I've not had my Chim very long, but in that time I have had the good fortune to meet some very dedicated and helpful people in the industry and fellow owners. I can honestly say I have not had one bad experience, and its made the first 6 months of ownership very enjoyable. I openly admit I only know where to pour the petrol, oil and cash, so I'd like to thank a few people for their patience and help; Fernhurst for selling me the car and their guidance, Dan at Taylor TVR for getting the car in peak condition and being on hand to get me through the MOT, and Paul Kent at Kent TVR for working all day in the very hot sun when I needed help at short notice. Thank you.

There's something very personal about Tvr and often the people who keep us going.
It's part of the charm of these crazy old cars that so many other people share a passion for them and if they work on them even better.

I've tried to break the spell the car has on me recently.... 5 years of obsessive need to do things to it and drive it all the time, decided it's bad for my health to be so one dimensional in life so it's taken a back seat recently, so I make the mistake of driving it earlier,,,,,,
Such wonderful vibes from the darn thing, it's addictive and even though I want to do without it in my life I don't think I can. Such a special car to own and enjoy.
A quick calc and I've done 30,000 miles over these few years. A good few days or weeks away and the first time drive it things impress you you don't normally notice, steering, sound, power, grip, handling, gearbox, brakes, comfort, looks, sound smile not many cars can touch so many sensitive parts, quite so easily. Magic so they are. wink
