For reasons I cant really discuss on here. Anyway I think that my Cerb will have to go as I have some financial problems aswell, so expect to see her appearing in the classifieds soon, it really breaks my heart to have to do it.

Sorry to hear this Nick. I'm assuming you will still contribute to the forum.

Hope you get sorted out.

Sad to hear you may have a problem which warrants having to get rid of your P.A.J.

If you do sell, consider a small fund out of the sale proceeds to get a wedge or 's' maybe?

Good luck.

Sorry to hear that Ocean1, when I remember how the enthusiasm spills out from your prose, I can understand home how much this must be hurting.

I hope your problems sort themselves out quickly.

Sorry to hear that Ocean. 'Nil carborundum' etc and if you get a V8S you'll get plenty of change and still be far better off car-wise than nearly everyone. Cars are more more reliable than people....

Ocean feeling low. Guess you'll need to wait for the tide of fortune to come in again... Spring tides?

Thanks for the sympathy. I was thinking about an Alfa GTV 3.0.

Nah, you need to get a reliable car!!

It can only get better, mate. Most people buy their first TVR after a divorce/split, so it's a shame you're going the other way (if that's the cause of the glumness). Cheer up - it's never as bad as you think, and you'll still have plenty of (virtual) friends on here!

Better to have loved and lost.... At least you will have known the joy of owning a Cerb. And may one day again have the joy of shopping for another!

Ocean,
Keep smiling mate, things will look up soon. Just keep the Cerbra for as long as possible, it'll keep the grin there.

Yes mate Thanks





I have lost count on how many blokes have bought a TVR with their mate after getting a divorce.

They get half and go and buy a little house with frilly curtains.

He goes out and buys a totally spanking TVR and drives everywhere in it.

He then goes to work in a snotter for £500-1500.

Three years later you see the same guy with his new girl friend wanting to sell it as he has just got married again.

I had to sell my Cerb due to pressure from the wife. She just couldn't trust it to drive it herself (it had a habbit of acting up for her - never for me, it knew )

When it went, I had to go indoors to shed a tear or two but promised to get myself another one. Only trouble is, no other Cerb looks as good or drives aswell as what mine did. Only way round it would be to buy my old one back.

I guess what I'm trying to say is try to hold on to it for as long as possible, but if it has to go, try to release the sentiments with it.

Tough break Ocean. I had to sell my beloved V8S earlier this year for similar (I guess) reasons. I still miss it dreadfully but aim to buy something interesting again when finances allow.

Chin up mate.

Ocean, not sure of your circumstances, but if she has to go, she has to go. - a new tvr will only be just around the next corner!!

excellent and they want to talk to me tomorrow about a package!


Not anything to do with Podie is it?


Ocean - sorry to hear - is there absolutely no low down sneaky way you can get to keep it - sign it over to another PHer for safe keeping for example?

Good luck however it pans out.

Ocean,

I had to sell my beloved Griffith last summer for reasons I won't go in to , but vowed to get myself into another TVR as soon as possible. Almost a year later, and I picked up my new Tuscan S It felt even more special because of what happened before.

I hope you manage to keep hold of it, but if it's not possible then grit your teeth, do what has to be done, and console yourself by thinking about your next TVR.

Im not getting divorced or anything, that would be a good trick as Im not married. My troubles do relate to a woman however, thats as far as I can go.
