Hi Mark, got mine on the Friday just been. My advice is be very VERY careful with your right foot. I was a bit naive at first as to just how little of the power available will send you into an arms all over the place moment. Also the difference in traction between dry and wet is staggering, bone dry and hot is what you need. You have to be so careful with the accelerator in the wet, half an inch of pedal is enough to have a moment. Even in the dry over confident acceleration will bite you on the arse.
I thought I was an okay driver until I got in the Cerbera. Now I know that Im a big girls blouse! :-) :-)

Cheers guys,
Yeah the colour combo is certainly...er....in yer face! I was a bit dubious as to it to until I saw it in the flesh, the pics just dont do it justice - you cant see the pearlescent paint in the pic which looks amazing.
It has done 35k miles and is mint, no wear marks on the seat and apart from a few stone chips on the front the outside of the car is imaculate.
I am very nervous about driving it, im going to do the ride-drive one day course to teach me how to drive again (it also gets me a load of my insurance and bearing in mind im only 23 that makes a big difference!)
It has a stainless sports exhaust which makes it sound like a spitfire! and GAZ suspension.
Oh boy am I counting the minutes until I pick it up!
They are stripping back the chassis and waxoyling it for me as well.

Good idea mate! I need to get on a track with it ASAP. Ive already had some decent tuition at Silverstone in an Lotus Exige but it just doesnt compare for brute power back end maddness.

im interested to see if the 25 quid train fare to go up and get it is going to be more than the cost in fuel! (I am contemplating going via wales so if I do I guess it will be a little more expensive lol!
I got back from Anglesey to Oswestry via Tarvin(near Chester) on just over £25 last night.
Nice Car - Exactly the same colour interior as mine, you've got good taste 
Same as advice as others have given you - Treat it with respect, it's a real car. I think that bcause Cerb's are (realtively) cheap now you tend to think of it as only a £15k car, it's NOT - It's a full blown Supercar, take it easy until you know it. And even then it will still bite you one day!
