Re: Chimp
No chance.
Always maintained the outriggers, and the rest of the chassis. Waxoyld, and painted regularly. Rust happens to any chassis that you don't look after.
Never had ANY serviceability problems with the her (unlike Porsche 911s - Geerman technology!!), and pretty reasonable to look after (except fuel!) OK, the battery drained once, but she's on an overnight conditioner.
...and, she doesn't smell of glue, OR leak. If there's one thing owning a TVR for 5 years has taught me is, NEVER listen to Richard Hammond!

Re: Chimp
Frankie had the funniest take on Hammond, though.
Seriously, though - who'd listen to any of the Top Gear crowd, much, about cars really - unless your main criteria was how well it goes around their track, and whether the suspension is too hard, or whether it has a flappy paddle gearbox, or whether it produces too much wheelspin, despite the fact that (conveniently ignoring Cap'n Slow for a second) they seem to prefer inanely driving around their track with high powered cars, and smoke pouring from (usually) the rear wheelarches.
Now and again there's the odd snippet of real world sense, but it's almost immediately, and somewhat self-conciously shut-down in a rather embarrassed manner - as if to say, let's not let our fans know there's any sense and sensibility in this, the monkeys just want ape-ism and poo-flinging.

Here is my weekend warrior in it's current state:
Check out the rear chassis leg after shotblast :cry:
Ever heard the term "lick of paint & she will be dandy"?!
The plan is to have this 1983 mk1 golf gti back on the road in mars red some time next year.
Bought the car last July as a 30th birthday present to myself

Sorry to interrupt such a good thread, but the title lead me to believe that it was 'Show us your car' so here is the Maverick wagon.
Bought 7 years ago for £1200 with 30k on the clock. Spent just under £950 in running and maintenance costs (MOT's and repairs) in that time and have driven over 75k in it. Now at the end of its little life
. It’s also a 1997, so just on the edge of Retro.
I give you 'The Mitsubishi Carisma'. Thank you.
