Yippee....got one at last!

[wilfandrowlf]

After months of searching and trying to persuade the wife I finally got myself a Chim yesterday. Needs a bit of TLC but basically sound.
Didn't break the bank either!
Will be asking numerous questions soon.......
Now to see if it'll start after a night of frost?

I offered to have a look before he came up from Bristol.When i arrived Mark was already there.We went for a drive ,not a bad car for someone who is capable at doing general mechanics.The UJs`s were very worn but it had a
recent mot..

Too right Ivan, in fact going off some of his recent posts a 'newbie' could think he was a bit of a guru. God forbid the incompetent

Mark

Glad you got sorted in the end, and hope the weather changes over the next few weeks so you can enjoy your new purchase.

At least getting one now means you can put that TLC in before the summer with no pressure

Enjoy

Andy

[SILICONE KID]

knacker nut! thats a first.Yes those peronal insults were justified after a constant ps take on public forums..Is it a bit of jealousy

I didn't get any








Must try harder

[SILICONE KID]

All i was trying to say is most TVR owners are very critical with there own cars.You only realise how good your car is until you see other examples..Do i deserve all this flak..
