New Owner - First Post

[S 8 GRN]

Just a short post to introduce myself as a new TVR owner/driver.

Bought a Silver Chimaera 4.0 1998 and took delivery on the 17th Jan.

The dealer was outstanding and could not do enough for me.

I promised myself one for my 30th last Jan but couldn't quite afford it. Feeling sorry for me, my wife then went out and bought model Chim for a present and that has sat on the TV for 12 months and thoroughly p***ed me off each night sitting looking at it! The thought was nice however the reality is far better

So I bought one for my 31st instead.

Just need some sunny weather now ....

Cheers

Yep know what you mean about better weather. Just bought back into the TVR fold after a 8 year sabatical. Test drove the tiv and everything came flooding back to me. Bloody fantastic.

hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoy ours

Well done, I managed mine while i was still 30 which counts as not being over 30 in my book

You need to watch out though as since i bought the Chimaera i seem to have been collecting tasmins 2.5 of the blighters now...

This is the best place for info on TVR's.
Just don't be shy to ask

welcome to the joys of TVR ownership indeed

Welcome and congratulations. My first TVR was a Chim also. Loved it to bits, used as an everyday car. Smashing.

By the way, I note you come from West Yorkshire. We are having a combined North West/Yorks meet this Sunday in the Peak District. Why not come along and show off your new baby?

Hello!

I'll keep an eye out for you, I'm also in Yorkshire.

PS: A few of us are meeting up on Sunday for a run out, you'd be very welcome to join us. Have a look in the 'Events' and 'Yorkshire' forum for more details.

That's cos she's a closet BMW driver

Welcome... yet another loud n leary TVR on the roads of Yorkshire... can't beat it

[pigpen]

Welcome Adam, it's brilliant on here. All you could wish for. And as for driving - as you're near Harrogate why not set off over blubberhouses - great run and it just gets better the closer to Lancashire you get heh heh. Wish I was going too though on the combined run at weekend. Will all you lovely people arrange another one later please.

Cheers
