The more threads and posts I read, the more worried I get about the right and wrong things to do, things I should have looked for when I bought my Chim, things that I should look for now I have bought it, things that could go wrong now I've got it......... on it goes. Is this just me?

Its grim, how grim I haven't found out yet

Turns out that as my car is such an early example half the parts are completely different to other chims so the poor guys are having to fabricate ways around them not fitting.

I was a little bit the same at first, but then you learn to drive it and enjoy it... all of the idiosyncrasies are what makes these cars special... what will happen will happen and you'll cross that bridge when you come to it... just keep a grand or two in your pocket for when it does.

Only one or two grand, try 2.9 for my last bill, but I still love it!

Me too, began to think that my Mrs was right, but that soon wore off! Wouldnt be without my Chimaera for anything. Dont worry what could happen, what will be will be. Just drive drive drive and then you will forgive anything! If anything does happen rest assured that there will always be someone on here who will be ready to offer help,advice or words of sympathy.
Just arrived in London after a 26 mile drive to the station.......I know where I would rather be!
