Spotted on dual carriageway at Talbot Green.
I was in the blue Chimaera but embarrassed at how dirty mine was compared to your lovely shiny example.

Nice to hear what they sound like from outside for a change - liked the afterburner lights!

I was amazed at how low the Chimaera is to the road, is mine that low?! You don't get the chance to see others very much.

How long have you had the car?

Tweren't me...but do you live in the Talbot Green area?

I've heard of a few PHers from the area, but haven't 'spotted' any(!)

My V8S will be coming out of its winter home once we move house (5 weeks and counting...)

It was me, my first ever spotted after having the car for four years. Yes yours is that low as well and it didn't look that dirty to me!! You're right, it is good to see (and hear) another on the road at the same time to give some perspective. As you said at the lights by Tesco's, what was the chance of two P reg Chims being in Talbot Green today!! Especially as I only decided to bring it out for a spin at the last minute. I think we have crossed paths at the Castle Mynach pub before? Last year I think. You don’t go through Rhiwbina by any chance as my brother in law regularly sees a dark blue Chim going up his street (Heol y Nant). Have you seen the dark blue Cerbera that travels the old Llantrisant Road??

Chutmun, is your V8S red, if it is we exchanged waves by Miskin Quarry before Christmas (not far from my house). Its been seen around a few times.

Nope that twernt me either

Mine is dark (mica) blue. Hasn't been out and about over the winter due to lack of garage and foward planning

Will be rectified in 4 1/2 weeks though (moving house)

Hey, glad to see you're on this list too and glad to give you your 1st spotted - I haven't had one yet either and drive mine every day. I used to live in Rhiwbina up until last Summer, now in Thornhill but I still drive through Rhiwbina a lot. There is also a guy with a blue Chimaera on Wenallt Road and I there used to be someone else with one in Thornhill in the Cae Garw estate.
I'm not sure if its the same Cerbera that you mean but there's a guy called Ian who has a Cerbera and lives just outside Groesfaen, so that may be him.

Cheers,
Matt
