I currently own a 4.5 cerb and quite fancy a convertable I have looked at Tuscans and i love the styling but the speed 6 just doesn't "do it" for me (noise not reliability, close that can of worms 
) I had a test drive in a very nice 500 today and had a good offer on the cerb, so I am at the moment weighing up the options any suggestions welcome.

I don't think that even carbon cans will help him get the roof off, for 'convertablity' is the reason for the proposed change.
It's not the usual route, as Cerbera is perceived as 'higher' than Griff, perhaps as it came out later. But if you want to get the roof off - and for me that's a big part of the fun and what makes it different from the rest, it's either that or Chimaeara - and you may think the latter is too similar. Maybe you need to draw up a list of pros and cons and see which wins?

I think it`s the noise of the Tuscan in standard form that is the problem? hence the suggestion of CC`c for the Tuscan

You kept that one quiet Alan fed up being called a hairdresser? imagine what you will get if you bought a Griff
On a serious note is it just the noise/exhaust note?Have you heard one with the carbon cans fitted? not quite like your Cerb but certainly louder than mine!Tony
Has somebody called me a hairdresser?
I bet it was the shnozz bloke wasn't it? 
congratulations
Love the shape of the Griff (as fresh and beautiful today as ever it was), but don't think I could live with the either of the alloy wheel designs as they just seem to be too old fashioned for me.
Is the factory still doing their conversions to the 16" tuscan wheels for Griffs and Chimps? Remember Evo doing a speil on the last Griffiths (a bright red one) and the pictures included a Griff (an old hack with dark grey paintwork, apparently) which looked the dogs b***s with the dark anthricite tuscan alloys.

bloody hell alan - this was kept quiet wasnt it. Congrats on the new toy. Great being topless isnt it, and at least you dont have to worry about your hair in the wind
new one looks rather tasty mate. will have to pop over and take a closer look. Has the cerb gone to another local?
She will be in residence towards the end of this week, having a few things put right and the cassette player changed to cd.
Less of the hair jokes, you will be old yourself one day, besides Tony will be giving me grief no doubt
Dropped the Tuscan off at Fernies tonight and saw what i think is your new Griff in the workshop? Is it one of the last "LE" models? Looked rather nice "suits you sir"!! When do you pick it up? Not sure about the wheels thou Alan 16" Spider conversion? see ya soon Tony p.s how did Mike get on with the Bridgstones/

Not sure about the wheels myself, they look a little old fashioned sort of 70's retro but they were an expensive option on the SE. I will look at the spider upgrade and the alloy dash and ....... here we go again
