No Problem Bob, good to meet you at last, thats one very nice Cerb you have bought. I will send the pics over as soon as I can, probably later today. YEahshame about the hoon, I did expect you to be a bit longer on the A272, but that was completely in the opposite direction to where I was going and needed to get back.

Enjoy the Cerb and remember the fatherly chat from the guy at DM, take it easy, for a while anyway.

Later

Mike

Hey Mike I would have suggested we follow you but didnt know which direction we or you were going in, but no matter next time

Lovely BoB..... Absolutely lovely

You do realise that you have ruined yourself for life in a car sense. First car V8s second car Cerbera. If ever, heaven forbid, you have to drop down to a 'normal' car you will not be able to live with it, it'll feel like it's goin backwards, and your probably more likely to hurt yourself in a normal car

Good luck with it BoB... Where the heck do you go from here ? To get a jump in performance.... I dunno ?

Could you not put a piece of black tape on your number plate and change the P to a B?

I know what you mean mate But after 28 years of walking and bumming rides, the grin factor is set to stay I recon, and I plan on keeping the cerb for a long time Besides, Ive always said one day I would be able to afford a lambo I think my slave seals have gone, dream machines seem sure, I spoke to them today (they were fantastic) and providing thats the problem I should be able to pick her up tomorrow.

Tonight matthew, Im going to be a corsa driver! Am I excited, you bet!!

Good news Rob, I'm glad you are having it sorted without any problems. I've only heard good things about DM, so here's to hoping that you are back on the road ASAP!

Just read your gear selection issues on the other thread.

Hope that gets sorted for you, But honestly It better it happens now than in 6 months time !.

I love Cerbera's but I don't think I'll ever own one as I'd worry about the upkeep bills. The S will be with me for a while I hope. Maybe a Griff500 in the Future tho.

Anyway, good luck.

Ditto.

The Cerb is gorgeous if you have the depth of wallet.

I like the Griff except those god damn awful rear lights and that really ruins the car for me, so it'd have to be a Chim oneday!

Great-looking car, that.

I think the Cerbera is the only newer Tiv that could tempt me away from the V8S, but it would be sheer folly to take one on. I just wouldn't be able to maintain it to a sufficient degree to make it (a) saleable in the future, and (b) less painful when the servicing comes round. I get the impression that TVR ownership is about keeping on top of the niggles so they don't become disasters. And always wanting more power. And shiny bits.

Having said that, I think Peninsula are going to charge me a sizeable percentage of my monthly salary in the next couple of days...

Although, having said that, I was pottering about around their yard for half an hour on Saturday and my car seemed to be the loudest thing with its engine running including a Lotus, Griffith, 2 Cerberas and a Chimaera... and I do love the sound of a rumbly V8.

Happy Days.

Cheers guys Im sure whatever you hanker after will come your way in time. I didnt want to wait and so part financed the venture. And my insurance is £250 a month till July, which isnt going to help me pay it off sooner

re: TVR owners, ever after more power, right now I cant fathom the notion with the cerb. If the car had 10cm of travel on the whoopass pedal, feels as if only the first cm would be needed to break the sound barrier. I floored the V8S the day I got it, pooped my pantelons I did, but am far too scared to even think about giving it large obergine in the cerb

I'll let you know how it goes with dream machines, who for the record have been great so far

Speaketh soon, oh my bretherin of the TVR cloth and thanks for the comments
