Ok, I know the list is long, however, more specifically, I don't get this, what is happening to me?

I love my TVRs, I love my TVR 350s. I had one, I sold my S to get one. The only reason I traded her in for a Chimaera was because I couldn't find a 400SE or 450SE that I liked at the time.

BUT, now when I peruse the classifieds to see what good value they are, I look at the pictures and am not impressed. They just don't grab me as they used to. So what is wrong with me? I know in my heart that they are beautiful beasts, yet when I look at them now, I don't want one.

Help.

You need to drive one again, rather than just looking at them?

The bad news is I have, and I needed stronger lenses................

I don't want to drive one - I worry that it look or won't feel as good as I remember.

So drive one. I thought the same about a Corvette C4 I had in 1994. I thought there was never going to be any going back but my mate bought one and I drove it and loved every second. Not sure I still covet one but then as you get older, you do mature....a bit.

The styling for most is showing it's age, now...

Maybe it's the part of you brain that doesn't want to die in a plastic bathtub, going backwards, on fire, screaming.

I have a 5.0 Chimaera, so it can't be that...
