Just wanted to say Hi
Discussion
Hi to all, just wanted to introduce myself and swmbo and say hi before asking the ever increasing amount of questions.
We are the proud owners of a 1994 chim 400 in starmist blue and i am hooked. I have been lurking on here for a very long time and this just fuelled my need to have one.
Picked her up Sunday afternoon, then spent 260 miles on the back of a recovery truck as the wiper motor decided that it couldn't cope with all poor weather we have had lately. New one on order and will fit minutes after arrival.
But we have had good fun in the few dry spells we have had.
Many thanks to all for the previous posts that have broadened my knowledge

We were thinking that, only had it for five days and our pockets are already feeling it ....
Fuel £100
LOL when I first picked mine up (about 3 weeks ago) I filled it up and used that in one trip... When I got home I told my good lady we needed to budget ~£90 a day (£2700 a month) for fuel. Oddly enough she didn't seem impressed LOLFuel £100
Fortunately it's close to £100 a week so that's a lot more palatable...
Hi Julesprivate, would like to use your quote but still trying to figure that out.
We were very interseted in your car and you beat us to it. So glad that you are enjoying it and as for your fuel bill, we can sympethise, but they are so much fun to drive that buying a pint of milk has become exiting.
oh that reminds me only have 80 tee bags left thank god for tesco express back soon! lol

As you have probably seen from our previous posts, we have had to buy a few things for ours and the list is still growing with things that we want to get for it.
Would think that it would at least be a week after buying her before you'd have to open your wallet again .... or should that be hope!

Hi, yes ours is like yours, we had to get new plates because the prev owner kept the private plates that was on it hence we had to get front as well.
Although we are now looking at getting our own private plate for it but thought that the police would not allow us to drive it without any plates whilst we decided what to have. SHAME THAT

Hi GPS 10,It was great little car, i know its not in the same league as a tvr but i think it made me smile just as much when that 28/36 carb used to be wide open.
Thankyou for your support, and i knew there would be no looking back before we bought her.
I have so many plans and Shelly is having to rain me in somewhat and shouting " PUT DOWN THE SPANNERS AND STEP AWAY FROM THE CAR" lol, But we did go to Mac Ds on saturday night just for a shake and show the saxo boys a real car
