WOOHOOO!!!! We picked the Cerb up from Dream Machines this morning, Mike Smith turned up at and kindly took some pics which will be posted as soon as I get them, Ive been out all day since!!
First impressions... Jumpin Jabberclackers!! Am I really buying that!! The cerb is utterly stunning!
Every time I get out and look at her, Im amazed at the jaw dropping beauty of the car.
The ride is incredible (compared to a V8S) standard springs I think(?) but comparitively it feels as if its on rails
Plenty smooth, very firm, obeys your every command (at the speeds I was driving anyway)
And the power, surely it cant be legal! You lot have all played aplenty, It didnt seem as if Id given it more than 1/10th of what it had on offer, but you can feel each and every one of those horses idling under your left foot (my feet and mind were blown away, backwards and then both ended up cris-crossed from the whole experience!)
I spent most of the day in second, winding up, easing off then grinning like a manman at the machine gun fire!! I insisted she be decatted before I picked her up, in conjunction with the sports pipes its music to my ears, and the ears of those within a mile or two I recon!! Not only does it pop and bang on demand, but it pops and bangs when you least expect it too! On gear changes, all the time, I wouldnt be suprised if it started popping and banging after having been put to bed for the night, its simply amazing
And the looks!!! Its almost embarassing to be inside the vehicle!!
After popping and banging down in 2nd, we heard all kinds of exclamations "Look at that car!" "Woooooooooowwwww!" and "Its SOOOO loud!" as well as 350++ admiring glances (probably literally!!) one chap was even taking photos of us as we drove past
We've been in and out of pubs and places all day, so I got plenty of use from the black button!!
(I love that button, its like a nipple, only better
) I found that you need to feed in some juice to bring the revs up to idle. Everything about the car is to love, and the occasional sonic boom on startup is certainly one of them!
Set off 3 alarms today without trying, and went through about 20-25 quids worth of fuel!
Looking at the car is like having sex, second gear through town is the closest us males will come to multiple orgasms, and the loud pedal feels as if its hiding a world of sub/dom bondage and taboo! Im not into that stuff, not yet anyway
In a point score out of 10, I would give the car several hundred
Everything is to like when it goes, I just hope it keeps on going. At least until I have recoved from the 24k price tag!
This is the car of my wildest wet dreams, I do have niggles but they dont belong on this thread! Thanks to PH owners old and new, Ive been reading this forum for many many years, and am happy to finally be a part of it!

can i be the spoilsport who says that stupidly loud pipes are fun for a while but aren't big or clever.
You can say it but I'm still having fun after 18 months.
Another plus is that my friends can hear me coming a few roads away so by the time I arrive and get out the car the kettle is already boiled and the tea made

All I can say is massive respect for thinking you can tame abeast like that after only driving for 6 months.....
I am still scared of the thaught of a Griff500..... so looking at 4l or 4.3s.....
All the best... but would love to meet this prolific poster
:Wavey: I know without a shadow of doubt I will never come anywhere near close to taming a cerb, bah - perish the very thought, with or without a whip and uprated leather dominatrix gear
If Austec offered a cheaper remap option just for ultra smooth downtown running with free unlimited ultra mega bonus pops, Id opt for that and a lifetime of drving experience later I'd surely still feel light years away from needing for more power. I just have to win a shell 'free optimax for life' voucher and Im sorted

Congrat's Rob!
About the loud pipes. Never been into laying logs on my own doorstep, or within several streets. Had a maxxed up nova type race his own P&J up and down a road we lived in once, it grew rather tiresome
A cerb would do the same to those whose ears didnt light up when V8s and TVRs rumbled by. Whilst out and about though, and I dont mean to sound poserish (lest a do-gooder mistakenly bemuses that I nurture a poser streak within
) but a cerb is a thing of beauty, something most people admire, and sound is a part of that equation

Never mind where did you dig him up, if he keeps on jumping about like that we will soon be burying him again!
Its a classic animation

Congrats on your cerb. Picked mine up 2 years ago
from D.M. Still get the same buz from it now.
Was out for a drive on sat morning. if i could
have found your thread fri night would have
popped into D.M. to meet you. ENJOY!!)
Enjoy is the only word
I fear there may be problems with her though, but I £emotionally £detached myself before I even bought her (eyes wide open etc). I can imagine the same buzz being there after 2 years, the cerbera is one hell of a car!
