your cerb unless you really have to.
sold mine 3 weeks ago due to cash flow probs,my thinking was if i cant maintain it properly i cant have one.
as the new owner drove off i knew then i had made a big mistake,fast forward 3 weeks packed up smoking and have gone and bought a viper blue chimaera
what have i done?.
had the car a week now and although it is a very nice car,drives well etc its not a cerb.
when i had my cerb and i knew i was going out in it the excitement expectation was there,waiting for the garage door to raise thinking hurry up i want to press the black button
every drive being a event,sitting at traffic lights looking across and receiving a knowing nod
what a great feeling that you know that they know.
all i know is i need another cerb,big time.

I think I feel the same way about the cerb as you did about the chim - I really just have no time for it, it was a mistake.
Yours for £8,500 as it stands with suspected oil pump issue (which may or may not be covered by APM bottom end waranty to March 09).

You can't have mine!
I went through all of this at the end of last year. Advertised it, had some interest and then decided I would keep it and sod the expense.
In the end I WAS made redundant, and my financial life is no bed of roses, but whenever I get a little stressed about it - I go for drive...

Don't sell your Cerb
Don't sell your Cerb
Don't sell your Cerb
repeat daily
I did 15 months ago & still misiing her! and these threads don't help either!.........
Would have bought another by now but this bl@@dy credit crunch isn't helping in the planning process
If you do sell you will only find yourself looking at the classfieds on a daily basis
Glad you kept the car Morebeanz, tis a good one.

Threads like these put a smile on an owner's face - well, mine anyway. They sort of make you realise that you don't appreciate what you've got until it's gone.
Having said that, circumstances change and I think everything's got a price, so can understand why people are tempted to sell from time to time.
Morebeanz I wondered what happened to yours. It was one of the ones that really caught my eye when I was looking to buy (seem to remember seeing a picture of it blasting through the City). Must have been about a year ago at least.
Anyway, thought it looks the business and still do...

Seeing Morebeanz' car at the Silverstone Classic did it for me. Lovely Having said that, circumstances change and I think everything's got a price, so can understand why people are tempted to sell from time to time.

Im having the same delemma, should I shouldn't I, been quite tempted by a Tuscan s even arranged to go see it at the weekend but opening the garage door this morning and seeing fluffy - jumping in pressing the button and bursting into life (the car not me) just brings it home there really is nothing like a cerb. Was thinking the Tuscan looks more upto date and trying to convince myself thats what I shoud do but I really dont think I can take the plunge, whats your oppinions guys as if I need to ask am I making a big mistake.
Cheers Ian

Wake up, throw a bit of cash at the suspension and continue firing forward towards the horizon in one of the greatest cars ever created. Cheers Ian
The tuscan to my eyes has never looked right.
I sold my Cerb about a year ago and really do miss it :-(
But ive just got married and the other half wouldnd drive it, i ran out of cash to keep it running and pay for a wedding plus couldnt really run 2 cars (only 1 parking space etc etc).
I suppose it really depends on the circumstances. I agree that most people that sell just to buy something newer will prob miss it. I think nothing else (short of at least 50k) comes close!
