I picked up a hardly used breathable all weather cover for £100 at the weekend.

Excellent value.

I've bought a brand new one from Classic car covers, I had a leak in the footwell recently so decided to use said cover. Instruction read "do not use on vehicles that have had any paintwork done within last year"

doh.


Guess I'll throw it in with the car, later in the year.

Hi ya Graham, not yet, when I bought the car I intended keeping it for a year, then upgrading or trying something else.

I'm going to try a Viper for a year, but thats not till september, so I'm looking forward to the summer in this baby.

I'll have another Tiv in the future though.

Hi Russell

Interesting, I thought about a Viper but never tried
it in a work out. Have you?

Not yet Graham, I've been into the Viper chat room & closer to the date, I'll go to a meeting & have a look at one a bit closer.
If I don't like them, I'll have another cerb, plus I'm over 6 foot, so I want to see how comfy they are.
Another criteria is the dollar staying weak.
Only thing about buying a newer cerb is that this one has been reliable (so far) but for some niggles that I've had fixed.
It would be my luck, to get a newer one & have no end of trouble.
This one was one owner with 25k miles.

Do you fancy organising a Viper-Cerb meet ???

I don't see the $ staying this weak for too long, but
I'm no financial expert.


I just took the risk selling my older 4.2 for a newer
and higher spec 4.5.

Having sorted the old one, there was that nagging doubt....
What if etc, but I hope with the package I have and buying
from who I did and with two top names having worked on it,
I've covered as many bases as possible.

A Viper-Cerb meet - sounds a cool idea.

I can't help thinking that cerb owners would like vipers, or is it just me ???

If anybody sorts out a viper meet (nudge, nudge, Graham), I'll be there, especially a weekender.

I noticed you changed cerbs, brave move after throwing dough at the old one.

Good luck with the new one.

Russell.

I'm a Cerb owner, I'd like a viper

Benno has done it, but then again there are few cars he has not owned.

Most of the regular Viper owners are into track stuff, rather than parking in a car park so that may help persuade a few, the events list is filling very quickly for 04. It would be nice to see a few cerbera's run espicially down the 1/4, I rarely see a TVR, never mind a Cerbera (??)

Heard last night Benno has sold his viper on already...

RUSSELLM - I'm only 15 miles from the bulls head, so I could give you a spin sometime when the weather picks up a bit, with the dollar been so weak and a crash in viper prices (since the new model came out)in the USA there has never been a better time to buy from the US

Isn't this an invite only event?

I think there would be a few who'd like to get
together given the right venue.

Any suggestions Viper?

yes but TVR cars have been the backbone in all the previous years, I've heard they are trying to make it more of a 'Supercar' experience and quitely remove some of the marques. To be honest I don't personally class the viper as a supercar or a cerbera, more like the unobtainable vehicles K'egg, McLaren, etc but how many of them are about and would turn up.

Any suggestions Viper?
Not at the moment........ thinking

Graham, YHM.
