Cerbera Physical Size

[PuffsBack]

Never really thought of it before but I took this photo at the weekend of my Cerbera and my mates E46 M3 - the Cerbera looks tiny in comparision, the windscreen is half the size.

There was a photo on here a year or so ago with a mini next to a cerb - quite eye opening.

Yeah, normally the Cerb is sat next to my Disco 3 which is so huge it dwarves most things so never really noticed before. Just once we took this photo it really stands out how small they are.
I have a photo somewhere of my Griff parked next to something like a Daawoo Matiz and in that it looks small but I suppose because the Cerb is 'big' for a TVR I was just surprised

lol - that is classic

Found the photo of my Griff with a giant 4 wheeled tin box behind

Remember the first time I saw a Cerbera, I thought whoa that's big! (compared to my ol Griff)

Side by side with a Range Rover, the roof is about level with the bottom of the windows :-)

When the RCZ came out I remember thinking "Wow, that's low and sleek"
I pulled up beside one the other day and almost broke my neck trying to see UP into the driver's window

I garage my Cerb in a council garage,as long as i park it as far as i can over to the left i can get out,if i try and put my Mondeo in the garage i can get it in but i can`t open the door to get out!

That's unfair to compare it to a Maxi!

A picture paints a thousand words.

I build 'Minis' and I'm proud to say that about 1/3rd of the worlds Minis have been through my hands. But, sporting Minis have 18" wheels standard and that is an aftermarket upgrade for many Cerberas. Just look at the photo again. The Cerbera looks like it should be in the distance. Not surprisingly, they can weigh about the same. Remember the days of the standard 13" - 15" wheel for most cars and 18s were WOW. Sorry kids, I'm getting fuddy duddy.

The first picture of this thread is just about the best I've ever seen. Thumbs up!

You know that thought when you're looking out of your side window and you're watching the wheel nuts of a lorry spinning around and the tyre is about as tall as you. It's the same feeling as looking up at the stars and feeling quite insignificant.
In a world where the big car portrays opulent enviromental armageddon, we can say 'I only drive a small car' and let's argue that, and it's only a few thousand miles a year, at most.

Thank you

I actually took it as my mate who owns the M3 in the shot has a friend who lives in Denmark who's a petrol head and wants to persuade him to come over to the UK for a visit. Powerful cars in Denmark are very expensive because of the tax regime so we thought the thought of combined 700bhp of BMW and TVR for him to ride in might gee him up a bit
