Nice Weather

Well I have been out and about enjoying the nice weather.

Both the Chimaera and Tuscan have been used regularly. The Tuscan gets looked at a tremendous amount and even BMW M3 owners get out of its way on the bypass! The Exhuasts have been "sleeved" to make it slightly louder and this also makes it "pop n bang" nicely on the over run as well. It has black 18" spider wheels with "G string" tyres and orange brake calipers. The brakes have been upgraded so it stops really well.

The Tuscan is a very twitchy car to drive if there are truck ruts on the road or a steep camber, but it seems to all come together the faster you go. It only has 1.7 turns of the steering wheel lock to lock and it is very low to the ground and so I won't be taking it into any multi-storey car parks!

The Chimaera is still running very well and we have been blasting about as usual. It really is a very pleasant car to drive in the sunshine with the roof panel removed but the rear screen and windows raised.

Lets hope we have some great weather this year. We are off to the Roar 08 Chimaera festival in late June in the Peak District. The wife is going to have some treatments in the spa and I am putting the Chimaera on the Dyno to see what power it is making.
