Cerberas - don't you just love them
Discussion
New to Cerb ownership and obviously still a little wary 
so as for once the sun had been good enough to grace us with its presence, I decided to take good lady wife and both offsrping out for a run. Stop of at agarden centre to collect a new pump and filter for the pond and on all re entering the car, give the little prayer to the start god and all is well 
.
However, just before exiting the car park I could hear a buzzing sound
coming from the near side three quarter area of the car and am sure that the fuel pump is still priming so turn all off, on again, off and on again and still this buzzing sound is present - worry now creeping in 
.
Look across to good lady wife fearing that I am now going to have to explain something is wrong with the car she told me I should not have bought several times to see a look of combined disappoitment and annoyance on her face
. I explain my concerns in a quiet voice and she without a word points out of my window at a youth flying a remote control plane in the field next to the car park with said plane overhead. Hence the buzzing and oh the relief 
.
Numpty on my part most certainly but I bet I'm a not alone in worrying needlessly.
Happy motoring all (also today managed to stall the car in the middle of a large, light controlled junction with all four incoming roads full of cars staring at the idiot in the yellow car blocking the centre - no peeped horns or gestures though)

Also fairly new to cerb ownership,,, and stalled it in the centre of Leeds so I know exactly how you feel. Don't worry though it just gets better and better... The silliest thing we sussed out was the 40lbs psi in the rear near side tyre, 30 lbs on the other side,, and the fronts were also way off - no wonder previous owner sold it on! Drives like a dream now! Just take it easy with the rear wheel drive. old pilots etc etc.
took mine out in the sun today for a serious thrash around raced quite a few contenders but no contest, drifting the back end out and generally having lots of fun should be another one for jensenna,s thread (good news ) really oh the joys of the cerb behaving herself admirably in the sunshine
Craig, just noticed you're in Worcs - do come down to the Cotswold 3 Counties club meets - second wednesday evening and last sunday lunchtime of every month - would be great to add to the Cerbera tally, and we're a really nice bunch. We expect for one or two, but we don't talk about them (or to them) 
Details are here - http://www.tvrcc-c3c.co.uk/events.asp
You'd be more than welcome, and it'd be good to raise the numbers of Worcs attendees too, as there are only a few of us compared with the Gloucester lot - having said that, we get the best of it as we have the longest drive!

Aha ! That's what that bloody noise is. Have been crapping myself for the last 2 years wondering what was going to fall off or fail. Thanks for putting my mind at rest - That's another great thing about Cerb ownership is the wonderful open and helpful nature of fellow revellers ! coming from the near side three quarter area of the car and am sure that the fuel pump is still primingTook mine out yesterday aftie and what a WONDERFUL time we had !! Mungo Jerry eat your heart out !
I cant drive it further than 15 miles at a time! for fear of it braking down on me
I know what you mean as a new owner myself im listening for any unusual noises becomes habbit! shame realyas it takes some of the driving pleasure away! I suppose i could just turn the music up louder?

I suppose i could just turn the music up louder?Just allow yourself to enjoy it and let that grin take hold. Whats the worst that could happen... not alot, anyone in any car could need the AA sometime.
