hi guys p/h seemed to delete my other thread deeming it was a for sale thread which i guess it was really in hindsitelaugh
i didnt do this on purpose it was just more of a thankyou thread to all the help you guys have given me since i owned the car, top fellas on here so once again thankyou for all your help beer

as said in other thread....just dont get time to use the car and what with work etc so its a waste leaving it sitting there not getting the use it deserves, just a pity i spent sooooo much on her which il never get back but hohum lol

thanks for the good wishes lads!

hiya graham
yeah had big plans for using her on track after the ride in yours, gotta say i was well impressed with yours at donnysmokin
no doubt our paths will cross at some stage next year and il return the compliment but unfortunately youll have to settle for a ride in some japcrap lol

ive just bought one of the new r35s with 650bhp conversion as were moving into dealing with those aswell as the gtirs and 500s so need to free up some cash for the new business venture to go ahead

il look in on the site from time to time to see what you lads are upto and il try do the spa trip next year. if my new venture takes off ok then i will deffo buy another cerb as you cannot beat that roar from these cars or sheer no holds barred acceleration without all the gadgetry, they are a real drivers car.
i just wished i had of had more time to drive the thing, less than 600 miles in around 2 years of ownership tells me no at the mo unfortunatelyfrown

I wish I'd bought your Cerb - but I couldn't have afforded it, it must have been an absolute bargain!

Have fun with your Skyline - they are incredible, but my friends say they are so clinical that they drain every ounce of enjoyment from the driving experience. They could be completely wrong - what do I know???

yeah the r35 is a fantastic car theres no doubting that, its super fast handles like its o rails plus has all the upto date gizzmos so you can go to tescos in it then down to south of france then straight on the nurburgring and drive home if you wish
turn all the traction control off and other electronic gizzmos and it becomes a real beast to try and control lol
but......the one thing it does lack which the tvr has is 'soul' everytime you get behind the wheel in a cerb you seem to become one with the car and it puts a big grin on your face coupled with the unmistakable noise of a cerb

im not advertising the cerb yet, i dont have to sell it and im dragging my heels on it, if im honest its the mrs thats getting on my case. even if i do end up flogging her il only sell it to someone i knew was gonna look after her as ive put so much into it over the years

Don't do it. You will regret it. I have just sold my Capri and SWMBO was very very happy. However on Friday I bought my first TVR, a Cerbera and she hasn't spoken to me all weekend. My take is I only get it in the neck when I talk about or use the car but whilst I'm in it, or thinking about being in it, my smile over powers the frown and growls from next to me. She will get use to it being around.
