Firstly, i'll be the proud owner of my first TVR Chimaera... (saturday 30th!!!) 500 at that.... i live out in germany, and dreading the drive back, as well as wanting to give it a good run, as i can (sorry, had to rub it in) just wondering if there are any tips for a newbie to the fantastic world of the TVR?
generally any good tips, and as i'm in germany... anyone got a spare bible lying around?

can't wait to tear those 2 a penny Porches up

Thanks for any help

Congrats
Mine arrived in two days! (Ordered on the web).

1) Loose the roof;
2) Your a better man than I if you can avoid the silliy grin;
3) Ditto with the fun;
4) Lot's of loud pedal.

and a big welcome.
One thing I have learned is that, when it's rains the roads get slippery in ANY country.

So ease of the gas until you get the hang of it, and most of all safe driving and keep it shiny side up!

well, i'm 31... not been home for christmas day in like 12 years... i've been going nuts for the last week and a half waiting to get this car... finally dawned on me i'll be actually driving it on saturday... since then i've been wearing one of those silly "i'll be driving my TVR soon" grins... you guys have got me grinning even more, sheesh, the first silly grin comment started it bad.
about the roof... i've heared that they're prone to a bit of leaking... if mine does, which i probably won't care about, how, when i stop wearing a silly grin, do i overcome a leaky roof?
here's hoping lots of fun filled-porsche stomping days ahead of me...
one last thing... where online may i order the chimaera "bible" anyone have a link please?
