Pased through Porto in September heading south, broke down on the isthmus and found sanctuary in Pousada da Murtosa, fantastic place. Got recovered and repaired at some outback garage but they did the trick and got us going again. Wish I'd known that a fellow Cebera enthusiast was present in Porto! How do you get the beast serviced by the way?
Good to see you both as well...hope i didnt make you feel too hungry!...
Took mine back to Castle today to have the odds and ends done as well...got to go into the bodyshop in the new year though!...the knocking im getting at the rear is definately the antiroll bar catching the wheel arch on both sides. They are going to have to sculpture some of the inside arch to make some clearance and then repair and paint...hopefully it shouldnt be off the road for more than a couple of days.

No, you're not alone in here Joaquim! 
These are really awesome machines. I will never forget the first time I saw one in "flesh". Was in my first Le Mans in 2001, I was heading in the traffic for the circuit, saturday before the race, watching all the exotica and sports car in the road, when we heard this glorious engine sound. For a moment everybody looking to find where it came from... and then we saw this green, low, wide car coming in the opposite direction.
Now I know it was a Cerbera, back then I was just stunned.
Then I had the chance of a closer look in the parking lot and was mesmerized by the interiors and all those little details.
When I arrived home tried to describe them to my mates. Guys thought I was crazy
(and pictures don´t do them justice, you have to see them on the street).
Congratulations on your and hope you enjoy it fully.
BTW did you imported and got registred yourself? Allready have a port licence plate?

Hi all,
I had the pleasure to go for a ride in Joaquim car and... it's unbelievable. 420 bhp get a little to get used to and since I was aware it was about 4 times more powerfull than the car I usually drive (and lighter!) I was trying not to do any damage...
Still the feeling is unbelievable. It goes in any gear. The diference is how much you want to squash the passenger against the seat.
The 2nd went all the way to 100 in a blink... And in no time we were doing 170 (with my girl in the back seat believing we were some were around 120 - it was a nice tarmak). And then the brakes! A light car have advantages all round. It stops without effourt.
With that comes all the atention you get on the road. EVERYONE stares at you (or at the car). It feels like an experience that shakes you, rather than a transport.
You feel like the king of the road...
At the moment the question isn't if I'll buy one. The question is when!
