I have a very nice Chimaera 500 which i love, but i have just sold( presuming all goes well) my low mileage bmw 850 and low mileage 350Z and bought a cerbera!
i know some people will say i should have bought a tuscan or a T-car or griff etc. but in essence have i done the right thing swapping two perfectly good cars for another TVR?
the idea is i try a chimaera, a cerbera and a tuscan and then decide which of the 3 models to keep.
what have you changed from for a a TVR?

Lol, Lester, you must be feeling either very rich or very lucky with your car choice.

I like TVRs, but I'm always cautious of relying on them as my only car. biggrin

Ian i have a firm offer for the E31 :-)
to be perfectly honest i would be happy with any ONE of them, but when it comes to having two cars to keep it gets a little more difficult. I also have a smart car as a company car and a mitsubishi delica for 4 x 4 duties.

what i will say is , that i WILL have another 350Z car again, i really liked it

not as my only car Alex, and i am nowhere rich, but £20K can buy you an awful lot of choice which i wouldnt have been able to afford otherwise

Went from Cerbera 4.5LW to a Tamora, i've no regrets at all, i could go into why i've no regrets, but that would just start the same old blah blah blah.....

I changed the empty half of my garage for a Cerbera. It kind of looks complete now. Welcome to the club smile

With a bit of judicious tidying and clever parking I'll get a Tuscan in there too biggrin

According to their garage profiles,
flyin banana has a sagaris and a 400 chim = 2 tivs

and ffg has a taimar = 1 tiv
what cars are they keeping secret :-)

jammy dont ask me to be on the pub quiz team or help with a crossword because the clue in the name has stumped me :-)
ffg ( flip flop griff?) i would have said fezza fiat griff maybe, I thought flip flop griff was the colour of a griff he had once?
a simpler clue for me might have been, GGT
:-)

you`re both wrong, yes paul and andrea have a griff each, plus I believe a wedge as well as a taimar, unless he sold the wedge? not to sure.

however the name flippflopp is not due to a paint job, its because Paul like his ale so much he is unable to do up his shoe laces, so........he has to wear flip flopshehe



I kid you not.
