You stupid, stupid, STUPID man...

[Hughesie2]

Was due to pick up my new Cerbie tomorrow, due i hasten to add...

Had a phone call this evening, a very embarrassed one may i add, from the current owner, he'd gone out for that one last blast as you do, as i did in the chim yesterday (a 400 mile one !!) and done the unthinkable, stuffed it into a lamp post coming off a greasy island, so Mark, if you come on here, i hope you're OK...

Take it easy out there fella's, one less Cerb out there, should keep the residuals up (and the insurance!!) and back to the drawing board for me, god it took me Soooooo long to find my perfect Cerb !

oh dear! not good! i took my new cerb home today and found out also that the roads are really greasy at the mo!back end out a few times with spinning up the wheels on the way home!heh heh!

[Cyclone1]

Hughesie, that's desperately bad luck. Good luck finding another one and glad to hear Mark is ok.

[trackcar]

Awwww that's a real shame for you and Mark of course .. is the car very badly damaged?

Good luck in yuor search again .. nice cars are out there, as you have found out they can be hard to track down but keep at it .. you seem very keen to get a cerbie so perserverence will pay off in the end. You may still get a great xmas prezzie for yourself

[seasider]

St Hope mark is ok & you find another...



or you could get a griff

That is mighty bad luck, but at least all are OK.

Those roads are indeed dodgy at the moment - had a bit of a jiggle myself today while accelerating hard in 2nd in a straight line

Yep, i had a moment in 3rd yesterday from about 40, all's ok with mark, (muppet) and the Cerbs looking quite sorry for itself apparently...

Bummer, never mind I'm sure you'll find another one.

But thats made my mind up, the cerb is staying in the garage. I'm not wrapping it round anything then having to explain it to my other half when he gets home.

That piccie in your profile nearly made me cry, the car i was picking up tomorrow was that in Black

[mad mark]

thats really bad news good to hear Mark is ok.
How bad is the car is it repairable? maybe you could get it at a big discount and have it fixed yourself?

Cars repairable, but not sure even i would buy a bent one mate

[purpleheadedcerb]

I know the cerbera is powerful but if you keep it below 3000 rpm, theres only 150bhp or so coming out. Save the upper reaches of the rev range for really straight bits with a grippy surface.

Sorry to hear about your ruined purchase BTW. Maybe it's fate and you'll find a better car at a better price.....

Jesus... At least everybody walked away I hope. This is another crash story we get to read about on PH and say 'there but for the grace of god go I'. Its a good time to buy now since its winter and prices are lower than in summer, so happy hunting.

[Mrs Triple S]

Sorry to hear that Justin

I am glad that the driver is okay - He is probably just as gutted as you are.

I bet you said something similar to this

I picked up mine Friday, luckily it was in one piece. Still didnt stop it scaring the crap out of me as the back end came out...on a hill at 50...in a STRAIGHT LINE!

One Healthy dose of respect earned...

Hope you find another one soon...

[budaholic]

Sorry to hear this Justin....

I feel for ya mate.... Keep up the search

[bosscerbera]

What a shame.

An unfortunate reminder of how mental Cerberas are.

[HarryW]

Great shame, not sure who'll be the sickest though, you or the seller .

[Vulture mode on] If it was that good condition and the repair is not more than a Cat D it cpould make a good buy, must keep my eye out, who's was it btw [Vulture mode off]
