I remember recently, we had a three of four people sell up in a short space of time, and there was a bit of a doom & gloom thread going on.

Is it me, or does there seem to be a prospective buyer / owner along everyday ?

To a point where we've even got people on here waiting to buy with money in their pockets as well.

UP THE CERBERAS

All I need now are a few more Irish buyers.

We have the grand total of three Cerbs over here now.

More noise needed ..... driving driving driving

It's that time of year, people see a little sun and think of long summer days. Razzing down that country lane, scaring the shit out of man and beast with de-cats. I love it!

I did the other day, and it wasn't very dramatic actually, but then again my Cerb isn't very noisy - decatted with standard back box. It seems the tunnel isn't very echoey, which to everyone except us is a good thing!

Mind you, it was fantastic getting from near the airport to the docks in 3 minutes! At the time I did it, about 4.30pm, it would have taken an hour on the surface.

Been through a couple of times, always after the 10 PM price drop at the toll.

Here's a vid we made in-car on our first time through it

And here's a vid that DS20 off Octane made on the last spin through.

I'm quiet near the start of it and make an appearance later on too.

But I've got the type of exhaust you don't like ..... sports exhaust AND de-cat so it's loud.

Also I see you are coming on the Octane March Mega-Meet hoon.

I must try and get Seanie in the Speed-6 to come along as well.

It would be nice to have the three Irish Cerbs together on a hoon.

It's fab that there are so many new buyers but a 98 4.5 in Sprint for £10,000. Sad day!

When I see the prices now I wish I'd waited an extra six months to buy.

Oh well .....

Yes, if he comes we'll have all three breeds of cerb there!

When I went thru the tunnel I TRIED to make it loud, but it seems they've made the tunnel pretty acoustically quiet, which is actually a good idea. I went thru London's Blackwall Tunnel a couple of months ago, thats a 'round' tunnel and it was NOISY!

BTW it's after 10am that the dub tunnel drops to 6 euro for cars, which considering the time saving in getting across the city I think thats OK. I'd rather do that than pay 1.90 and sit on the M50 for an hour.

But at 4.30 the other day there was hardly any traffic in that tunnel, if I was a bad boy I could have sped down it way above the 80km limit!

After 10 it actually drops to €3.00

Have a look at the vids in the links above.

I managed to make a bit of noise in there driving

I actually obeyed the speed limit all the way through.

Ming with the 360 Modena had been through earlier and got done.

He rang me and had me warned off.

Still, second and third gear makes a lot of noise in there.

I believe there's no speed cameras in there but they do wait for you at the exit.

Or so I'm told ....

In Cork they hide around the corner as you come out and get you there.

Not too sure about Dublin.
