To say that the first ever C.R.E.A.M event was an unqualified success would be an understatement.

The months of planning paid off and with the help of the power of the Cerbera in 'creating some weather'
I honestly cannot say how delighted I am that everyone enjoyed the event so much.
Everyone's kind words, both on here, in emails, phone calls and on other forums, are very touching.

Naturally the event would never would have succeeded without the dedication, professionalism and
general support of so many others both before and on the day.

So I'd very publicly like to thank the following without whom etc.

The on site AAUK Specialist Management Services team consisting of my wonderful wife Amy, Linda &
Trevor Griffin, Dave Sinclair and last but not least 'the boss' my daughter Katie.

Darren Taylor from Driving Adventures for supplying the in car filming and such wonderful support.

Mark Jenner from Paragon Photographic & Broadcast for his outstanding images

Colin, Bob, Sue and all at Javelin Track Days for a professional and safe and above all, fun track event

Cerbera Speed 12 - against all the odds, the car made it...

Lawrence, Rocket, Warren and everyone at Team LNT for supporting the event beyond belief and for
their professionalism and stunning display

Ted & Pistonheads for allowing us to saturate their forums and for their support of the event.

Ash (SXS) for his belief, his campaigning and all round support of C.R.E.A.M

The lovely Triple S Girls

The Yorkshire Aircraft Museum for their support above the call of duty.

To all those who donated raffle prizes and money to aid Anthony Nolan Leukaemia Trust

All traders that supported the event

The TVR Car Club

Lastly, I want to thank each and everyone of you who turned out in your hundreds to support
the event. I'm now told 108 Cerberas were on hand and in excess of 500 people which makes
me feel very humble that such numbers would support my vision.

Quite simply, we took part in the ultimate day in Cerbera history and a unique sports car event.

We are not quite finished though, we have some unclaimed raffle prizes, the auction to win
among other items, race used LNT wheels and a ride in the ultimate Cerbera, the Speed 12
and then of course....the C.R.E.A.M 2005 DVD!

I don't know about you, but I'll never forget yesterday - What do you say, shall we do it again?

yeah!! great day Graham,
just to echo what everyone has said, thanks to everyone involved.
A great turnout, I thought we done well travelling over 200miles, but well done to all those people travelling much much further, Paul from luxembourg, the grey cerb from the Netherlands, and I'm sure there were a few more.

Well done Graham! For me this was the best motoring day this year.

Even if I didn't get mine ready in time.

But at least I got my Cerb fix to tide me over till mines back together.

Next time can we organise a night out somewhere with less err ruff ladies! They were sooo bad Ash fell asleep in one of the loudest clubs I've ever been in

Graham, you are the man!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Graham's wife Amy for her faith and support in Graham and his dream, which Graham has hands-down succeeded in achieving! Especially not forgeting the countless weeks spent on Cream organisation into the early hours of the mornings - you are a lucky man to have an understanding and truly enthusiastic partner, Amy

108 cerberas, and there still seemed be be quite a few who were unable to make it this weekend..

I thought it was an awesome sight, that many cerbs together, and wherever you stood, there was always one burbling past - beautiful !!!

All credit to Graham and everyone else involved, it was a fantastic day and a celebration of a very special car.

Looking forward to CREAM 2006

If Nickolai Somenski (dont know the right spelling) saw this event, I'm sure he would ressurect the Cerbera in a flash!

Graham, remember to send the DVD to Dave Oxley and NS too!!!

Thanks to everyone involved in organising CREAM! A good time, was, as they say, had by all - even SBaby enjoyed himself, despite a bit of complaining because he wasn't allowed a turn at driving.

What a fab day it was. The weather couldn't have been better, the car behaved impeccably and we even got to see a few Cerbs on the motorway on the way home. Excellent!

I've got some pics to show you all, but I haven't managed to get them online yet. I'll put them up for you all to see when I've got them organised. There are some pics from the Museum as well, if anyone's interested.

Now I know, though, why I haven't been asked to join the Triple S Girls, despite being called SGirl myself. It's 'cos I'm not blonde and I'm about a foot too short.

Graham,

Many thanx for organising such a wonderful event. CREAM 2005 was undoubtedly the best TVR event I have ever attended. Seeing all of those Cerbies lined up together was a sight to behold.

The track day was fantastic fun too, a nice mix of corners to test both car and driver.

Hope you can find the energy to do it all again.

Ceejay

P.S. Can't wait to see the DVD.

Thank you Graham and all thoughs involved in the organising, very special event enjoyed very much by all of us.
Nearly didn't make it home though due to er lets say major and sudden loss of air in both rear tyres at a tad over 70 on the M1 think i might need to do a search on the porous rim syndrome
