That's what they say don't they? So I didn't. I didn't look at any. In fact I haven't even sat in one since 1999, when I test drove a 500 at Kerridges. So I hope I like what I've just bought! hehe
Always wanted a TVR, since I heard the Wedge when I was a lad!
I'm sure everything will turn out fine, it's only money. driving

Just off out to put the engine back together and put some air in the black things so it makes it to Norwich.

It'll be fine Stuart!

Which car have you gone for?

Oops - Just re-read Edo's post so I guess you've gone for his car.

If it's any help, I bought the first one I looked at, although it took nearly 2 years to find the one I wanted to look at. (I think that makes sense).
Look forward to seeing you about cool

Damn right I won't Richard. I'll be perfectly happy with the performance as long as I don't set foot in yours! laugh
You're still welcome to pop round for a drink and a nosey when you're back though. beer

I bought the first chim I looked at, but did spend nearly an hour on my back on the garage floor prodding the chassis. Tbh after 2 successive disappointing wedges the Chim was great :-)

I've been lucky, of the thirty odd cars I've owned (no new ones), each one was the first I'd looked at and there hasn't been any bad repercussions! I'm well aware that's not the way to do it, but I'm an impulsive bugger. tongue out

I've seen Edo's car at the dealership where he bought it last year. Unless he has made a special effort to trash it since then, you can't go wrong! It's a lovely car. Enjoy smile

Quite the opposite, if anything it is far better than the day we bought it!

Just back from Breakfast club wondering why I am selling it!!
