Hello everyone - I've accepted a new job which means that i should have more money to spend on a weekend toy - I currently have a Zetec'd Westfield that I don't really get much use out of, so i've been looking at the usual Elise's, but something is pulling me towards a Cerb. Is there anyone who lives around the Leicestershire area that has an AJP V8 that would fancy a ride out one morning (when the weather is better obviously!) so I can finally decide if it's for me or not? I find myself constantly coming back to Cerb's even though everything (usual potential running costs) is telling me not to.

cheers, Leigh

Sorry you have the wrong topic name, once you have caught the bug you never get it out of your system.

I am in Marlow and yu are welcome to come down and we can go for a run out, weather does not have to be good, I use mine in most weathers, I do try and avoid snow but that is about it. There are many Cerbs that live closer to you but happy to oblige if you want.

shoutWARNING! Make sure that you have done all of your sums very carefully before taking a pax ride. They are more addictive than Heroin!

Ha -true.

I really want to go and have a look at this chaps motor:

but realistically I don't want to mess the poor guy around as I won't be in a position to buy a new car until the spring (it sounds like he's had the runaround)

That one looks good and does seem very (too?) cheap!

That does look stunning. As you have said though, not really fair to view the car if you are only looking to buy in Spring.

I know. I could put my Westfield up for sale and raise the capital, but it would all feel a bit rushed, and to be honest I want to get some time in the seat of my westfield before I get rid of it anyway (probably not a bad way to prepare for driving a cerb)

thanks for the advice so far chaps.

You think it's too cheap? Looks a bargain to me and makes me feel pleased with what I paid for mine biggrin
