    Hello, FerrariChat.com Community

    I would first and foremost like to thank you for taking the time to read this thread.

    My name is Tim. I currently own a highly modified Toyota supra (600rw+), and a Range Rover for DD and off-road duty. The supra is really setup for the road course more than a dragster or freeway monster, but make no mistake, it holds its own on both.

    I've been recently researching the 360, 550M, and Gallardo, I'm yet to really make up my mind. I've talked with TVR about importing a Sagaris, however they don't seem too fond of the idea.

    Hello to everyone on the forums, I look forward to talking with you.


    Thanks, Timothy Swearingen

    "goos"--oldster slang for good, or just an indication that he can't tickle the keyboard like he use to???

    Is it because of the stiffer safety laws we have here? It would be pretty cool to see a Sagaris around town. Something way different.
    Anyways welcome to the site!!

    TVR had a bag of excuses; I seemed to be able to nullify them by corporate business allotments as I can get emission and safety exception by special title, mileage and location requirements among other resources. TVR however did not want to be part of it, regardless of what exceptions I am eligible for. I just wasn’t sure how much I wanted to blow on a car I've never seen, driven, or so much as rode in and have no sort of endorsement or go ahead from the manufacture. I honestly don’t know if its worth all the hassle of purchasing one in a foreign country and importing it myself with TVR’s opposition to my acquisition.

    It'd sure be fun to have one though.
