I seem to have managed to convince SWMBO to visit back home this weekend, which in itself is a major achievement.

Pottman jr (age13) also wants to come along and whilst it's a bit of a squeeze, with the passenger seat fully forward SWMBO can fit in the front with pottman jr in the back of the Cerbera.

But it does seem as though the passenger seatbelt isn't really long enough to accommodate SWMBO unless she adopts an immediate crash diet or amputates parts of her anatomy.

I'm sure the wise sages of PH may suggest such drastic action, but I would prefer not to make this proposal to her. I've tried looking at seat belt extenders and can't seem to find the right size to fit the Cerbera, so any bright ideas please.

Loads on ebay, but a bit late in the day for delivery

A good car parts place should be able to help.

Thanks. Amazon have them too, but they don't seem to be the same size as the belts on the Cerbera.

Is there a specific type of seat belt used by TVR for the Cerbera?

The plastic arm extenders that the belt runs thru are vauxhall so i assumed the belts must be also.

That's good to know, although the width of the metal tongue (33mm) seems different to all the other available seat belt extenders on Amazon.

Perhaps I ought to consider that diet conversation with SWMBO or Back Home may end up being stuck at home for me.

Jonathon, I would suggest upgrading SWMBO for a newer and slimmer model. tongue out

Bit more pricy however as the newer models always cost more to maintain and
the depreciation is not good, but they are often capable of more than the
older versions. yes

I will now run away... biggrin

Alex,

Some interesting thoughts. I must admit to having feelings for another and confess to seeking comfort in her arms. She too is feisty and glamourous, with some real get up and go and though some might argue her hips are a bit too wide - I like the look of her.

I think on balance I will stick with my northern lass despite her lack of accommodation and use my new German mistress for more mundane affairs.

Unfortunately I guess this will mean I am going to miss Back Home.

Not exactly, check out the pic on my profile.

Guess I will be missing Back Home this year.

Ho hum. Best wishes to all the Cerb's that do make it.
