Blue Cerby made my day ...
Discussion
Going clockwise round the M25 Saturday afternoon at about 1pm towards the M11, what did I spy gaining on our Passat at a great rate of knots? A menacing blue R-reg Cerbera, looking like the devil itself and somehow more tarmac hugging than usual. "Oh my word", I think I said to the missus ... which was then followed by the window opening about a nanosecond after.
Luckily the traffic built up
and so we accompanied this sports-exhausted beast as it spat and snarled along in the outer lane, through the couple of tunnels by the Waltham Forest turn and beyond into Essex, its driver just itching to get the vehicles in front of it to somehow disappear ...
Trawling along, we then saw a silver 51 reg Porsche Carerra which the wife commented she'd rather have than the Cerby, at which point I had to ask; "Why?
"What's the TVR do that the Porsche doesn't?" she said.
It doesn't make me say "Oh my feckin' Christ," for a start I said. "The Cerby beats it on looks, sheer road presence, value for money, noise (couldn't hear the german car) ... do you want me to go on?" I said.
"No" she said.
So, thanks to the blue Cerby (R*** COT) for an entertaining half hour or so, I never get to see them on the roads in the deepest pockets of Cambridgeshire which I inhabit, and it cheered up a dull M25 journey!
Can't speak for roadholding, reliability, costs of ownership, depreciation etc, insurance but at that moment I didn't care
