After admiring the Cerbera from afar and never thinking the day would come I've paid the deposit on my favourite motor, thanks to Tony Gilbert and a few others for their advice and help over the last week or so.

Hopefully 11th January, had a test drive today and had actually made my mind up before I even got behind the wheel myself.
Lovely setting Tony's got there - not easy to get the right road though LOL.

I agree finding him is tricky! It had been six years since I bought my cerb & finding him again was more luck than judgement!

It's great that you have christmas to look forward to & picking your cerb up in jan...you will be counting the days & I was like you when I bought mine I had made my mind up before I got behind the wheel, epic cars! smile

Day finally came, picked it up this morning and what a great car - thanks to Tony Gilbert for all his help and advice.
Looking forward to living with a Cerbera now, picked up my lad from school in it and all members of the family had a ride this afternoon.

Welcome to the club thumbup
I love my cerb today as much as I did when I picked it up 6 years ago, maybe more smile

Edit: that'd be 7 years ago. Time flies almost as fast as the scenery lol

Looks great, I remember the excitement of getting my car as if it were only a few weeks since, oh hang on it was only a few weeks since.

looks like you got it just in time for the snow too wink.

Enjoy but take it easy as many have said, the roads are slippy, especially with these cars.

Yup, one of the few vehicles that can distort the space/time barrier ( at least in one's head )
