[bossdrew]

Going down to Cornwall for a weeks holiday... Im in 2 minds, weather to take the chim 500, or to take the wifes (miss daisy as i and the kids call her) sponge cake of a car.... sensibility says take hers with her god awfull cds. but then again the driver wants to sit for 5 hours in mine and sod the expense...
what would you do?

[tvrbob]

Leave both options open and check the weather forecast just before you go.

[Scruffy]

TVR - you want the journey to be part of the holiday, otherwise it's wasted...

[Hughesie2]

Sod that, leave the Mrs at home and just enjoy yourself

I came back yesterday from a long weekend in the Peaks with my Dad, 900 miles and 1 or 2 tanks of Optimax. Found the Chim surprisingly comfortable and would never have dreamt of taking another car.
Take the Chim! You know it makes sense. Besides the exhaust note will drown out the wifes CDs

Take the Chim, you know you want to! But whatever the choice, just make sure it doesn't have a Fn' caravan behind it!

How far down are you planning on goin'?

[mick_coupe]

I'd take the 500...make the drive part of the holiday

I don't! It would have to be so big it would stop me seeing anything in the rear-view mirror.

I'd take zippee's Chim; the only one I've heard of that returns 50plus mpg

[wedge girl]

Without a question of a doubt take the Chim, saves having to listen to the CDs

[dodgyviper]

Chim everyday.

Just did manchester to Bath for 4 days hols and loved every minute of it - including the journey.

If you take the golf clubs out of the boot then you'll have plenty of room for luggage

OK, a slight under-statement. Point being it may cost you twice as much in fuel but you'll have more fun!
You guys have to be so damned picky?

Will do, don't forget to take a rumble on down to Lands End. In fact I may take a rumble on down with ya if you so decide and fancy the company of an equally 'black' Griff over the w/e of your bein' down.

Whatever you do don't take the chimaera.

It's not to be driven

Not to be enjoyed

Especially NOT in cornwall, round those twisty roads n stuff

Take a tablet and lie down for even considering it...
