First ever TVR drive

[shillers]

The wife and I have been looking at Chimaera for a month or so now and today we test drove a chimaera 500. First time either of us has ever driven any TVR. Both were very impressed and although we were looking at 4.0 and 4.5 I thing we are going to purchase this 5.0 job. It was quite expensive but it was the bollocks with 19000miles ally stalks and in immaculate condition. I was under the impression that the 5.0 were a bit of an animal but it seemed very friendly to drive even with its awsome power.

Is your car the Starmist Blue 500 advertised on the Fernies web site? Just wondering - were you over there having a look at the car yesterday afternoon at about 3pm in the mist? If so, we may have been there at the same time as you - did you notice a red Defender?

AlexR Yes it was us - There is a small story to your Chimaera and the purchase of ours. We had only ever looked at 4 and 4.5 and had never looked at any 5's with the intention of purchasing. Just prior to your arrival we were about to leave when your Chim pulled up in front of my Red Rover so while we were waiting for you we hung around inside and looked at the Blue Starmist (as we had already looked closely at the others). While we were waiting we were contemplating taking it for a test drive and so we did and then purchased it. We intend to go to a few meets so if I see you both the drinks are on us.
