Any Cerberas in Kent !? Oh,and I'm new!

[tonyhetherington]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this board so firstly just wanted to say hello to everyone. Been reading around and it seems a very nice forum.

The reason I am here is that I intend to buy a Cerbera. The best place to learn more and get feedback is of course an area such as this. I've not joined the TVR CC yet as it costs to do, but nearer the time I will actually purchase then I will.

To give you an idea of who I am...my names Tony, 22yrs old, currently own a Lexus IS200sport, but before that owned a 360bhp Escort Cosworth Lux (the Lexus is just an in-between car so I am able to afford a Cerbera....you can't save with a Cosworth in the garage!!)

Anyhow, is there anyone in Kent with a Cerbera who would be able to take me out in their beloved car? Reason being, as much as I know/learned and as much as I love the cars, I've never ACTUALLY been out in one. I've visited my local TVR dealer - was very honest with him that I wont be buying for at least 6months, consequently he said come back nearer the time and he'll take me out for drive.

Well I'll stop rambling on, thanks for reading this, and I look forward to posting more in the future.

Thanks
Tony



PS: No I'm not a daddy's rich kid...I end up poor at end of each month so I can enjoy my cars, and work hard for it (sorry...I used to get accused of this alot when I had my Escort Cos!!!!!)

Dunno about the preponderance of Cerbs in your area, (I live in Derbyshire) but just thought I'd welcome you to the PH fold.
Word of warning : Its addictive!

Thanks very much for the welcomes.

Matt......I'll definately come along Monday night. That's very kind of you to offer - thank you.

Have you got a post-code of where the meet is, and I'll plonk it in to Multimap and get some directions.

I'm 22, thin, dark hair (look alot like Alex from Big Brother last yr..doh!!!), and will be in a Lexus IS200 with a number plate A10 NYH looking like A TONY H.

What Cerbera do you have....colour....number plate....and I'll look out for you!?

Thanks again

Hi all,

Just to confirm I will be at the meet at the Rose and Crown tonight, so if you do see someone looking lost, that will be me!!!

Like I say, I'll be coming along in a granite sky IS200sport - and i'll be looking out for you all.

See you there ! (I'm aiming for about 7.45ish)

Thanks
Tony

I see that you have a meet in sevenoaks tonight, and my son and I might pop along to see what happens. If anything. I hope that we will not be part of an anorak brigade! If we are what colour do we wear. Only joking! see you tonight. I have a pink Cerb 4.2.
