Missed the Chimaera this week after it's appointment at the doctors.
It's amazing how quick you get used to a 1.2 Corsa, you know planting the loud pedal at every junction just to get going quicker than a snail.
It's also amazing how you take that nasty habit back in to a TVR, pulling left off Fernies forecourt I planted the loud one and managed to pass the showroom and the workshops sideways on opposite lock

I must apologise to Drew next time I'm up there, he was showing someone around a car in the showroom at the time, I suppose it could have had 2 outcomes.
1. They did a deal there and then.
2. They walked away thinking all TVR drivers are idiots/lunatics/tossers or a mixture of all 3!

What a pillock, I was so pleased to be back in it my senses must have left me!

If you turn left on to the main road when leaving Racing Green it's obligatory! You are going past the workshop windows after all!


Mind you, bearing in mind my handle i may be a little biased...

NO. I miss my Chim

The Pug 206 HDi courtesy car I have is a nice practical little car, but its uncomfortable, uninspiring, boring, and front wheel drive for crying out loud

And it's done over 200 miles.... on *half* a tank. What is that all about?

Next week I will be mostly driving a 1.4 Astra . I will be downright dangerous in it as I seem to think I can still overtake like I'm in a Tiv. I hate to think what its going to be like getting back into Chim.
