Hi there.

[GTti]

Just like to say Hi everyone.

Just bought a Cerbera 4.2 last Tuesday. This is my first TVR. I'm located in Forres, Morayshire which is up near Inverness. It was V8 Oats's one advertised on here.

As i'm new to all this i was wondering where about i would be able to locate chassis, engine and drivetrain manuals? I will be joining the TVR Car Club but still unsure whether they supply manuals on CD/DVD with membership? Hopefully nothing will go wrong but just incase ;-). I've looked on eBay but found none.

LOL

We're a friendly lot here. Welcome to ownership. Just be careful for the first few weeks/months.

Especially in the wet...................

Paul has warned me about treating it very gingerly in the wet and take time getting used to it. The two previous cars i've had have been highly tweaked Daihatsu Charade GTti's which only have 3 cyclinder 993cc engines (fancied a bit of a change LOL). I got to drive it almost 600 miles home so that was a nice road test I work offshore and crew change first thing Wednesday mornings. So Tuesday night (when i got the car home) I just had to park the car up, then jump on the train to travel through to work for two weeks. Its proving to be the longest 2 weeker ever LOL! Just want to get home ASAP to play with it

[SimonKD]

I can sense a few sleepless nights ahead.

But seriously, they can be real handful in the wet if not treated with the respect they so much deserve. There have been people on here who've mentioned the dreaded 3rd gear and how it has the knack of catching you out when you least expect it.

Get to know the car well and you'll have no regrets.

Regards
Simon

I have a couple of friends that live up your way, I'll need to give you a shout next time I'm up.

Howdy and welcome to the madhouse

hi craig welcome to cerbydom you will love it like byker said we are generally a friendly helpful bunch on here to answer questions you will no doubt get in ownership, but enjoy the thrill mate and dont want to bore you but take heed of warnings about aforementioned power/ wet weather etc. any way enough said once you are used to its awesome power you will get a real buzz not many cars i can think of that give me such enjoyment, looks (in and out), acceleration and the sound, oh dear think i will have to go for a drive!!

Hi Craig, almost bought v8oatz cerb myself! nice colour!
I agree with all the above! be careful in the wet
Bit of a different car to the little 3 pot! what made you go for the Cerb?

[DonnyMac]

Be careful - I only had my first Cerb for 10 weeks before chucking it into a couple of trees, a ditch and then someones back-garden.

I've had the second for 6 weeks and 5,000 miles, drive in all weathers, but know what I'm dealing with now.

Your cheeks must be aching with all the grinning!

As someone who helped me buy mine said - "I'm made up for you" - apparently it's a northern term.
