Thankyou and goodbye....

[Paulo.dicanio]

Last night a very lucky new owner came to collect my CHimaera thus ending my first (but definately not last) TVR adventure. As I watched it drive down the road I realised I was losing my favorite ever toy. This was worse then Christmas day circa 1987 when I dropped Octimus Prime down the stairs and broke him only two hours after unwrapping it.


Goodbye, my Chim gets its final fill up in my ownership and can't I resist a pic under the petrol staion lights.

Anyway I would like to say thankyou to all the knowledgeable people on here who take the time to share the wisdom and experiences. The hours I spent pouring over these forums prior and during my ownership has had untold benefit and has made my ownership as stress free as possible. Indeed my plan is to have another one in 2 years time so I get relive the excitement of trawling through the classifieds and ebay looking for "the one" It may have to be a Cerebera next time round but lure of another Chim may just be too much. Better the devil you know and all.
Cheers all
Paulo.

P.S
part of the reason for the sale of my car was to free up a bit of cash for my new detailing business. When I hope to be up and running officially after Chritmas. In the mean time I am compiling a large photographic portfolio of my work. If anyone in Herts area wants a cheapy in return for use of photos etc send me a PM.

Hi Paulo

I know the feeling of seeing your tiv drive off up the road without you! Horrible!

Good luck with the new business!

BTW, YHM!

Hi Paul - I know the feeling and it's not nice!
Best of luck with the new business venture and good to meet you on Saturday! Sorry I couldn't hang around but I was in a bit of a rush after purchasing my new toy!

The photos of your car in the classifieds looked great.

I would have been tempted if it was a 450.

Fantastic car, BTW! Funky rear speakers, by the looks of it...

Hope you're back soon and good luck with the business.

Hi mate - hope you're well! I'm keeping the Chim as well as the Sag, and she's still running beatuifully. You finally got that Masser then?

Can't complain. Glad to hear the Chimaera is still running well, though I'm not surprised! The Maserati's great, if a little too tame (and damned expensive to run) - am very jealous of the Saggy-ass!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.


Zippee- good to finally meet you. I bet the imminent arrival of a rather spanking T350 eases the blow somewhat!! You are a very lucky man. Next time you are cruising by my house, give it some beans!! Or better still.. knock on no.46 and take me for a quick blast

Don1- Hello again sir. A sagaris to the fleet then, does that mean the Porcshe made way?!
And a big YES to having play on the Saggy and the Maserati I can tolerate a little extra travelling for those

Sweet, I'll be in touch. And no, the 911 is now a 911TT Cabrio...
