Podie learns to play golf...

[Podie]

.. well… not exactly…

Anyway, some pictures of my P&J… I’ve not had time to take some of my own yet, so these are the ones taken by the previous owner…!

A 4.5 litre, 25,000 miler, with full TVR service history in cherry pearl with Portland grey and mulberry leather...







There’s a bit of a list of people I really need to thank, so here goes…!

James Agger – thanks for helping me find the car and negotiate a good deal... yaaa beauty!

Steve at Silverstone TVR - who made a lot of calls to help find me a car. Given the appalling manner in which two other main dealers treated me (who should be thankful Ted has a no naming and shaming policy) they could learn a lot from Silverstone...

Joolz at Joospeed, Simon and Julie at Leven Technology and Seasider for the advice on what to watch for...

All the people who ferried me about whilst I had no car... Rude Girl, Griffy and Slamm...

... and also to Andy at APM who managed to fit the car in for an MOT at the last minute, and even had time to do an inspection and sleeve the exhaust for me! (sounds )

So a big thanks for all the help guys, the car is fantastic and somehw I've managed to do 500 miles in 3 days ...

Very nice - congratulations.

[Big Al.]

Well done that man

and don't believe all that crap about blue ones being faster or noisier, THEY AIN'T is Red all the way. Especially the ones with Red roofs as well. OH

[ace-t]

Utterly lovely car mate! Well done! Still think you would have looked good in a blue one though

Looking forward to seeing (and ) it, oh

[joospeed]

We can make yours a bit louder if you want tracy?

[Tripps]

Looks a beauty mate well done

Look forward to seeing it at BT&P, I still recall owing you a drink too for something...

At long last you can fit Real Doll and her pump in the car rather than leaving her at home

It's blue Cerberas that are fast, and red Chimaeras

Nah, Nah, that was ME you owe the drink to, remember?

OH yeh nearly forgot there..... silly me

[Nuggs]

Congratulations Podie - she looks a beaut!

No pictures of the engine bay though - you'll have to let Uncle Big Al. take a look, he's very particular about these things you know... OH

Blue & red ones? Beware the silver bullets...

[Podie]

Thanks guys... as I said, without the list of people below I would probably still be looking!

Ace-T - give Joolz a getting the exhaust sleeved makes is sound SO much better!

Tripps - you owe me a drink for that baguette...

Cherry Pearl is a great colour on a chimaera. OK, so it's not Cosmos Blue but I think it is still very nice.

Right... off to work... see how many sleepy Essex villages I can rudely awaken.. hehe:

[RichardR]

That is one gorgeous looking Chim!

Looks like you've realised my dream!

[deeen]

Very nice Podie, the inside looks fantastic too.

You've got 30 months to make it look as "used" as mine!

Good luck, Dean
