What's your 'best' bit about the Cerbera ownership

[sweeper]

Thought we might need some counterbalance to the other threads

For me the best bit is the startup procedure, with the garages walls shaking. Especially after tinkering a bit, which is for me part of the ownership fun. It gets even better when some Porsche drives by and you can see the puzzled faces of the driver...

Driving it!

Driving it
Hearing it
Looking at it

[Mr Cerbera]

As my Dear Old Grandad used to say......

Approacing it (especially when there are the usual group of onlookers). Opening the door - which always produces dropped jaws - The cackle of the motor starting. Being lower than everything else on the road. The push in the back when you give it some. The unbelievable turn-in grip (had my first front-end slide today). The throttle length which has enabled me to actually control power slides for the first time in my life. Watching the faces of onlookers when they are stunned and then try to ignore her in a failed attempt to be cool. Overrun !!!

....and generally being associated with a completely eccentric British idea

I always get heartbeating when I see her, sit in her and drive her. Such a feeling I've had never before with another car.
Thats why I like this car so much. Simply said: fascinating

Getting yet another call from the garage because they find something else that needs fixing. I do like chatting with the owner...

Sometimes we just need to learn turning the bad things into good ones...

My best bits:
Opening the garage and taking the cover off.
Initial fire up
Gazes and comments by people whilst out, (the other day i saw a guy say "wow what is that?!")
The pops and bangs on over-run, i don't think i will ever tire of them.
The shear raw power the car delivers compared to anything else i have ever owned.
The colour in and out.
It's British!

Oh bugger easy to say all of it!

S'funny, I forgot that this thread was 10 months old so I was reading all the posts and then couldn't believe how well Poster No.4. had covered all the points that I thought of..... then I read the member's name

[Tanguero]

Parking up in a row of cars and walking away, I can never resist the backward glance over my shoulder and always think, "Is that really mine? Damn it looks good!!"

[cerb4.5lee]

Agree initial start up is epic, the awesome power to weight ratio excited me & the individual feeling interior just added to the sense of occasion & the angry animalistic sound it made at high revs...why did I sell the dam thing!

Couldn't put it better myself, so I wont.... Well said

Knowing I bought the one you wanted

[Byker28i]

The little extras,

...like driving past cars in a multistory car park and setting off all the alarms

...the flames and pops on over run

[Jhonno]

When it works..

[m60ddy]

Couldn't decide after reading this thread so went out in mine tonight. Got back and I still cannot identify one good thing about the car. I have dreamed of owning this car for many many years and as a new owner (4 months) it is every thing I hoped it would be. I just love it..... All of it.

A car that's awesome to drive and look at and personally, much fun when you come to tinker with it.

AND this forum is without doubt, something that makes ownership better!!

My car would have been sold as a non-runner without the help that I've been given by PHers - especially AndyB and SteveC.

[jamieduff1981]

Agreed - this forum is great. The people I've met on TVRCC runs out have been good too. It's a really good crowd in general. I think it could become a lonely experience (when problems occur) without the other owners to offer help, encouragement and general cheer ups!
