Bloody Kids!

[Mark.]

So there I was in the Cerbera, burbling along enjoying some late afternoon sun when I pass a bunch of school kids.

TVR! Shouts one of them, I have a wry smile to myself

TUSCAN! He follows up with

FFS - what DO they teach kids at school these days!?

50%. Must try harder.

[Andy Pandie]

Unforgivable, must be that south coast education system, either that or he was telling you what you should have bought

[QBee]

Are you quite sure you heard Tuscan, not Tos###?

[330p4]

They must do better Tuscan much better looking LOL

Bloody hell, spiteful lot in tonight!

[QBee]

Nah, just jealous. My Chimaera is away having some mods done, and my ideal TVR would be a Cerbera convertible. All that fresh air, and so much less likely to swap ends on track days thanks to the longer wheelbase.

[Mark.]

Been using it as a daily this week and it's been really nice.
Such a pussy cat if you need it to be, will purr along at 30 in 5th so traffic is easy, also will roll along in first on tick over sweetly too, but when the gap develops it's off like a raving loon, unlike the Chimaera which seems to need a little more coaxing at slow speeds and with the lazy V8 sort of wakes up wondering what's going on when you hit the loud pedal before howling off in to the distance.

[QBee]

Mine's a 300 bhp/330 torques V8D 5 litre with a stealth cam, so takes off in any gear like someone just stabbed it in the arse. I was driving back from seeing a friend in Shropshire with a 6 litre LS Griff yesterday. I was in my sure footed Audi, and came over the Cat and Fiddle and through the Peak District, and kept seeing Chimaera sized overtaking spaces.......felt like I would have been home half an hour quicker in the right car.

[Mark.]

Yes I know your is quite different to mine, a real beast. Must be so much fun having that power in a car like the Chimaera. Mines just standard 4.0 so not really quick at all by modern standards, but with the roof down on the right day it can't be beaten. Don't think I could be without it now.

[QBee]

Mine was a 4 litre originally. Loved every minute in it. Great car. If I didn't do track days I wouldn't have changed it. Nothing quite like a Chimaera, roof down, sunny day.

But there's nothing on earth as good looking as a Cerbera.

Anthony it'll soon be back,another mod ticked off the list!

I was like a dog who'd lost his bone when my car was being operated on !!

Kids, there's a teenager who works in the local chippy, always asks me about Tvr's

I always get a good portion with a nod and a wink. Lol.

Question Cerbera owners,
Does it get really hot in the summer.
I just take the top off but I've often wondered how you guys get on.
Ok another question do you stay dry, do you have soggy carpets.
I'm not sureTvr could seal a puncture, I thought they leaked even with a solid roof?

Cerbera ultimate Tvr and history will prove it. Definitive!

Did I say I like them. !!!! Lol

Except of course a Chim which we all know is much prettier.

The local chippie by me was run by a kid who was always telling me his mates VW Golf was much quicker than my TVR as he had spent 10k on the engine. It kind of made the queue laugh what I said - Maybe it is, but it cost him 10K and you can't polish a turd.

Not sure about summer temps - if it's a warm day I always take the Chimaera
And on crisp winter days the Chimaera comes out too
But it doesn't leak at all.

Catching the 10.55 train to go and fetch my car back. Sensible option would have been to go on Saturday. Sine when has sensible been in the same sentence as TVR? Can't wait until Saturday.

I had the complete opposite Mark, heard a pal tell his mates "look at that, a TVR Cerbera!", when I was in the old Tuscan. At least they still know TVR; the knowledge can be fine tuned through experience but the foundations are there!
