Your new Cerbie looks just fantastic, I really, really want one

Failing that I wouldn't kick a T350 out of bed

[WildfireS3]

I'm not a big Cerbie fan due to the roof, but if I needed a 4 seater.

But that is a car.

[KentishS2]

It has real presence, I wasn't sure when I first saw one becasue they are very different to anythng else being susch a large and sleek sports car but they really float my boat now.

And that interior is to die for.....

Tripps is an exceptioannly nice colour and interior combination. Beautiful car.

[Tripps]

Thanks guys I am very chuffed with it, although I do miss the roof-off appeal of the S still and am harbouring thoughts of a V8S in the future...

Was very lucky with this car, right colour combination, right price (then lowered by Rob Ingleby's bargaining skills), new than I was looking for AND a Red Rose - the car was maintained at the Factory and previous (and first) owner is a mate of PW and specced up the car with Ben Samuelson, after Ben tipped him off to wait for the RR.

I'm a very happy bunny, and my eldest daughter loves it too - having spent 10 minutes after VW playing with the C pillar interior light then falling asleep

A wonderful machine and I'd love to take you up on your kind offer the other week of a ride out sometime.

[KentishS2]

PS....

I have the throttle pot, just need to save a bit more for all the other parts

As long as I've not got a short one with me, as the passenger seat needs to be folded forward for them to fit it with the baby seat! Otherwise you're more than welcome

Are you coming to Dunton Green tonight BTW?

Thanks Rob, I'll really look forward to it

Unfortunately, I won't be at Dumpton Green tonight. The house is still pulling rank over the Tiv at the moment and the budget for the Tiv has become somewhat smaller since funding the house improvements.

Nevermind, Rome wasn't built in a day!

That Cerb is absolutely beautiful...

You luck'y luck'y bd

[shnozz]

impressed with it in the fibreglass too Rob.

Sorry we didnt have much time to catch up sunday - we could have paired up the girls and had some beers mate!

Two weeks time mate, mind you we'll only have Claire as a beer mate, unless I can dress us Podie and pretend he's my date!

no mate, not going to BTaP - the logo by my name was "dropped" by Ted accidentally

[Tripps]

Doh! Thought you'd only just got around to requesting it

Think we must organise a Hampshire/Sussex/Surrey/Kent meeting before the end of the year...

[HarryW]

Very nice indeed . Rob is quiet surprising in that he can normally negotiate a price that will more than cover his fee above and beyond what you normally can as a punter IMHO.

I'll be in Surrey in the next 4 weeks or so for a weekend or there abouts.

Fantastic car Rob, thats a real stunner, I'd love one just like it myself

Now about that V8S you're considering for the future... trade?

I'm afraid I'm greedy and need the soft-top and Cerbera fix

However, you can have the wife's Mondeo if you like

I am hoping to be moving to Sussex by mid November, fingers crossed, so I would be up for a meet too, count me in!

Great looking Cerb, I do love the shape but need the open top. If I ever find I am able to have both I would hope to find one as good as that, look forward to seeing it at a meet sometime.

Later

Not sure yet I have some business with ACT, so will be travelling South to conduct that. All depends on Tim's schedule, I believe he's on holiday at the moment.
