I've seen a few driving around, but to me they mostly looked like old codgers and not members of a great community like PH (none of them have had PH stickers). They certainly didn't wave or flash back at me (ok, so I was driving a Saab, but still...)

I've got a black Chim with rego starting RAW

Blue S-reg Chimaera 450.

Theres a few Chims around here, plus a black Tam, and a couple of Tuscans and Cerbs...

I live in Marchwood (fringes of the New Forest) and am about quiet a bit. Saw 2 blue cerbs a few months ago who gave a nice wavey back.

I'm in Barton on Sea and have a Nightfire red cerb. Quite often take it across the forest to work at Fawley. I'm not an old codger (33) but do live in an area that has more than it's fair share of old codgers!!!

And another black Tam that visits his parents in Lymington. Didn't realise they were that common!

Sold mine last year but still see a few Chims on the Marchwood bypass, and someone around Hythe/Marchwood area has a Tuscan.
There is of course Richard ('Boosted Cerb' on PH) with his supercharged LS/Vette engined Cerbera who i think lives up near the Refinery.

Was it you who pulled alongside my blue Chim about 6-8 weeks ago, between the cameras heading into Bournemouth on the Wessex Way..?

You gave a cheery wave, then zoomed off, taking the exit for Kings Park football stadium IIRC...

I'm in Dibden Purlieu - Red Glow Pearl Mk.1 Tuscan - I guess I am a bit of a codger though....But act like I'm not!!
Rich with the LS Cerb is in Blackfield and the chap I sold my 450 Chim to is also in the area.

'Barton Flyer' lives in .....Barton would you believe? He has a Blue (Imperial ?) Mk.1 Tuscan.

Quite a few then. I haven't mentioned the chap that has a painting business in Hythe, who I believe, has the very last Chim made a Cerbera and a Griff.

The Fawley Refinery TVR folks have been to a couple of the Goodwood Breakfast Clubs.

PM me if you want to meet up.

It'd be nice to all meet up for a beer at some point, somewhere in the forest maybe.

I'm in Southampton with my silver Chim, but am regularly over at my Dad's garage in New Milton fiddling with it. Love that drive across the Forest on a saturday morning smile

Yep, that's me. Although it's actually Reflex Charcoal - but the DVLA think it's black.

I'd be up for that! My favourite pub in the Forest is the Royal Oak, although the locals might complain about a posse of TVRs turning up. I get a bking some times biggrin
