C'mon mate, do tell. Did you pick your car up or not? Welcome to the fold Whats your initial thoughts? Or are you still out driving it?

[Steve_T]

Sadly all did not go to plan on the weekend, so I haven't got her yet. It just wasn't my weekend, in addition to woes on the car front I got home to do some maintenance to the bike. I then stripped one of the threads on the rear sprocket bolts, so now the bike is unusable too. Never mind. I hope to be able to report back with better news later this week.

Will have another go at collecting her later today.

We're all home after a very long day. The cerb is finally here and she's gorgeous. I did get upset leaving the Chimaera at Castle's but I hope she's off to a good home. I'm sure Steve will add to this when he finally gets off the phone.
Cheers

Karen.....welcome to the Cerb forum...

It's great that you have joined the Cerby family.......shame that I'm just about to leave it .. but these lads need a woman to keep them in check and you are JUST the one to do it......

One word of advice.......never (ever) mention the word

oooh, the firm hand of a good woman (or is it the good hand of a firm woman)


Congrats to the Ts for their slendid choice. A proper car at last!

Nick you cheeky blighter!

Well, last night I spent learning where everything is on the car. So far I have managed to angrily swish the windscreen wipers at someone who's driving I took exception to and attempted to clear the windscreen a few times with the indicators

She also goes very nicely The only issue I can see is the risk to my license - pretty much any speed seems effortless.

Overall a big

Steve.

Nice one Steve and Karen

Any news on the Burble?

[Steve_T]

What I didn't do was remount the spark amp on the metal plate it attaches to. This acts as earth. School boy error on my part, corrected in moments by Mr Batty. This probably explains why I had 12v and you had zero when we were comparing notes.

Cheers,

Steve.

Exciting stuff Steve look forward to seeing it.

Cheers Tim

Thanks Tim, especially for your help on the weekend. I'm looking forward to some interesting developments from ACT this year If I can help you out some how, let me know.

Cheers,

Steve.

Steve, sorry to see you leaving the Chim world, especially after you'd just (kind of) got Burble into top tune. Oh well.

I'll look forwards to seeing the new monster when I can get down to a Surrey meet.

Thanks Rob. She has the ACT hose and trumpet base, Bosch injectors, meter & coil, Magnecors and a Tornado chip, oh and Nitrons. I was in the process out sorting out Brembo 4 pots to stop her for when the triple plenum, uprated Cam and Omex went on. The Brembos arrived recently and I'm very much looking forward to seeing them on a friends car soon.

I'm hoping whoever picks her up will enjoy her as much as we did and finish the job I started. I can see the Cerby going down the same road as there's clearly a lot of knowledge out there on genuine improvements that can be made (and potentially 400bhp to be had ).

Cheers,

Steve.
