However:

Track 1: I've had the time of my life
Track 3: She's like the Wind
Track 6: Yes

Pretty accurate

Ok no, it is pretty inexcusable .. burn him

..touching cloth, please tell me you've just looked that up on Amazon, and don't know it off the top of our head..!

One of the few cars that i seriously want that may be accessible in the next few years. all the other minor things like OH, house, food etc may have to go by the way side, but ho hum!

gorgeous looking cars and sound sublime! never had a chance to even sit in one, let alone be a passenger, but hopefuly one day

Andy,

Just find a local cerb and ask - they'll certainly take you for a spin. If you're down gatwick way, give me a shout - I'd be more than happy to take you for a spin (so long as you don't try to climb out of the door when I give it the big beans - it's happened before)

Great article by the way. They're cars with passion.

Cheers

Rob,

I'm not a million miles from Gatwick at all (45 mins) so I may well have to take you up on that offer. And no, i wont try escaping while you give it some, although a gentle build up would be hugely appreciated (not the best passenger) but I'm sure that can be overcome.

Cheers

Andy,

No problem - just let me know when is convenient (and preferably dry!!).

Don't worry, everything can be overcome in a cerb!!

Cheers

Had me worried then!

Firestarter sounds a bit more appropriate, though...

Took a 911 pork owning freind for a blat, he knows how quick they are from the outside, however he could not belive how violent it feels from the inside when you 'push on' I couldn't stop him swearing the only thing that shut him up was letting him know it was only 2/3rds throttle travel he'd just experienced

[Fastra]

Much better..?

Ah, bugger!

Sorry - I do apologise!


... is that any better though?

Sorry, again, my Raitt knowledge is non-existent.

Back on topic. Certainly a hero of mine for three and a half years.

One thing though, can you elaborate on this a bit more?

Peter Wheeler regarded the Cerbera as one of his biggest mistakes.

Oh bloody hell, this has got the juices flowing again. I'm most likely to be unloading my present car in the next couple of months and I've been struggling with what to get next. I nearly bought a Cerbie a couple of years ago but money was tighter and I had to put the sensible hat on and stop. I still dribble at Cerbies in the classifieds and 2 weeks ago I was just leaving a shop with the wife and a beautiful darkish green Cerbie gave it the beans in Crawley, we both just smiled at each other and the missus asked why I don't just buy one instead of always going on about how desperate I am for one but $hit scared about the running costs and the breakages!
The article in PPC last month didn't help much either.
I'm in Gatwick (well Horley) and I'd love to have the chance for a 'hot lap' so to speak if you really don't mind. I think it would convince me I need a Cerbie before they get too rare and parts get sparce.

Wish I hadn't read this the day before my Cerb's new owner comes round with a cheque.

Fabulous article. I'm so happy to have "loved and lost". It's the car that all others will be measured against and I bet they all come up short.

[il-mostro]

With regards to friendly TVR owners, i was out at Southend in Essex on the front one sunday morning last summer, and there was a TVR crowd there. One of them could obviously see me grinning/drooling like an idiot, and offered to take me for a spin in his supercharged test bed Chimera.

I was so shocked by how fast it felt. Still prefer the looks of the Cerbera though.

If the bloke who took me out is reading this, THANK YOU again!!!!!

[cerbfan]

Yep, the most amazing car I've ever owned, the prices they are going for now are ridiculous!

If you just want to look at it then yes, but not if you intend to run it for more than a handful of miles a year.

[Nicholas Blair]

So glad I've finally got one!

[cerbfan]

Tell me about it, however look at the prices of old Ferraris, Lambos etc. They are holding there value a lot better and cost equal if not even more per year to run. Some Cerbs are going on Ebay for less than 10K now!
