This is true, but I've had my eye on something for years not Japanese and much closer to home.

Couple of close guesses so far.

Waiting for you to comment Mik. I knew you'd be very, very close, not quite there but RV8 engined still.

Well as I was typing a response to Mik, Mike got it.

TVR Chimaera.

Not quite the Griff I've always had my eye on but pretty darn close and after really looking it became obvious it was a slightly better choice for me as it's just a little more practical (you can get a bike in the boot of the Chim where the Griff can't quite do it).

So after the topgear episode at the weekend I feel like a walking Cliche, not quite so bad as I bought this back in February and there is a long story behind it.

My mate has turbo'd his chimera. Ive not been in it since but myself & @Nefarious did some track instruction with him prior to it being turbo'd. Sounded great.

8-) Nothing wrong with that.

I was going to rip you for Top Gear, but you have self-ripped already. :(

What version? A mate bought a 400 in the early 2000’s when I owned a diesel Leon. I was immensely jealous. Gave me a shot - not lightning quick but the noise was so intoxicating.
