Going to pick up new car on Saturday from Offord. Lovely 4.2 with sports exhaust.

Been lurking on the forum for bloody ages waiting to take the plunge, now I've finally done it.

Colour is Halcyon Blue (turns to green in sunlight).

Anyone know where I can get a greenpeace sticker for the car (I'm recycling because I bought a used one)!!!

Congratulations on the new purchase......although I have to say Silver is the fastest colour (but I am biased)!
Will it be a daily driver? Remember one of the most important things for a 'trouble-free' Cerbera is to use it as often as possible!!!

Yes that was probably me. Had a nice chat with Russell whose Cerb was in for a new steering rack.

Hi smithsi, that's my old car! wavey
Feel free to ask any questions, my running history is on my profile if you're interested.
Think you've bought a good 'un, I had some great times in it (and am sorely missing it)! Just make sure you head home via as many tunnels as you can, the noise is awesome!

Cheers
Ross

It's so wonderful to find, in this world of doom and environmental gloom, another nutter out there.
Congratulations and wishing you many, trouble-ree miles of Cerbdom !

Ten o'clock last night just got a bollocking from the girlfriend (fiancee) about buying the Cerbera (why couldn't I drive a Toyota).

Hope she comes round. It was her that told me to go buy it, so I did (could have been sarcasm).

She says she's more worried about the curves of the Cerbera than another woman (I'm not sure how to take that). At least when she's in the car I won't be able to hear her over the V8.

Interesting profile, already wondering if I'm technical enough and whether I should go on a mechanics course!!! Very pleased with the car.

Wow, your missus is worried that you might have a love affair with the cerb!

Of course you will, it's unavoidable!

All the times you may argue, and fall out, the days when things dont go too well and you feel like getting rid of her, the days when she costs you way too much money, you'll forget it all as soon as you open the garage door, climb in and crank up her V8. (i'm talking about the cerb of coure) clap

yes MOH is constantly on pins looking for an excuse to go out in the car when he's home on leave, its not very good for the ego knowing he would rather be out hooning in Trev than at home with me

Mind you I'm getting antsy waiting for Trev to come back from the garage before MOH comes back on leave so I can get out in him before we have to start fighting for the keys.
