Any lady Cerbera drivers out there?
We are looking to add to the family with something more sporty than the Chimaera 400.
I fancy the new Sagaris but Mrs. .Mark is still firmly in love with the Cerbera, she will only really settle for the 4.5RR perhaps a 4.5 at a push.

Any other girlie nutters out there that can offer some advice?

BTW Chimaera stays. No question. I can't loose that wind in the hair experience for the world!

I thought I would never see that phrase in a sentance. It is meaningless. Come the revolution, you'll be up against the wall before me, Mark.

How about the Tamora or Tuscan?

IMHO, although I do like the Cerbie, it looks like a stretched hardtop version of the Chim Personally, it wouldn't be different enough for me.

But hey, if your missus is smitten with them then there's no contest really...

There she goes..

Once she had found the Leven Handbrake to stick her handbag on my wife is totally at home driving a Cerbera, in fact we all struggled to keep her in check on the way to Pie and Tie this year..

I think's it more the look of annoyance that blokes give her when she sails by in it that make her drive one....

Tamora - Nope, she fancies a hard top (down Podie!).
Tusan - we have discussed these, but, well, not for her, she prefers the more understated look.

Yep. Just like the BMW driver around here that called her a f$%&ing tart MX5 driver last summer! :muppet:


P.S. Got anything suitable???

At least the handbrake serves some purpose in your car rather than just looking pretty!

The shiny silver/black plastic thing next to the 5-speed combined gearbox + only way of keeping the car stationary on an incline.

Mrs .M may love the Sagaris, but after sitting in it at Castles, my first question to you would be how tall are you? There ain't much room in the Sagaris/T350 if you're a big chap - Tuscan/Cerbie roomier!

No, the meta alarm siren failing (on our Chim 400) at 6.25 this morning woke me and the rest of the street up fine, thanks

with u on that one schnozz, the old San Francisco parking comes into play, tyres to the kerb...hill start? HA
In reply to the original, my wife who likes her creature comforts LOVES driving the cerb, I was driving her car the other day, she passed me like I was stood still, backed off for a corner and got flame out of the pipes, back on the power and away....it was a real hamlet moment

Yeah, ok, there's having wheels angled in, too (it was just a joke!)... that wouldn't really work out here in the sticks where there're no kerbs to line up with, though! Hell, roads are a luxury.

6 foot 1, am off to see the Sagaris in the flesh weekend after next I guess we'll have a better idea then.

Thing is...this morning I was nosing round a rather tasty 4.5RR Cerbie I've found for sale

Decisions, decisions!
