[hot metal]

It was a few years ago now but I saw this motoring program ,I can`t remember what it was called (not Top Gear) but this guy`s OH gave him a Cerbera as a suprise gift .Does anyone remember it or know the lucky bugger involved. Andy

I'm sure it was Dawn French. She brought one for her other half Lenny Henry as a prezzy.
She wrote a message in the car also for him. I think the car went up in flames or it got crashed.

Car met a nasty end.

So long as it isnt told by Lenny (going on his stand up skills).

He was drunk, and IIRC also ruined another Cerb that way.

That's a tad libelous Ben!

ok then, allegedly he was drunk...

edited to add: Despite attempts to keep it quiet - it was reported in various newspapers at the time, so I am not the first to say it by any means.

Judging by the size of French and Henry, perhaps stability caused the crash

[Old Geezer]

Two Cerb wrecker! AND he survived!

Must be a driving God?

Indeed, it was a normal couple that had saved up some money and the object was to find a £20K supercar for the car-mad husband. Ended up choosing the Cerbie over some assorted '80s italian exotica and Pork, and a Chimmie. Must have been like five years ago, at least.

Thank God somebody else remembers it ,thought i`d imagined it all

[Mr.Cerbera]

Mrs. Cerbera bought me mine for a Valentine's pressie !

Yes, I remember this too. It was more than 5 years ago, I've had mine for 4+ years now and the programme was way before then.

Now that you're mentioning it, it was defnitely before the current 'Clarkson/talk show' format as it was Tiff Needell who was presenting and running through the possible purchases with the lady in question (introducing the Chimaera by driving it very sideways ) .
