it's hard enough with existing cars and wanting (but cant) to go out, cant imagine what it must be like with a new car in the garage, feel for you mate, I'd probably go out anyway if I was you and look forward to a nice cleaning sesion with her when you get home yes

DONT BE CONTROLLED BY THE WEATHER!

wavey I'd just go out anyway Alval! I know it would be more fun in the sunshine on dry roads, but hey, it's a Cerbera, it won't mind! wink

See you in Bedfordshire - there is a Beer Festival in a pub near Kimbolton tomorrow (Sunday) which the Cambs region are going to - apparently the landlord would like the cars parked up to stun the crowds! hehe They are going in convoy (not a great distance I know!) Maybe that would tempt you? Email me if you would like the details.

Meanwhile - got any pictures of your Cerbera? tongue out

Just take it out. They're great fun even in the rain (sometimes more so!). You just have to be very careful. But then, with a new car you're gonna be being extra careful in the dry anyway.

Mmm. Dry weather only for this kid too unless I get caught out in it. Only had mine about a month. But having just read the above threads, I would tend to agree with gettting used to driving it in the wet to get a feel for the car under those conditions..obviously not torential rain though as I don't keep the wet suit in the car :-)

PS I'm in Cambs, could someone tell me which pub.

AlVal wavey Lovely car! lick Not sure how many are going tomorrow, but they are meeting up at Brampton Hut Services at 1145. The pub is The Fox at Catworth. Apparently it is a Jaguar and Porsche Owners Club event and we have been invited smile. party

I gather the weather is more showers that stair rods tomorrow, so it could just work out well! You would be very welcome too!

YHM!
