Quick question,

Did Cerbs ever come with cruise control and if not can it be retro fitted?

Best way to keep points off the licence on motorways.

Hang on............................




Sorry about that, just had to go and check that my car hasn't got remobile badge on it!

Cruise control on a Cerbera? That's like giving a woman a chocolate bar in an un-openable wrapper!

Speed limit here 120kph, kojaks with kodaks all over the place, cruise control on my very fast 535d kept me on 11 points for two years. All wiped clean now, hoping to keep it that way.

Just saved my blasts for country and mountain roads.

With the the technological advances over the last decade I would have thought that an iphone wedged between the accelerator and the underside of the dash more appropriate.

There must be a donor system though that would work, no?

I'm still not sure if the OP is taking the p!ss.

I think in raiders of the lost ark they used a stick or something to set up cruise control before the car went over a cliff. Which is funny since a friend went off one in Cyprus and 100 foot later he could not work out why it took so long to
die. One very lucky lad.

Not at all taking the p...

I think cruise control is essential when dining a car that has been described as hard to drive slow on a motorway where 80% of cops litre on wait.

is it that unreasonable in your opinion?

A Cerbera is NOT hard to drive at the limit on a motorway.

I suggest you learn to drive more responsibly. Self control is what is required here sonny. Stick to Forza 3, you'll be much happier.

Kojaks with Kodaks? WTF??????

If your self control, car control and observation are not up to driving without getting caught speeding then you probably shouldn't be on the road at all never mind in a Cerbera.

Having had cruise control on several cars I've rarely ever used it.. UK Motorways just aren't free flowing enough to take advantage unless you are driving on a totally dead stretch of M-way at 3am!

Firstly I am 46 and not a hat backwards boy racer and secondly if a cheeky description of a policeman with a speed radar gun really ruined your day then I suggest you perhaps go over to the Rover 45 forum instead. (Tyresmoke?...WTF??)

I personally feel that cruise control on any car is essential these days for responsible driving and it has nothing to do with wanting to drive fast. What on earth is it but a drivers aid, especially if you feel like a more laid back drive without worrying if you are creeping a few kph over the limit every time you go downhill, especially in a light car.

100kph is the limit here and 120kph is tolerated as is your 90mph, 121kph is not though and will get you a ticket and 3 points.

We do however have miles of back, country and mountain roads that are perfect for a faster drive.

Driving in bright heat and sunlight at a seemingly walking pace in a fast car is much easier when you dont have to worry about what your right foot is doing.

Will I be next told that airconditioning is for wimps in a Cerb and that I should be driving around with the window open to quote "hear those exhausts", or maybe that power steering is for girls.

Come on..

Really dissapointed with this forum at the moment, didn't expect this behavior at all.

motorways are quite empty here
