how long have you had your cerbie

[carlb]

i just noticed on the list of cerbies thread, someone mentioned lots seemed to have sold up...

so i was wondering... how long you have had your cerb or how you had it before selling?

also what the highs and lows have been while being a cerb owner

i've had mine for 2.5yrs and 15,000 miles

high - trip to le mans in 06... awsome

lows - none really

I've had mine almost three months, and done 4,000 trouble free miles so far

[SimonSparrow]

Four and half years and about 48k miles. Lots of highlights (five times to Le Mans etc.), some low points too, bit like life really

Just over four years, 20,000 miles.

Highs.... trip to Milan, CREAM, Cerburgring "one", my trip around my private circuit every Sunday morning

Lows.... head gasket, repairs & the people who do them for me

I recon another high must have been when you found out your motor was a 353hp Beast last Saturday at Track Car Solutions

Top Motor Carl me old buddy and the best colour by far

Hey Pasco!

and then watched that power curve go all the way!

good call my mate!

Oooo - a few highs have been taking on bikers and reading their body language when they realise they aint gonna lose me... no way! duke 999's... Pa! like flies on my bonnet!

O/T You need to pop round Scaffold Gone

In fact if you fancy a spin Saturday i will be a willing passenger as my motor will still be with Joo.

Coming on 6 months, 7k miles.

Trip to the Nurburgring, hooning around the country and listening to those pops and bangs

I was just going to keep it as a summer toy and replace it come winter, but i'm completely hooked. Will be in the collection forever now.

7 years, 70k miles... never selling up, instead, we will merely be expanding the fleet eventually...

[Kongcerbera]

Owned it for 5 Months so far, roughly 2,500 miles. One engine rebuild
Lots of smiles, whoops, pops, bangs, Whhhooaa and various other noises.
Plan to go to Ireland, as well as the Nurburgring.

Downside?? Reversing into the garage and watching in shock as a roof rack
bar that i clipped, falls on to the drivers door. Ouch.

18 months and a fabulous 12,000 miles! Most of it highs, but if I have to pick a single trip then Cerburgring 2007!

Lows, well, if it's got a problem that stops me being able to drive it really! Hasn't happened much though and we have always come home together and under our own power!

[JensenA]

On my second one now. Had it for 16 months.

Lows - Initial problems in first few months, Master Cylinder, Slave Cylinder, New gearbox.

Highs - Lots, SP Exhaust, followed by a bespoke remap by Jools, but the 'highest' were my 2 trips to S of France and back, loved it !

[rs200tez]

7 weeks owned now...

Highs... every time you find a road with a bit of room

Lows.. this annoying light throttle running issue i'm working on!

[cirvy]

Owned mine for nearly six years now, car has treated me so well, given it does'nt really have the easiest of lives

Often think i should move it on & try something else, but really would'nt know what to replace it with!!

Hi Simon i think we have met several times before but most memorable 3/11/06 at the factory

Your car being the loudest Cerb i have ever heard

Pasco

[pcowen]

Had mine 13 months and 6000 miles, high Le Mans 2007, no lows, just had a 12K service!

[Raw Cerb]

4 years + now.

Did another 50 miles today, blasting through the lanes. It still makes me smile.

[carlb]

excellent!

keep em coming, its great to hear so much good stuff about our amazing car.

pops, bangs, hooning, le mans.... love it!

[esso]

Owned Cerb`s for 3years now,highlight~probably Le-Mans 2007,but never fails to put a smile on my face everytime i drive it!!!!..........worst time~first Cerb went up in flames!!!Never wanna be without one~they get under your skin!!!

[Malx]

Owned it for 7 months and had 103 trouble free miles!

Highs - Picking it up, the looks it got as i drove it home.
Lows - The bang and crunch that comes from the timing chain deciding it's had enough as i get it home on day one. The garage telling me that after 5 months of having the car the engine (after being rebuilt) has had to be taken out again again as it's not working. oh and having everyone at work each and every day asking "how's the car?"
