sums it up rather well. More fun sat in a traffic jam than most cars on pristine blacktop.

Thanks for all the replies, i'm looking forwards to getting involved in the joys of TVR's and the track days etc.

To be honest i'm looking forwards to all the tinkering it's gonna need, the Evo is just a little too reliable!

Cheers smile
