A done deal !!!!

[Medlamaniac]

Hi to all of you, thought i would just introduce myself being new to pison heads, well after 8 months of pontificating and cogatating i have finaly bought a Chimaera wowwww.. what a machine, i realy pity all those guys that have tried putting me of buying one, with the age old put down "They alway break down you no" whilst driving around in there nice little euro box's, never had so much funnnnnn..... mind you i will probably need your help now and again if that is ok>>>if it breaks down

[jasandjules]

You may indeed.

But few cars in the world IMHO give as much smiles per miles as a TVR Chimaera.

Believe me, all those who were suggesting you will need the AA to follow you round etc.. will be begging for a ride/drive...

[Medlamaniac]

Whilst on the subject, of breakdowns,....touch wood 20 times ect ect....,does any one know can you get AA or smular breadown cover for a 94 chim?.

[biggiles]

I have AA cover- as far as I know, it's per person, not per car. So you shouldn't have any problems (unless you have a history somewhere of really unreliable cars).

[cln1]

Just make sure you have it serviced regularly by a reputable indy and I think that you'll be ok.

Welcome to the fold.

[jasandjules]

Funny enough, PR Wood is in Southend IIRC.. No idea if he does a good job or not, but I reckon he must do to still be in business.

Get RAC , In my experience to date (With Euroboxes not the chim I have to add) they come quicker than the AA. And having had the chim for >2 years now had to call the RAC man out to it the other day for the first time with a flat battery - as I had left the lights on all day (how stupid am I). He was there in <10 mins, knew where the battery was AND the procedure for resetting the alarm. Top bloke and a bit of a car nut too.

[tesstickles]

I'd go for the AA as it's per person even if you're the passenger in a different car.

But enjoy the car, service regularly, and people here will always be ready to help. We need all we can get now that TVR face a bit of an uncertain future. Lets hope the Pheonix rises from the grave in style.

Have used PR Wood myself and I know a couple of other pistonheaders who also use him. Always very busy but does a very good job. You should try to get out for the next mid Essex meet. Several TVRs convoy from Thorpe Bay seafront to the actual meet.
