I am so envious of your open, (by comparison) roads.

Went out with wifey yesterday, beautiful drive around our fantastic Surrey lanes, marred only by about a million cyclists! I bloody hate cyclists...........

Oh, and did I mention the wimpy car drivers that won't pass them unless they have 20ft clearance and half a mile vision in front! I bloody hate them too..........

I like it best when there 3 abreast blocking the full road

We had a lot of Lycra clad cycle gang's round our way but they seem to have thinned out a bit this year, hopefully it was a bit of a fad

It’s one thing I love about having a turbo.......changing up at 6000 rpm at the exact moment I pass the Lycra louts. The dump valve.......dumps! Scares the doo doos out of them! Result.

I do like those wheels, I'm sure there are lots of them around but yours is the only Chimaera I have seen them on.

Cheers Trev, hope your well mate.
I think Renault Alpine cars were fitted with them as well as used by the european BMW scene so they are a period wheel in many ways. It’s the only bit of angular I have on the car and I like them for there simplicity of cleaning and the wheel nuts are covered. Look mean on the move too

I could fit 330 mm discs in there too
Not that I need them as the 324 are pucker,any bigger and the rears would need upgrading and now I have better fronts the braking balance is really nice. Safe. Brilliant but Rainsport tyre’s are half the equation, together it makes a formidable road going combination.
The car does look a bit off road though, like I’ve got knobblies on which I love

Good idea. Any excuse then.......

Interesting, I have an S3 in that colour Porsche Masala Pink and I am lead to believe that mine is the only S3 in that colour and TVR only did one other car in that colour - a Griff. Looks like thats you unless my facts and correspondence from TVR is wrong!

[N7GTX]

There was another Chim on the TVR stand at the NEC last year in the same colour. Don't remember his name but he was the sprint champion/organiser for the TVRCC and another Chim at one of the car shows. I have also seen a Cerb in the same colour.
Interesting you say it is Porsche Masalla Pink as 2 years ago at Newby Hall I found a 911 in that colour so we compared cars and found the Porsche was much, much lighter. It is called Masalla red by the paint people. Its a marmite colour

I suppose then that it's going to be even more difficult to obtain some paint for those little incidents...And for those wondering why there is an S3 on the Chim picture forum its just to compare colours ,
