Dink in a Cerbera
Discussion
There are 8 Cerbera's over here in the Netherlands, and Andrew's is one of 'em.
It's a '97 4.2 with the nice headlights and the original wheels. New Toyo's should give proper milage. Sportsexhaust gives full-sound experience. Pretty windy when you stand begind that car.
Engine's looking good, with a steady and already fierce idle. The cars is balanced and comfy like any other Cerbera.
It's a family car so Dink takes his 4 and 6 year old gallies. I like to raise 'em proper.
Ready for take-off.
"We'll need some 98 first."
Look at it being glorious.
Next: some notes about this beastie driving.

Is it my imagination, or do the tailpipes stick out a little too far?
And where did you get those glasses?!?!?!?
Other than that, congratulations on your purchase. With the right weather and an open road there's nothing to beat it.

The pic of the driver is Andrew (TheFarmer) at the wheel.
The girls are my (Dinkel)'s little devils.
The Cerb is Andrew's . . . I wish
but then, I would kill myself in a car like that.
I'm a bit more wild, used to underpowered Euroboxes and all that makes you floor about everything.
More pics this eve.

The Cerb's profile is intimidating. It has dat FFW-urge in the design. IMO original wheels look way better than spiders.
This in your mirror means: better make way. The AJP8 revs like a bike and has the acceleration to match.
After a loud ride we parked in front of the city-hall. Timeless design with nothing overdone still catches most eyes.
There's no match for the interior as well. Spacious enough to have me - the Sagaris is not! - both girls were screaming with enjoyment in great comfort and pace.
"Daddy we want a car like this one!"
Back home - engine and steering leak a tiny bit, what you see is water BTW - we pay neighbour and TVR-owner Alfred a visit.
More of that in a while.

Beautiful car, nice colour scheme.
If I may answer: the Cerbera is miles ahead.
It is a car with always enough on tap to outrun almost any supercar in sight, the Chim is a cruiser compared to the mighty Cerb. And I must say after a while the 4 litre's drone gets a little tired compared to the ultra-lively 4.2 AJP8. The car feels easy and agile, extremely tight upfront but I'm not really sure on the brakes.
I only have Boss' 4.5 to compare which is a bit more eager and a bit more quiet! Inside it's one of the best places to be.
Alfred's 4.5 really looks the bits. With a total of 8 I'm thinking of a Dutch Cerbera-meet.
It's his Taimar that ticks all my boxes. Best one I've ever seen.
He also has a full Webered (38's) V6 with over 200 horses ready for the T. "Or are you searching for a new car to match this engine Alfred?", was my suggestion
Since it was all covered up in blankets I don't have any more pics. But I really MUST ask him to go for a drive 'n shoot this summer.
Cheers all, Dink
