I think it's barking to combine the two most popular models into one forum. Ted - put us back the way we were please! If you did it to try to heal the 'discussions', remember that we're all on the same side really...

I agree Ted. It's now almost impossible to identify the threads related to either car.

Please seperate us! After all we were seperated at birth...

I suggested it on the Tamora forum (& creating a Tamora/T350 one) as Griff & Chimp owners seemed to post on both anyway. Can't see what the problem is with letting the Chimp owners in.................

S'funny but in my dictionary it says:

Chimaera: a grotesque product of the imagination/an organism consisting of at least two genetically kinds of tissue as a result of a mutation, grafting etc.

Griffith: is not in the dictionary, as the blend of speed, power and deisgn is, of course, indefinable.

In summary: Eat my dust, grotesque mutants!

I just did a search in an on line dictionary/ Thesaurus, It came out with this:

SYLLABICATION:
chi·mae·ra

NOUN:
1. A deep-sea cartilaginous fish of the family Chimaeridae, having a smooth-skinned tapering body and a whiplike tail. 2. Genetics Variant of chimera .
ETYMOLOGY:
New Latin Chimaera, type genus, from Latin chimaera, chimera. See chimera.

SYLLABICATION:
chi·me·ra

VARIANT FORMS:
also chi·mae·ra
NOUN:
1 a. An organism, organ, or part consisting of two or more tissues of different genetic composition, produced as a result of organ transplant, grafting, or genetic engineering. b. A substance, such as an antibody, created from the proteins or genes or two different species. 2. An individual who has received a transplant of genetically and immunologically different tissue. 3. A fanciful mental illusion or fabrication.
ETYMOLOGY:
Middle English chimere, Chimera, from Old French, from Latin chimaera, from Greek khimaira, chimera, she-goat.

NOUN:
A fantastic, impracticable plan or desire: bubble, castle in the air, dream, fantasy, illusion, pipe dream, rainbow.

So, picking the bones out of that, I'd say Chimaera stands for "aquatic she goat pipe dream"
