Cheers mate. I'll take you up on that if thats ok!

Cheers for all the info there chaps. I ended up not getting the one i was set on, i ended up sleeping on it and i'm glad i did now. I've seen a few cleaner examples with lower mileage and better history. Just waiting for the right one to come along. Havent really got a preference with colour, engine spec or anything else but it has to feel right you know?! I'll keep you all posted!

Spot on mate - some really good info there. Thanks!!! Yeah, you wouldnt believe the amount of insurers that have turned me down as this is the first TVR i've owned - they all said to come back after a year. I will have a look at a few more, i was all set to put my deposit down until i spoke to you. To be fair the mileage has put me off, even though it sounded nice and pulled well with no knocks etc. Thanks for the help though - really appreciate that. I'll keep you posted on how i get on pal. Tom

Hi mate, Cheers for the link to that info!! It went really well, the car i orgininally went to look at was a bit rough so i ruled that out. He then showed me an R plate, imperial blue mint condiotion for 10k. The only down side was the mileage at 90k. I wasnt bothered so much by that though because it had a fully history and the dealership had serviced it from new so they were well familiar with the car. It drove really well too. I'm just trying to find a decent insurance quote. The best yet is £650 from Priviledge. Who are you insured with? Tom

Cheers for the info there mate. The sound of that engine is mad, i cant wait to get one now. Is there much difference between the 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 litre engines and also the engines with HC? looking at the performance figures there doesnt seem to be a huge deal but surely the torque difference must be huge? I'm going to a TVR dealer tonight to look at 2 of them, one on an M plate and the other on an S - both 4 ltrs. the garage says that they cars are all checked for the usual TVR problems and will come with 3 months warranty.

To be honest mate i'm not sure. The people i have spoken to about them have mainly put them down but without really supporting the negative comments. What are they like for reliabilty, performance, fun etc etc? I'm really up for getting one but need confirmation from people that actually owned one or know about them rather than people quoting car magazines.

Chaps, Its been a while since i had a car i enjoyed. I've been to see a few TVR's and would like the Chimaera. I've seen a few but i'm not 100% sure. Has anybody on the forum got one or driven one? Thoughts please?? Cheers Tom

I hear you there pal. There are some really good and original US drama series at the moment. I also have got into Scrubs recently, i know its a comedy but still pretty good!

Thats the one i saw last night, looks quite neat and slim! I think its £189 on their website.

What a donut, sorry mate, i meant to put it in here! Cheers chaps, i'll look into it in a bit more detail now i know its a one off charge! Cheers for the info!

Mange tout people! I am looking at buying Sat Nav but know absolutely nothing about it. Do i have to subscribe to anything when i buy one? I am looking at a Tom Tom but only want a one off payment, no monthly charges. Does anybody have any recommendations at all? Cheers Tom

I live in Wokingham mate. I've got an Audi A4 in silver than needs a fair bit of work. Would you be interested in that?

Cheers folks, I'm going to have a look at one this morning. Looks like a straight car, FSH etc etc. I'll keep you posted! Tom

Ok, after writing off my corrado in the summer i want to replaced it asap. i would like the next corrado i buy to be used as a second car (something for the weekends etc). I've got a BMW 3 series that i'm driving at the moment and its a bit crap so i was looking for something a bit better with a bit more poke to it. I've been looking at Audi A4 2.8 Quattros. Has anybody got any experience with these? The performance figures seem similar to those of Golf VR6 so i'm happy with that. Any thoughts.......? Cheers Tom

Aposegil, stick with it mate. I've seen your car for sale a few times over the last week now and if i had the money i would take it right now. You are right now to budge on you price. People out there havent got a clue. I'm suprised though that nobody from here has bought it - its a very nice looking car mate. Hang in there....
