Collected my Cerbie yesterday - blue 4.5, left the Chim in the garage this morning, glad I did. Just been out for a spin. Got no more that a mile, looked in rearview mirror and there was an M3 with a 911 up its arse. Had a bit of fun with the 911, out dragged me on the slipraod to the A14 though. Stopped and had a chat. His 911 Turbo did have 560bhp and 4WD so I guess I can't complain (too much). He did comment on the great sound the Cerbie made - must be the ACT end pipes.

Hi Mark, congrats on getting the Cerb. I'll keep an eye out for you on the A14, sadly a road I use a lot!

What will you be driving then?

[central]

Where in Northants are you?

ETA Just realised who you are......

Somewhere near Rushden/Higham?

Hi Mark, nearly always a trophy blue MG ZS, but I should be collecting my Cerb Tues/Weds so I might take her Thurs/Fri so I can gate crash Central and blag a cuppa off him

He's fairly close to where you live (I think).

Firstly... a most warm welcome to Cerb Insanity
Secondly... for your wallet's sake I'd advise that these motors should be warm before you cane 'em otherwise you'll be looking at a rebuild before you're grin's narrowed !

A14 is full of average speed cameras, isn't it?

That'll be around 25 mph then.

A14 has static cameras from the M1 to Huntingdon, then there are loads of average speed cameras on the stretch to the motorway (M11?).

I live in the Kettering area and work in the Corby area. The previous owner highlighted the warming up issues.

Keep you eyes peeled for the regular Kettering meet over on the Northants forum.
