Bought it (finally) Yesterday

[Somebody]

Happy new year all,

Took the plunge yesterday and bought my first TVR, a Chimaera 500. Work comittments mean I can't pick it up until mid February so will be counting down the days...

Hopefully will not be asking any stupid questions, but look forward to joining the banter !!!

Best regards to everyone,

Richard

Good call! 500s are the way forward.

Well, if you can't get a decent 430, anyway... :P

Good choice!

Do you have any pics of the beast?

Well done and welcome to the fold!!
February is not such a long wait ( and the weather forecast for the next few weeks is poor anyway!!)
It'll give you time to plan some fun trips this spring and summer.
Post pics soon!

Hmm, when i first looked over the car it was the one under my left elbow, had the window down so I could use the button under the mirror, couldn't remember which was the door release, didn't realise I'd activated the central locking.... Naturally the 'golf' ball was the last thing I tried... still, during this mildly embarrasing 5 minutes of captivity I did discover what all the other buttons, knobs, and stalks do Doubtless I'll experience a good few more "who's the knob" moments before I can be confident I'll look cool all the time

..said button by left knee turns off the dash lights. New drivers often deploy the swith in error, than wonder why the dash lights are busted!
