Hi Mart, wonderful car to drive, wonderful area to live!

As you're no doubt aware, there are some great roads to explore there. In 2009 I was staying overnight in Conwy (one of my favourite towns in the UK), fuelled the Chimaera the next morning then headed south to Cardiff.

I'd never done this before, obviously all A and B roads but I was shocked and enthralled by the steep climbs and rollercoaster dips!

Much as I'd worked out that I'd get there without having to refuel, I hadn't realised that the Royal Welsh Show was taking place at Builth Wells which forced me to take a huge diversion.

Ended up pootling into the capital on fumes only and asking directions to any fuel station. I was proud of the TVR that day.

Would just like to add,for day to day driving the chim is much better than the Cerb,So Relaxing and the advantage of taking the roof off.Done around 600 miles now and loving it.But cant wait to get the Cerb back from having a service and mot for the adrenaline rush.TVRs ,love um.

Ha! I see I'm not the only person who parks their TVR in gear without bothering with the useless handbrake!
