I'm in Dalgety Bay too? I had the Yellow one that rumbled about for a number of years. Now got a Tuscrap Challenge Shed that doesn't rumble anywhere...but the less said about that the better.

The kids did mention they saw a Cerb in the Bay the other day. Next 'Scottish' event is TONIGHT!!! Glenvarigill TVR & Caterham session at Knockhill 5:00-7:00, sign in at 4:20. Next its the Mount Stewart thingumyjig on Sunday, and you can always pop along to the monthly TVRCC meets at the Dunnikier House Hotel in Kirkcaldy, 1st Saturday every month @ 1:00. Also, find the tvr-scotland group on yahoogroups - link off tvrcc-scotland.co.uk. Not too active in terms of postings, but join and you'll hear what's going on.

William, have seen you travelling up the link road a good few times. I'm down at the Moorings. I'm pretty new to this game so no doubt you'll be hearing from me regards advice etc! No 67 If you fancy a spin!

Not lately you haven't , unless you keep an eye open for nissan primeras. The Cerbera went in May, traded against a Tuscan Challenge Car...and no-one's seen that trundeling about except on the back of a trailer

I'm in Lumsdaine Drive, and happy to help out with anything I can. Had the Cerb for 3 1/2 years and had most 'user servicable' bits that broke/fell off apart.

Try to keep Saturday October 4 free, and pop along to the Dunnikier House Hotel in Kirkaldy for around 13:00. The TVRs don't park in the main car park, so don't just drive in, see none, then drive away again. We park [we...hah...as if I've had a TVR to take lately] in a 'secluded' area off the main car park to the right. Basically drive right down to the hotel front door then look to your right and there's an area behind the hedge.

Native's are usually friendly , and there is usually a couple of other Cerbs there.

4th of October is in the diary. I've been behind you a few times in your yellow cerb you used to have. I had a blue M3, infact I've still got it, anyone want to buy it!! Was trying to get you to floor it one time to see how fast you were past Inverkeithing high school but you weren't having any of it. Oh that reminds me! Heading towards edinburgh yesterday (just past forth bridge)and some chap tried to toast me in an S3(really smart one as well). Boy did he get a lesson! Turned left at the Barnton with his tail between his legs! C ya!

Glad to hear I wasn't having any of it I never like the idea of playing racers on the road - keep it for track days! 'past Inverkeithing high school' is maybe the give-away here. Any loon can keep up with a cerb on the streets, they just end up driving dangerously. Its also surprising how many 'fast' cerberas end up at track days going round like grannys. Better to keep them guessing on the road and fry them on track

Hey guys, I'm a former Dalgety Bay'ite, now at Uni in Glasgow but I come back from time to time.

Yeah there is alot of exotica driving about in the bay including a Ferrari F40 which i have seen bouncing up the link road on a few occasions. I'm pretty sure it was at the recent Glenvarigill track day at KH too...

William, I used to see your yellow Cerbera quite a bit and I also seen your Tuscan Racer at the Glenvarigill Track day, nice car.

Glenvarigill Track day? Yea, that would be where it managed a whole lap under its own power.

Willie - I saw you and your purple disaster area at KH at the trackday as well. I was going to come over and say hello but you looked soo pissed off i thought the better of it - you and Colin were in deep discussion at the time!!

I hope things have progressed - any updates?

No real progress, but the Police were round to inspect it yesterday to investigate a few 'anomalies' over its age and identity. In the hands of the lawyers. Can't say too much more here though...mail me direct if you want to discuss offline.

Me too!

I was at Knockhill knocking lumps out of 996's, 355's etc.

Great fun! Just sorry you couldn't have joined us for longer Willie. You certainly won the prize for Best Sounding Engine in Pits.

Used to live in Kirkcaldy, Cerby now strutting its stuff in & around Inverness.

Ha ha, I spent most of the day down at the hairpin watching you slither round and then chase the donkeys up the start/finish - looked like a lot of fun!

Although I live in Edinburgh these days, am originally from Inverness and have always thought that it would be good part of the world to be scooting about in a cerby!
