Congrats

Another one for Allan then!? He's had good commission these past few months out of us lot hasn't he...... that is providing you guys didn't strike a deal as good as mine was, and actually left him with some profit margin!

You wish. I was informed the margin on a new T350 is around 5k+, so after discounted a few grand they're still above water.

Trefor - I saw the receipt for what they paid for my car to bring it into stock, and of course I know what i paid for it. Trust me, it was a GOOOOOD deal.

I think mine will match anyone's on here. I had given up all hope of disposing of my Mercedes (indeed until today I was keeping it for the next 46 months).

Is anyone going to help me post pictures?

I didn't go to the Factory. The factory emailed the photos to the dealer.

Sorry Kevin, didn't realise you meant when I was at Peninsula. I didn't go there either. All done over the phone and based on a test drive 24 months ago, when Richard Mayo was in sales.

Looks stunning. Nice to see the convertible Tuscan II in the background too. Wonder when they will be ready?

She's a beauty! Interesting to see the Tuscan style seats and the black finish head as well-signs of continual refinement. Old Nick looks like he is delivering on the promises.

I both love and hate these posts with equal measure, I love them because its always great when we have a new member to the exclusive little 'club', but also, I hate the fact that it makes me was to buy a brand new one, and I keep convincing myself that I need a new Tam!!! lol

Chris you have a lovely Tamora - how old is it as a matter of interest?

If it was 3 yrs old I am sure we could come up with some sort of justification for a new purchase for you.

Thank you
My Tam is just over 3 now, but it didnt seem to be used at all during 2003!
it's never let me down, and TBH, I think it would be too much for me bear to be told of its trade in value, spent loads on it (satnav, reversing camera, c/r box, front end respray,,,,,,,), and my head tell me that a new one will not give me any better experience when driving it, so what we may do is keep the Tam, keep the Clio 1.2 and buy a little car for chan, Clio 182 or MX5 (she wanted an S2000 but the insurance is more than the Tam! ) Nothing's set in stone though, and when I look at your superb looking example, I start to drool!

Hi folks, yes, we've finally gone for a Tamora, and I'm also looking forward to it, although I only really start grinning like an eejit when the car is actually ours.

I have to admit it was a bit of a curveball when she announced she was looking for a Tamora again, but you have to admit those factory pics look pretty good.

I drove our Boxster mostly when we had it, and loved it - can't wait to pick it up.

The first day I drive it into work though.....I is gonna get it ripped out of me big stylee!!
