Chimera Anniversary

Well I have had the Chimera for almost a year now and it has been more reliable than most cars. It starts and runs well and nothing much has gone wrong with it. The MOT is now due and a service, so we shall soon see how much damage my "enthusiastic" driving has entailed.

The Tuscan has also been running very well. The only thing that has happened is the washer pipe fell off after the last service. As I had the bonnet off to fix this (the Tuscan has two bonnets, the larger of which bolts on) I changed the wipers to some Leven items that look a lot better than the originals and have an improved integrated washer system. I also fitted some Kick Plates from Leven as the early Tuscans did not have them fitted.

We have been to the local TVR club meet and had a great time "hooning" around Suffolk with the other cars. Everyone is very pleasant and friendly and the runs are well organised along some great roads, with usually a good meal in a fine hostelry to look forward to at the end of the day .
