Griff Growl ROAR BBWF S Club Heaven - why nothing for Cerbs?

[mikeinsheffield]

Maybe this is because I'm relatively new to Cerb ownership (my first birthday on the 6th Jan!!!! ) but I can't help wondering why there's no annual get together for Cerbera owners???

If there's ROAR for Chimera's, Big Bad Wedge Fest, Griff Growl, S Club Heaven etc (there are probably others) - why is there nothing for Cerbera's???

From a year of reading PH, devouring SPRINT - I seem to recall seeing something about CREAM? Or is my brain just addled after over-consumption over the festive period?

Thought came to mind whilst marking up the 2010 kitchen calender with the SYTVRCC meets, obviously the Chatsworth weekend (NOT to be missed)......

Are Cerb owners inherently anti-social?
Or is this something that has been tried and was sh*te?

Maybe the Chatsworth gathering has now superceded any other Cerb get together????

We've had Cerburgring, SPAreRing and Spa Trek the last 3 years - the name might change but the spirit is the same . For the larger gatherings there's Chatsworth, Goodwood and Brighton STs which are gaining a cerb following...

Yep there was cream. Sxs said he was gonna organise something this yr but he seems to be away at present.

[Pursyluv]

I thought you had already started one - The Morrisons Carpark Gathering

Hard to believe that Cream was 5 years ago this year way back in 2005, shame really as I thought it was a cracking event.

It is a shame there hasn't been one for a long time, I think there was once a T car event too but I don't recall one of those for a long time either.

Hi Mike

Over the last year, I got some way with outline plans for a Cerbera event - possible locations, event format etc., but last year was busy busy with car stuff, so I failed to get anything nailed down....

I didn't make the Cream event, so I am left wanting!

But F'Ya Pants is right when he says we've enjoyed some fab European Cerbera Trips and long may they continue .

[Gazzab]

Mike - why dont we try and think of some Cerb owner 'extras' for Chatsworth? So we could all take part in the TVR gathering but maybe extend it to include some cerb only stuff eg a blast up snake pass, dinner at a local eaterie, maybe even camping somewhere for those so inclined. Am sure we could think of some good stuff...

CREAM was great fun, but I think the intention was to create a profitable event, and I'd put money on that it wasn't that.

The circuit trips look great fun, if too expensive for many.

There are a lot more Griffs and Chimaeras than Cerbs and that is a major problem in trying to arrange a Cerb event.

I've thought about arranging one, but it's just too much of a gamble, I think you'd need to be very brave to even think about it, oh and have money to lose.

Having said that: How about a 1/2 day track event at somewhere like Brands with a gathering in the bottom paddock, I'm sure Brands would be interested if they thought we could run a track event, I've run an evening one for TVRs in the past without hickups, and MSV have been VERY helpful.

Personally, as a Cerb owner, I prefer doing EuroJaunts etc rather than polishing the car all day Saturday to sit all day Sunday parked up in a field somewhere. If you want to show something off, go buy a pony

Less chance of me turning up on the wrong day too

Any plans for a Euro trip this year?

[FUBAR]

Well, myself and Amazon (and possibly some other Cerbs?) are going to the Le Mans Classic in July and are hoping to book 2 laps of the full circuit

Count me in for that please

[FUBAR]

If you're serious, contact PH 'Longers' via his website http://www.fasttracktours.co.uk/classic.php as he is holding a couple of spaces under my name. Have to be quick though

[FarmyardPants]

I like the hooning aspect of the euro trips and always feel we could venture a bit further afield. Quite fancy driving down to Monaco - Le Mans is on the way (ish), could be the first overnight stop .

[BLUETHUNDER]

I agree with Fubes. The euro trips are the best. As as been said. Its far better than sitting in some field.

Do you know if any other Cerbs are going convoy stylee?

Any rough indication to total costs?

Now this sounds like an outing!!
