Did a 250 mile round trip today and had a wonderful
time with the car.

One of those days that underlines just why the Cerbera
is the only car for me.

Nicely warmed up, it flew like a bullet on the strangely empty
motorway with the engine sounding like it was purring at
a high speed cruise.

Got all the usual head turning and attempts to race me and
all while my wife, daughter and brother gave it
lots of ZZzzz's

Out onto some minor roads, it swept through the
corners without a hint of twitch ( might be down to having
3 adults and a child in the car ) and to make the day complete,
it used only half the fuel expected.

What a great day and for many more reasons....

Easy, we have 4 in the car quite often,
epecicially now as my brothers' griff is whimping it
out in the garage all winter!

We'll have four again today for the TVRCC meeting.

Sounds and looks idyllic.

I was tempted to have a drive up to Yorkshire yesterday, but the weather constantly threatened rain so i put it off. Wish i had now.

Classic!


Had another great run today.

Drove up to Daventry and showed 'TVR SLAG' and family
(inc TVR SLAG' BiL - Hi Nick hope the run home was
ok? ) the new house before going for a blast
through the country side with the two Cerberas.

Nice meeting too at the new venue Dennis if you see this.

Top weekend all round.

Hi Grahmam,
Great to meet you and the Family, including your Fly Catching Brother! Great time looking at your new plush pad, not too sure about the 'Mud' Effect Carpet. Think your quite right about have just the one Runway for the Jet, maybe a Helicopter pad in the Summer?

Great thrash about on the back roads, large amounts of throughout!

See you all again soon

Brother in the back is 5.8, so not that small.

Graham

I notice you've failed to mention to everybody about the small firework display you entertained the Warwickshire countryside with as your car full of people grounded out on the crappy UK roads. Wish I could have seen it but was busy overtaking everything (whilst still remaining well within the designated speed limits).

Damn, blown my November 5th surprise display!

Indeed, helpful that everyone else was doing 50mph so we
could safely overtake at no more than 60mph.

Top day - and brilliant news you gave us mate.
