There is going to be one area of modification needed for members in the UMCC club 
You will need easy access to your smoking jacket ,pipe and slippers
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a smoking jacket these days?You will need easy access to your smoking jacket ,pipe and slippers
For that matter, to buy a decent pipe, or a good pair of men's slippers?
Probably a damned sight easier than making your tyres fit though, from what I can see

Not my tyres but a certain Jammy D....r .. He has gone to the extreme of modifacations.
It has been noted that Mr JD is certainly one of the most unholy of the unholys.He must be nearly ready to drive it by now surely?
On the plus side if I dare mention it, I'm only waiting for a throttle body gasket kit from the states and my car will be, (short of a remap!) finished..........for now

That's good news Peter..I imagine that even the heavily modified Chimaeras are more fun to drive, than to work on.
Yes, even I will wish you luck in the last furlong
Jeez I think I'm in, original front end but going through engine re build as we speak, 4.6 cross bolted crank, all standard every where, oupps I've just had an alley rad fitted, am I in or out I'm confused, lol. Mines a 2000 model and as she was meant to be, black hoses for a start! Mind you customising is different from modifiying? There all customised from day one!

Think you fit the MMCC - Mildly Moist Chimaera Club (or whatever the inbetween one is)Get in there, I've never joined a splinter group before, feels great to know that there are others who think there car is just right as it is, Nout wrong with polishing your rocket mind? These plastic chambers you can buy, get a grip it's foul, keep it in thinking and it's fine. Adapt the original if you want more flow! Dom does a lovely number, ha ha ha, I've wanted a brand new motor for years and now me tiv will have one, see you on a sprint, country lane, beach road soon, yee ha.
