hi fellas, my 4.5 cerb has gone
I sold it last week, it took four days of advertising! im gutted, but ive bought an escort cosworth in its place, but it will never really fill its place.
I will still watch this forum and when i can help i will, so i will plod around in my esy and wave to all the the tvr's i see with envy
Take care all

Feel sorry for you mate. I have found myself in almost the same situation a few times over the last year, but luckily have managed to keep hold of her. Chin up - at the end of the day, you owned one

[kojak]

Sorry to see you you've got rid of it Lee. Do keep coming to the TVR meets though.

[trackcar]

awwww. I know how you loved that car too ..

hope it's gone to a good home. will you ever buy another one you think lee?

[leebus]

I would like to hope i get the chance to own another one, they are something special!

[Toady1]

so...can i ask why you sold it then?

[leebus]

I spent an arm an a leg on it towards the end, with new gearbox and clutch etc and the wife was on my case, saying it was money for nothing! she obviously dint drive it, but i could do without the headache

[Toady1]

So you must have had a conversation along the lines of:

You: "Ok I'm replacing the Cerbera with a nice sensible Ford, a Ford Escort in fact, nice sensible family car, ok its a two door, but it has a nice big boot"
Wife:"But why is it called an Escort Cosworth, and why has it got an enormous wing on the back?"
You:"Errrm, well Cosworth is just the trim package, has nicer seats etc."
Wife:"So why does it have that blooming great wing on the back?"
You:"Good lord, is that the time, sorry honey in a but of a rush, talk later"

Gulp, well as long as she doesn't stray into high enough RPM for the boost to kick in she will hopefully be none the wiser.
