One of my weekend toys. It hasn't been on the road for the last 2 years though as I've been busy with other stuff, but it'll be recommissioned shortly and then on to the PH classifieds as I'm just not using it enough and it's time for someone else to have fun with it. Sure I'll miss that V8 burble when it's gone though frown

Sadly not, just a show plate they use.

Love the Cerberas I have a Tamora with the power 4.3 and the only reason I went for that over the Cerbrea was the Tam is a conertable

I had to go for the Cerbera as it had the 4 seats, although only need 3 of them. Will be nice for family outings though!

I'm not going to post a picture. I do believe I have the most boring car in Yorkshire. A 2001 Mondeo. Estate. 2.0 Petrol. In beige.

And to think just over two years ago I was honing around in a 5.7 Monaro VXR. Children. Spoil everything!

Awesome Dan, guess the E34 wasn't working out?
Nah, I enjoyed it for a bit but needed some power!

With the thick end of 500 ponies I am going to have another summer in this thing.

Not everybodies cup of tea, but it sounds great and goes like the clappers.

I really like that! No point in trying to hide the power through sleeper looks if you're pushing that many ponies.

Thank you biggrinthumbup

I had to go wider as it was getting a bit silly trying to grip on small tyres!
There is only so much you can hide so I might well be slinging a roll cage in and remove the back bumper for a huge rear diffuser... let's see how we go this year! (I can't be trusted to leave it alone!)

Thanks. It's only a Rover V8 but sounds nice smile SD1 heads, Real Steel cam, Edelbrock intake manifold and carb, 5-speed 'box, Scimitar axle with an LSD, XR2 discs and turreted Bilsteins, 7x15 Compomotive ML rims, quick rack, fully caged, Sparco seats, harnesses, alloy rad and fuel tank etc. It's bloody uncomfortable, noisy and stinks of fuel, but great fun to have a run out in biggrin

I want it soooooooooooo much! Would make a perfect car for me as I barely drive much and want to enjoy it when I do.

Maybe we could all chip in and buy it for the PH sub-forum members biggrin

I especially like that it the bodywork hasn't had the full rally treatment. Even the wheels could almost be original. Lovely thing.

I like the Group 4/forest arched Mk 2s but wanted to keep this plain looking, so it's just got a Mexico front spoiler and an RS rear one. And RS3500 decals smile

The engine bay and interior are a bit scruffy, but it's not built for shows biggrin

My weekend toy.....just back from a rebuilt engine and still running in at 1bar, so around 300bhp. 250 miles to go and it's back in for a 1.6 bar map and hopefully somewhere on, or just over 400bhp smile

I've finally managed to get into what I have wanted, a DB9.



I did used to have access to this, but unfortunately for me the owner had to let it go. But hey ho at least the DB9 lives in my garage and not his.
