Well I went to Henley TVR today with the Mrs to look at Chims,
we have found the one we want and after all the usual blurb of form filling out etc the nice chap offered to take it out. I was already sold and in love so I was gagging to go out in it. I knew that this whole episode is a non starter if I couldn't get the Mrs on board and to tell you the truth I was very nervous of her saying " NOT ON YOUR NELLY ARE YOU HAVING THAT"
But blow me she pushed past me and jumped straight in. She loved it so I thought something must be going right for once.

My turn came and all I can say is how do you guys put up with the face ache ? I was grinning like and idiot for the whole 20 mins, I was trying to remember what everyone had told me to listen for and ask but it completley went out the window (which was down the whole time)
30 mins later. we were back and I think I (we) are about to be the proud owners of a Crimson Starmist Chim. The worst be about all of it is now that I have driven it I have to wait 3 weeks till we can pick it up.

good thing its going to be a good few weeks to wait though.

If anyone lives around Windsor Berkshire it will be me driving around at silly o clock, making all the noise for a while.

Good choice. Crimson starmist is the way to go. No matter what people say they are the fastest. While the missues is happy and keen you need to convince her to get some levan gooides to finsih it off. biggrin

Yep another thumbs up for starmist crimson, its a superb colour and looks even better in the evening sun as the colour contrasts with the black hood. enjoy it and just make sure you connect it to a accumate charger when not in use !!

The thrill of driving a TVR i'm sure doesn't ware off, I have been driving them now for over ten year's and they still thrill me, there's nothing like them.
