Yes, another one!bouncebounce Wanted a Chimaera for years, and finally got the go ahead after plying my long suffering wife with alcohol. I just love the shape and the way it sounds (and the car isn't bad either).

Been lurking here for a while to get a feel for what to look for and got lots of good information about chassis, tyres, electrics, tyres, stepper motor, tyres, manifolds, tyres etc. etc. so thankyou everyone who has posted anything that has helped. Lets see over time if I put it to good use when I chose mine.............

I just hope this rain stops p**shing down as I would like a brown trouser free collection wobble

Plying wife with Alchol is great isnt it! You can get away with all sorts party

Whished I had read more about Chims on PH before purchasing. PJ is great but needs attention and that is just what she is getting right know.

Anyhow - Welcome.

Who needs to use alcohol?

My wife remarked on a passing Cobra and said 'don't you fancy a V8?'
About 4 weeks later I collected the Chim.

nono Green is by far the fastest, it's linked to green paint having far less drag coefficient than blue....nuts

nono Molecular scientists at Harvard University using a scanning electron microscope have now proved that the atomic structure of BLUE is far more arerodynamic than that of GREEN. Indeed, GREEN was demonstarted to actual hinder the forward progress of a any object in three dimensional space/time whereas BLUE could in theory allow time travel.

I see your point, and indeed understand the theory, however, this particular experiment is foiled without the controlled experiment which was proven that the particular BLUE was infact polymerised with implant of GREEN which therefore produced results that somewhat skewed the results making it look like BLUE was faster, however this conclusion was only come to due to the fact that BLUE was injected with GREEN, thereby proving that GREEN is faster, as it had to be added to BLUE to make it move faster than original BLUE.

my understanding entirely, which is why its a green one. It also means I have clear conscience in these politically correct times - I can quite honestly say I have a green vehicle........

I would, but they are such a rarity that it might take some time to get back to you on this. hehe
