At home I have 5 cars on the drive (well 4 and one in the garage [the cerb])
The mercedes - Broken Down yesterday
The Mazda - Engine Self Distructed 2 weeks ago
The Isuzu - Heater plugs are fooked and have to be drilled out and re-tapped as they were seized in.
The Peugeot Boxer Van - +200,000 miles and running strong (had to come to work in that)
The Cerb - apart from having a hole in the back its the only other car which actually runs, trusty old british engineering at its best. If it wasnt for me crashing the Cerb it would have been my chariot of choice this morning.

So much for the reliable Germans and Japs, beaten by an "unreliable" TVR and a nearly dead Frenchman.

Yes, my , normally , reliable volvo broke ! So the Cerb has been put into daily service through rain and snow, apart from having to drive "carefully" and having the usual freezing feet , it has been fine.

Me too, my little polo daily drive didn't want to start the other day as it was too cold - thank goodness the Cerb is a tough Brit that can handle the cold...

Today I had to use the Cerb to jump start my daily drive. This is after the cerb has been sat, (without being started) in the garage for the best part of two months. thumbup

And before anyone says anthing, yes I know I should be driving it more. Might have to go for a drive for a pint of milk... driving
