I currently own a T350 and owned a Chim 400 for 4 years prior to that. TBH a S6 engined car can take up to 15 miles just to warm up, especially when its cold. The Chim was a LOT easier to use day to day though does still need to be warmed up properly, hence I voted for the RV8 cars - Chim or Griff.

No S-Series? smile

I voted for the Chim on the grounds that they seem quite well screwed together and anything that goes wrong on a Rover V8 can be solved by a few swift taps from a large hammer.

Tuscan owner here - highly rate the car but agree with above comment - it does take ages to warm up - a good 15 mins.

If it was a daily drive I would be tempted by one of the rover v8's - mainly for running costs reasons.

Thanks for voting all - Chim is the most popular choice, by far.

Having checked your 'garage' I'd get whichever I fancied and keep the pork/audi/jag as the daily snotter. wink
