Should I be sectioned?
Discussion
I currently own a lovely ex Hexagon (ie overpriced!) 2001 carbon black E39 M5. It is in fantastic condition and has been serviced by BMW throughout its life so selling it will be a brave decision. Am I mad to consider replacing with a TVR Cerbera?
I also run an R500 caterham (sunny summer days) and 330d (wifes car but I steal it in the winter). The cerb will get used most days in the summer for work.

No, Cerberas are fantastic. Everyone should own one at least for a while..I also run an R500 caterham (sunny summer days) and 330d (wifes car but I steel it in the winter). The cerb will get used most days in the summer for work.

LOL! 
A tad optimistic if you ask me.
Lovely cars though.
Good luck with the swap.

No
The men in white coats don't need to come quite yet!
I ran an E39 M5 for two years and sold it because I was bored. I never got bored of the cerbera although it drove me nearly mad. If I hadn't written it off I would still have it as my everyday car. My tuscan is also laugh out loud enjoyable as a daily driver. If you have petrol in your veins you have to do it although you may have to sell a few relatives for medical experiments to keep it on the road.

Two best days in a mans life, ''the day he gets his first TVR and the day he gets rid of it''
Was yours a bit of a nightmare then ?Cheers

Never driven a Cerb but I've read enough about them to stay well clear unless you own a couple of diamond mines... as with anything though, if you've got the dosh and are prepared for the hassle of having it off the road then go for it. For me, I'd be very happy with the set-up you've got already but I can understand your wish to move on to other things.
Have you got a budget in mind that you might want to share with us?
