Thought you all might enjoy this short review of a Chimaera on Youtube.

I thought it might be nice if you could all have a look and leave him some feedback

He’s avin a laugh.
Worst car ever. I drive loads of so called supercars from the 90’s era. All a bit poor and and all fall apart constantly.
I think overall the Tvr is the best of the bunch in many ways, pretty damn robust and way cheaper. I nearly ran out of Petrol in a Ferrari 360 but gauge read just under half
ETA. Agree with the post above

I don't think he was expecting this amount of comeback

He's clearly Mr Needham who used to write to Top Gear in the Clarkson, Hammond & May days. Once he started complaining about the noise, then you knew none of his other complaints would be valid, because he clearly didn't understand that noise is it's raison d'etre.
And what is the point in reviewing the quality or robustness of a 22 year old hire car? It's like going with a prostitute who has been one for 50 years, and wondering if all people are as unenthusiastic sexually.

There’s really not much to say about a review about an old Tvr used as a hire car.
I don’t think it’s likely to be one of the “better” cars from the market either.
Sad that some chap thinks it’s a good idea to talk trash when he should be talking to the hire company about the loose panels and possibly sleeved exhaust?
I think he was looking for attention poor Soul lol
I drive a few classic and semi modern sportscars that are all classed as iconic, a lot of those have faults as long as your arm because they are used almost daily as workhorses. Try driving a Ferrari 360 like you would a Tvr, cramped, hot, no torque
and fall apart constantly, that’s typical of all of them, the 2012 GTR s
t it’s gearbox the other week,, 7k repair, they got off lightly. A really good 450/500 Tvr Chim would be a completely different experience for that chap even if it would be to loud for him. Modern man you see

At least the Chimaera was in good company. He also reviewed a Porsche GT3 which apparently according to our budding Fifth gear presenter was a terrible, terrible car (which it is ) it was too loud and the suspension was too hard.
I couldn’t resist and placed some comments about his reviewing technique which he actually replied to.
I suspect he is one of those narcissistic types who puffs himself up to family and neighbours by placing what he thinks are valid critics of cars he has driven and therefore increasing his status and sense of self importance.
Poor guy.
