Sunday at Sunset. I was in the BMW in front of you and pulled over (with my window down a bit) to let you fly past. Thanks, it was louder than I ever imagined. Made me giggle like a girl. laugh

Yes, I agree Jamie's is loud, but its a Chimaera, not a Cerbera.
I am pretty sure it is Daz's.
No, not Silicone Kid, but Vee8ight, who lives right next to the A46 about half way between Newark and Lincoln. His was the Cerbera that had clutch failure in Greenwich Park at the end of the last Thunder in the Tunnels. He still drove it all the way home with no clutch. He had made the exhaust louder during the week before, instead of changing the clutch - a man with his priorities right whistle

But it does't look like OP has or had a TVR so does he know his Chim's and his Cerbs scratchchin (No offence intended OP)

Since when did any of us have our priorities right owning a TVR whistle

It was a silver(ish) Cerbera with a front light conversion and no front number plate. Don't worry, I know the difference between TVRs!

You can only imagine my rage when I then click on your profile and see that you retired at 36!
Seriously though, thanks for the help in tracking it down. I was very impressed by the car's noise and the shove it had.

To try and make you feel better I've had my fair share of Bad luck,bad news and sad times along the way smile I think we all get good and bad times in life you've just got to hope the good out do the bad.

Having my pre cats taken out next Wednesday for more noise biggrin
