MOD500

Thought it may be interesting to see what cars people owned before their TT.

For me, it is the following:

1) TVR Chimaera 400 - Non PAS, and felt like a go-kart

2) TVR Chimaera 500 - same as above but much more power, and dubious handling

3) Purchased TT in May 04.


Before sports cars I had sports ATV's for my 'fix', had a Yamaha Blaster first, then bought a Honda 400 EX which I modded up.

Kind Regards


Martyn.
