After three weeks of ownership I was driving the Cerb cross country this morning for about 25 miles and I can honestly say for the first time everything clicked..the car just felt like a glove and for the first time felt right....

It is surprising how long it actually takes to get used to the car and drive it with some skill...

I know exactly how you feel - after 2 Chimaeras, my Cerb felt really slow, I was very dissapointed, then suddenly, just like you said - it just clicked, wierd isn't it.

I've had my cerb maybe five months now.It took two weeks scared to open it up,a month not to be intimidated and just when I'm driving hard, got my suspension's right...Cold air & wet roads. anybody else feel a big difference in power when the temp drops to BBrrrr oC.? Mine feels like it's running on super-steriods.

Owned my 98 4.2 for a week now and havent driven it enough to click but so far its bloody great! Just last night at the chippy a bloke wound down his window as i walked past and he said 'that car sounds awesome mate!'

Saw the pics of your car Al - shame - it was after the whitby run yeh? (spoke to the surveyor who saw the car on hisway home). Glad to hear it will be back with you soon.

Cheers Pete

Drove my down from Scotland to London when i purchased it, so the click happened quite quickly!! ......... aquaplaned in a big circle in the pooring rain a month or so later....... funny how quickly the 'Un-Click' happened after that!!

Still love it, just know exactly what can happen in the wet now! Can't believe how many cerb smashed up threads on here lately...... gutted for em all!!!
