Where to look and how to pronouce haha

[StreetDragster]

Hi All, sorry if these seem like basic none technical questions!

First of all, am i missing any places online to hunt for Chimaeras?
I have-
Pistonheads Classifieds
Auto Trader
Car and Classics
TVR Car Club
Ebay

Secondly, how do you pronouce 'Chimaera'? Because i've heard numourous different pronunciations of it. I've heard-
Chi-mare-ra
Kai-mere-ra (As in the virus and Greek monster)
Chim-air-rea
Kai-air-ma

Thanks

Matt

I'd probably leave out the extra 'r' - Kai-mere-a - but I've heard loads of versions!

http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/chimaera - found on a previous thread - you can hear the word spoken by clicking on the speaker (a bit American though!)

Think you've covered most of the bases for looking for a car (I'm guessing that the TVR/sportscar dealers advertise on Autotrader - if not check them too!) - the only one you've missed is getting a third party to source one for you - someone like www.jamesagger.com - they should be able to check it over etc so you don't buy a lemon.

Hope that helps
Alex

What model are you looking for and how much do you want to spend? I am trying to shift mine in a hurry as I move house in a few days and have no where to put it. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/193763.htm

The "Chimp" was a Chevron based Imp/Stiletto. Not a Chimaera.

Hi Pulling Power,

I'm afraid i think your car is a little over my budget, i'm ideally looking for a 1997-1999 450 Chimaera with ~40-50k miles on the clock for around £10,000 in about September time

Thanks

Matt
