Well, I'm sure a lot of you have read the posts on my Cerb and the trials and tribulations of buying and running an early Cerbera.

However, after the first few months with the car, which were annoying to say the least, and spending a small fortune on sorting it out, I'm about to hit a milestone. A small milestone granted, but a milestone none the less.

My Cerb is going in for its 42,000 mile service a week today, and since the last service 6000 miles ago, it hasn't cost me anything beyond petrol and a bit of oil.
6000 miles without a problem, I never thought i'd see the day

What does this prove? No idea. Maybe that early Cerbs aren't unreliable if you look after them (unlike the previous owner), maybe that if you are willing to invest the time and money you can make any Cerb reliable, maybe that it's too early to tell after only 6000 trouble free miles and I should shut up.

Anyway, enough of this fate tempting...

Don't tempt it. I tempted it a few weeks ago by joking about how the car had cost me a few pounds in the last year and now I've just had to get my alternator fixed.

Mr T,

You just know they will tell you need an engine rebuild!

Glad to see its running ok, and its not cost you much in the last 6000 miles. However, I too wouldn't tempt fate.

I also hate it when people sak 'hows the TVR running', because when you say fine, then something will go wrong.

None of this supersticious rubbish, nothing I say on here will have any effect on the way my car is running...

I'm looking forward to the trip home tonight, nothing like living on the edge of disaster

6000 miles, the cams have gone around approximately 18 million times! And all the other bits have done about 2.25 million movements!

Sounds pretty reliable to me!
