It's very annoying!

I want to buy a TVR Chimaera and it seems the more I mention it on the forum, the more cars I get offered!

I'm based in New Milton, Hampshire, the cars I want to view are in:

Malesbury, Wiltshire
Somewhere in South Wales
2 in Lancashire
Dundee, Scotland!

Not really helpful when I want to view them all to properly make an informed decision!

I'm thinking of getting specialists to look at them for me, but I'd really want to look at them and drive them.

Looks like I have a very long couple of days ahead of me....

Its all part of the fun, the challenge in finding one is almost as much fun as owning the car.

Excuse for a roadtrip with a mate
See parts of the country you wouldnt normally see
Meet new people
Have a night out the night before and stay in a hotel and grab dinner
Have a great long drive home if you buy
Youll get the best car, not just the best car locally so youll get better value

Whats not to like?

Best bit is - before the internet you would be blisfully unaware. You bought your local Auto Trader weekly from the newsagent and were happy with the choice...

Getting a specialist to go and have a look will cost more than you jumping on the train to do the same..
