Quick note to say what an awesome drive to Duxford. You're all nuts and I loved it!

Missus hated it and was glad to see you all leaving the carpark to come home just as we were getting back to the car so we couldn't tag along (bugger!)

Next time will definitely be leaving her at home.

Glad you enjoyed it. I thought we were being quite restrained!!! The slip road off the M25 onto the M11 was fun though!!

Was a normal Ratpac drive, except that we didn't have our car there, so Chloe couldn't show you lot how it's really done....

For those that haven't already seen them, there are 1 or 2 pics on my site (more to follow)... www.tvr-cerbera.fsnet.co.uk

We are well behaved upstadning member of society - our maths and sign reading skills however need a lot of work as 7 cerbies into one lane on a slip road does not go and I thought the black stripe on the national speed limit sign meant 'we want to see lots of these on the tarmac please!!' Oh and the national speed limit is 140 is it not

Great fun although the weather did its best to pi55 us off.....

When is the next meet ??

Had a good blast yesterday too....Toyota Supra thought he was out of The fast and the furious' but was missing the NOS the big turbos and all the other 50k malarky required to make a Supra a Cerbera challenge....sat on my arse at 80 flashing so a quick trip to 160 saw him back off at an alarming rate....and pull in way behind when I slowed down to ensible speeds....hehehe...never going to grow up....

If I had a Cerbie in my pants I'd stroke it all day.

Personally I prefer to stroke it in the garage, fnarr fnarr.

Let me know next time you are going out for a blast if you need another blue cerb to tag along to make up the numbers.

Olly, top pictures. The one of me in th outside lane with Dean (?) in front and Fraser on the left has just become my Wallpaper.

Surely THE greatest line of the day!

Got to meet up with the Ratpac when I'm back in town. Your driving exploits have me wishing I was traveling 12 hours west by plane this minute.



P.S Never been in a Cerb. What does it feel like a 160? The Mrs has taken a big fancy to the Cerb and is now considering one over a Tuscan and Maserati spider.

Maranellouk - at 160 it feels very stable (unless you have a serious crosswind) and it is still chomping at the bit like a stallion thats been kicked in the nuts....however over 175 the car becomes an awful lot lighter and prone to lane changing of its own accord....but if you grip on tight you can overcome this...

Been in a Tuscan at 150 and it was good but they do have a nasty habit of wandering - mind you whether this is because they are sitting too high on their springs and have bad original setup or whether it was cos the driver was cutting my hair at the time I would not know..... If you want a convertible spose you'd have to go for the tuscan If you don't care then get a sorted Cerbera

Beg permission to use this on a regular basis. Wondering just how to go about translating this into Catonese and Mandarin.

Something to do with being a foriegner. Gwai lo(monster man/devil man). Term used for Caucasion person but extended to describe any non-Chinese.

Should really know this. Had all the books/CD's/VCD's/DVD's and learned sweet Football Association!
