Mental car, nice owner. Paul kindly took me around Silverstone in this, I'm not ashamed to admit I had to ask to get out after about 2 laps laugh ... mind you he had been cooking the brakes most of the day, so I already had some cause for anxiety redface

PistonHeads I expected better from you.

The first rule of an internet car video is DO NOT put crappy music over the sound of an engine, at any point in a video.

I really must get myself a Cerbera some day. The shape looks as good today as it did when they first came out. Nice to hear the tales about the cars getting proper restorations too. cloud9

I'd agree with your guess on the wheels size. I know nothing of this car. The thread got me curious about body sytling for the Cerbera. Google came up with this one, & a pic of a gold one which looked a little too "fast & the furious" for PH. Here it is anyway....

I've been in Paul's LS7 Sagaris a few times now and it's probably the most mental car I've ever been in. It's certainly the most amusing!

Lovely car, but I think you need to supercharge it (to say about 880bhp) and put a Speed Twelve bodykit on it, that would be cool.

It's a real shame he drives it like a complete prick at track days ignoring the rules set out at the briefing about not overtaking in the bends or in the braking zones.

And don't give me no grief about moaning and groaning, i paid my money to go on track at mallory on saturday, i went into the briefing and i agreed to abide by the rules set up by the guys in charge.

Then when your out on track the last thing you expect is some prick diving up the inside of you as your braking and about to turn into the hairpin.

If you want to go racing, get a licence and go racing, this was a track day for people of all abilities to try and enjoy a great day out.

If i'd have found you in the paddock after that second session you'd have got my mouthfull face to face. luckily when i found out you were in one of the pit garages later in the day i'd calmed down by then but i did notice you out on the track doing the same stuff.

Rant over.
Care to reply Paul?

Did you talk to him on the day after you had calmed down? Hard to tell from your post. Seems like it would have been more appropriate than an internet forum, especially one were he has volunteered to talk about his car. If you did talk to him, same applies really, why post on here.

Fantastic car!

OOOOhhh, OOOHHH Ooooo, calm down dear. I'm sure that 'if' you'd have found him [titter] you would've discovered he's a good guy. The thread is about the car, not you getting all upset 'cus someone went past you rolleyes
