Great left field choice. Never seen one let alone driven one so be interesting to hear how it drives and what else is under the skin. Pleased for you - you must be chuffed!

That was my initial thought, before I wrote down my second-thought and condensed it merely to 'congrats'!

You do have a strange habit of doing that...

Pete, I thought you would "get" it.

Yes, I am chuffed. I was just browsing through the Pistonheads ads a few weeks ago without any particular car in mind when I saw the one Weismann in there. Had to have a look and the rest is history. I hope to drive it before Xmas but I'll be selling the Atom first to create the garage space and I won't start that process until after Xmas. So with that and the crap on the roads I don't really expect to take delivery until late Feb/early March. However, I have some European trips scheduled for March and I always prefer driving to flying so what better way to enjoy it.

Ha ha. Its kind of irrelevant what other people think styling wise though?

My BM attracts nothing but negative comments from friends and acquaintances but i dgaf, i don't like their cars either. It is a divisive car though for sure

Very kind of you but there is absolutely no need to apologise!

At least TVR used their own thoroughbred engine & not a parts-bin special like...

Oh, hang on!

i think i'd rather have the BM V10 than any TVR motor

dont they fall to bits every 20k or something?

How much does it weigh Welshman? I've often thought the V8 from the M3 in an S2000 would be good fun
