Arrrrrrrr not again Just when you thought it was safe to venture into a McD's car park after dark
Blar blar, excelent build quality, blar blar, NOS, blar blar, has anyone actually seen this rolling branch of Currys driven in anger as aposed to being trailered between Max Muppet shows and being photographed with a slow film speed to make it look like it's being driven over 20mph

We've seen the NOS bottles, have we actually seen an engine? Does anyone know Wheeler's view on this?
My view? Better than a saxo, but a sad, sad waste of a nice car! I'd want to mod my Cerbie so it stood out from the million others out there.........

MaxMan & Kevin - To the Twatmobile!
Whoever did that interior must've been colourblind, and as for the exterior 'styling' (ie 'slapping Halford's garden furniture on for the sake of it')
Hanging with electrified razor wire is too good etc etc

At Duxford it was driven from the trailer to it's tent (at all of 2mph), and it sounded like an AJP, so I assume it's still got what it should have under all that plasatic !

foul.

I think the seats are probably the most crass thing about it though.

I read somewhere that the Carisma blokey said it was only a showcase, i.e. it had everything possible fitted, and most buyers would take a few bits they liked, for a less horrendous look...

Good feckin' job, really!

As a billboard its absolutely fantastic. Creates conversation wherever it goes. As a car though its a Jade Goody.

I don't contribute to these forums very often, but in this case I will.

What a piece of sh*t.

I hear that Ted loves this car! Is it true that he has a ICE system and a gold paint job for the "S"?

Aesthetic rape.

Still, fortunately I guess none of the muppets who are going to drool over it will ever be able to buy one. Not unless the labour rates for cleaning roadsides dramatically improve.

This mod is the biggest piece of crap, that i have ever had the misfortune to set eyes upon. The conversion is tasteless, and reminds me of the interior of a Turkish brothel, not that i have visited one (much).

Tell ya wot.Let's add on some really tasteful retro add-ons.
First Jack up the back and put a £6.99 red foglamp under the rear, lighting up the rear diff. Then we'll get some luminous pink ribbed rubber wiper arm covers, and then we'll attach TWO anti static rubber strips off of the rear bumper(you know the ones with the lightening arrow in white!)
And for the final 'piece de resistance'we'll put one of those black and silver reflective stickers on the back stating "If my car's 'a rockin, dont bother knockin"

Hey, we'd all love to lavish that amount of attention on our Cerbs! However, I personally would not go for the Lady Penelope / Pimp colour scheme and all of the other crap bolted to it. I saw that Cerb on TV being driven around the first bend at Silverstone...can't remember which show though...

What is an ICE system?

Has he tried the NOS do you know? Perhaps it is all for show and no go? I wouldn't feel too good about pressing the NOS button and watching the pistons launch themselves skywards through the bonnet.

Is it still a Cerbera after all the bastardisations?

Chaps, Jamie Shaw at Charisma is a nice enough bloke, he wanted a car that would provoke a reaction from people and one that he could make OTT so as to show off as many different design features as possible – in this I would say that he has exceed the design brief.

No one is ever going to buy a car looking like this but that is missing the whole point. No one was ever envisaged buying a car exactly like this. Buying some of the features or even just having their seats re-trimmed to the same very high standard as those on the show car was the plan. The fit and finish on this car is superb, the manner is OTT but the car does it’s job it gets your attention, holds it and shakes it violently to death. Being as it’s a Cerbera it’s also a nice better platform to work from that a Saxo IMHO of course

Right off my now…..
