Besides it's not exactly a Chimaera

No it isn't.

It will be much reliable, less likely to turn to splinters in a crash,
and have the potential for far greater power without grenading

Seems to be plenty about from what I've seen. Hopefully after Christmas the
prices will dip a bit more and I'll be able to snap one up well within my

followed by the Skyline and something from across the pond)
