Jeeees, too right. Pretty much every car I have on my 'to do' list you've already owned (bar the Alfa Romeo Stradale). Would love to see pics of your Cooper S! biggrin

Will post some pics of the Mini soon, just finishing sorting it for the mini do at Silverstone at the moment, after a few years of rallying it I must admit it hadn't turned a wheel for three years, so only fair it get out again... although I'm sure I'll have all the car spotters telling me that's not how it was or this is the wrong screw... lol

And if you look at all my past cars, I can honestly say for any money the Cerbie is top of the fun road cars list, must just try not to pop gearboxes and diffs as much this time!

Hi Kurt

I have recently booked up for the Petrol Nirvana tour and I noticed that you had mentioned an interest in booking on the Forum. Have you booked and if so will you be taking the Cerbera? (which will make 3 on the tour).

My car has been off the road since November having a ground up respray, an engine rebuild and other goodies. Due to get back this month to give me a chance to run in properly before thrash across europe.

Yup, all booked in for the Alps thing, the Cerbera is the back up car, Griff no good as no boot with roof panel in there for two people and two weeks!

Fingers crossed the GTR720 will be back on the road by then, like you it's in the middle of a repaint and engine rebuild, so if that doesn't happen in time it will be the new Cerbera.

The Cerbera first proper outing will be Le Mans this year!

That really is some list of pre-owned vehicles. Says a lot about our humble cerbs if you have chosen to buy another. Good on you thumbup

Nothing humble about Cerbie's for real world and real roads, not much to touch them at any price for just putting a smile on your face.

Having now had the pleasure of a ride in the new monster, i can safely confirm that it is quite quite mental!

The acceleration is awesome, but the noise.... oh the noise! Whilst my Chim pops and bangs on trailing throttle, it will never sound the same after a trip in that Cerbera... if you can imagine someone firing a machine gun next to your ear, you will be almost there... absolutely savage!

thumbup Nice selection of cars you have/have had there, and the above is exactly the way we feel about our Cerb, we've tried to find a replacement, but nothing quite compares. smile

That car looks great - I think Castle had it for a few months so assume they were keen to do a deal.

I'm pretty sure it used to belong to someone off here (TVRedd), but I could be wrong.
