Well I now have a Cerbera!!

[grrrrr]

Picked the car up from the dealer the other day and to be honest, I wasn't looking forward to the drive home



Really naff week at work, headache and the fear in the back of my mind that something could go wrong/I'd lose the back end somehow. Anyway, the salesman must have thought I looked thoroughly miserable and said my drive home would put a smile on my face. TBH, because of my terrible week, It didn't



Well, I have driven the car a few times over the last couple of days and my opinion (with a clear head) is WOW. My right foot is getting steadily heavier as my confidence builds up. The car is so nice to drive and not the animal I thought it would be



Anyway, chuffed to bits apart for some tw@t scratching the rear bumper when I picked the kids up from School - Paint has been removed to the tune of 6 or so inches

Hey hey - congrats. Go for a spin for an hour you'll feel much better about life + get the guy to pay for a re-spray as all the other drivers will only be seeing that back of it.



Pics? where are the pics!

[grrrrr]

Unfortunately I don't know who did it Guaranteed the 4x4 brigade though.



Now I'm just awaiting the Noise Abatement Notice from my neighbours

[DonnyMac]

I've had that already!



"since you've had that bl**dy car my windows start shaking every morning - it's soooo loud"



"Thanks"

Oh Yes, I remember that sooooo well. Luckily I had a 600 mile drive home and as soon as she started on the Chunnel the smile didn't leave my fissog !

Congratulations and have a BRILLIANT summer.

Well done matey ... although sorry to hear about the scratch

[Byker28i]

Pah - 'tis but a scratch...





My neighbour sprayed mine with green fence paint just after I bought it and I mean sprayed. The outside was a mostly fence green colour when he finished and as my windows were open, so was the inside...



I never leave my car at school if I'm dropping off my son. He gets out by the gate

[grahamn]

Well done, you seem to have been looking for ages. Go drive and enjoy

Congratulations John! You are indeed a very lucky man Looking forward to seeing pictures. Oh and if you haven't done so already - you need to add your name to the 'Are Cerberas really this rare?' thread!



Also sorry to hear about the scratch, mine has a few battle scars as well! You know what's it like when you pick up a new car - you dread someone scratching it - you've just got it out of the way early.



Enjoy!

Nice work grrrr, but

[grass widow]

Must admit when we first got ours, I used to get all nervous before taking the cerb out, think MOH's statement of 'if you crash it, just post the keys' didn't help

Since we've had work done, and the peddles altered I love it and take it out every opportunity I get.

Enjoy the (hopefully) good summer, and don't leave the car unattended outside school, I don't I stand guard and the kids come to me.

[grrrrr]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone



I've yet to perfect things like hill starts etc, but I'm over the moon with the car.



I'm off on my hols tomorrow, but will try and post a picture or two before I go.
