"PLEASE DON'T COMPARE THIS TO A CHIMEARA OR GRIFF THEY ARE OLD STOCK, THIS IS THE NEW STUFF WITH BETTER BUILD QUALITY, AND ITS FASTER SIZE FOR SIZE,
0-60 IN 4.4 SECONDS "

Nothing wrong with my Griffs Build quality and that of many other owners Griffs and Chimps alike and 4.4 pah, Ok you'd have me on the twistys though.

Just out of curiosity, what is this downfall of the Tam?
Are we talking speed 6?
I happen to think it is just as good looking as the other modern Tivs

Sorry I dont read the Tam forum much..

ooooh dear, youve done it now...

the downfall thats being so subtley alluded to is the spd 6 engine. the engine thats in my car. its apparently a lemon. im sure ill agree when i owe it thousands of pounds.

i think this scenario exactly is the point of origin for the phrase 'dont go there'

Mind you - 23K and he wants *offers*. Do you think the gentleman might be persuaded to take 20K for cash?

That car was the best part of 40K two years ago.
