I'm sitting at work, unable to think straight, butterflies in the stomach, grinning stupidly. Yep, today I pick up my Tamora. It's a beautiful, cold frosty sunny morning here in the People's Republic of South Yorkshire...Just the day for a top down winter jaunt. Bloody hell, I wish it was lunchtime!! How are you feeling, flasher?

I've got that sick in the tummy feeling you get when you are really excited. Got the cheque this morning and I'm like a silly kid.

I could always get it tonight......

Hell, I'm bloody excited just reading these build-up's so I really don't know what you are going through. Now, let me think back to Christmas Eve when I was 6.

I must buy another right now.

GOT IT!!!!!! It's bloody fantastic!! I'm in love with a piece of machinery. It looks just gorgeous, the interior is perfect, the noise is a race-engine machine noise, there's no rattles, no loose trim. The dials work perfectly, I just need to get my driving postion right (the steering column is telescopic, as well as rake adjustable.) I might have the pedal box moved a bit, there's bags of room for legs, loads of seat adjustment. The ally knobs etc. just look the business!

I haven't had chance to suss out the instrument readout yet, so I'll be esconsed in my garage tonight with the handbook. Bit of a bummer having to return to work, but it's sat outside waiting for me. The turning circle is not too bad, better than the Chimaera, but it's no taxi!! The little lights front and rear look wicked, and it's way better to look at in the fleash. No photo does justice to the shape. GET ONE. JUST GET ONE!!!! :

Yeah, think he sounds quite pleased! Have only seen one in the flesh and wasn't able to walk all the way round it to appreciate the shape. It was parked up in a corner at TVR Barnet. Some of the pics don't/won't do it justice ...

Well done nubbin!

nubbin, you lucky b*stard!!!!

I've got 36 hours to go

I won't sleep now and I haven't slept properly all week, I have never been so excited even when I thought I was getting a Raleigh Grifter for Christmas when I was 12

It's valentines day, now what shall I buy the Tamora? A nice cover?

(good job the Missus doesn't come on here )

Nubbin, at last, glad you're happy!
Now you know how I've been feeling for the past few weeks.
Just wait until it's run in, you're smile will get even bigger!
Cheers........ Andrew
