hi guys
not been on here for ages now since buying the gtr35 but still got my little cerb which hasn't moved an inch in a year, still tucked up in garage at home lol. its only done 500 miles since andy at apm built the engine for it so has to be the longest run in procedure of all time, maybe in another 3 years I may have completed the run in biggrin

I was over at spa around a month ago in the gtr and spotted two cerbs out on track, weather was horrendous, cold and chucking it down all day so had a couple of scarey moments myself and felt for you boys in the cerbs as they can be a handful in the dry let alone the conditions out on track which were very slippery.

I was coming round the last 2 slight lefthanders before the chicane on the main straight and just about to overtake one of you (think it was a champagne gold car) when your rear end just let go and saw you go skating off the track, don't think you hit anything though as was loads of runoff there.

no doubt il pop back on in another few months sticking my nose in again.............might even start the old girl up come spring and blow a few cobwebs off her tongue out
anyway that's about it really but would just like to wish you all a jolly happy xmas and all the best for you and your cerbs for next year

take care all

too many other toys, I should flog it really but cant bring myself to get rid of her.
plus whilst its not being used the mileage is staying nice and low lol

Criminal. Sell it to someone who can use it for what it was built for!
After nearly exceeding my 6000 mile insurance cap last year, and the new insurance being 5k, I might have to be resourceful on how not to cover as many miles wink

hiya scotty
yep I remember you doing the build up on yours so you have an excuse for not using it lol

I will drag her out again in spring but if im honest I just find the gtr so much easier to use on a daily basis that's why the cerbs been retired to the garage.
I would sell it but would never get back anything like the money I spent on her with the engine build and all so makes me reluctant to try advertising it as the way I look at it is you've lost nothing until you have sold it if that makes sense

who knows by spring I may have renewed interest in the old girl, but shes being well looked after though in the meantime : )
