This is on the general forum - seems a shame to miss a good opportunity for Cerb publicity! Glad to see it's starting to be considered a classic!

It was me!
Spent yesterday in Brecon Beacons outside Abergavenny having some fun. No pics as some of mine will look like the ones used in the article.
So we had a Chimeara, a 400 Griff, a 500 Griff and my 4.2 Cerbera.
Interesting chatting to the journalist, who right away stated he'd probably fancy a griff after the shoot, ok I see how that's going
Took a bit of time to get started, mostly because one of the griffs apparently needed cleaning/polishing lots, but a good fun day.
Started with some staic shots, moved onto tracking shots with the photographer hanging out the tailgate of a BMW estate with the TVR's taking turns to drive what felt like a foot or two from the camera. Few more shots around a corner etc, then the journalist drove the cars in turn, starting with the Chim and working up to the Cerbera.
We'll have to wait for the article, but I get the feeling he found the Cerbera 'too focussed' and too fast. He was amazed at how quickly the revs rose. Might not have helped he was very tall/long, he did look a little squashed, so it wouldn't surprise me if he comes out in favour of the Griff 500.
Anyhow, article will be in next months Classic & Sportscar magazine.

Nice to meet you Dave it was a good day and I am still convinced that a certain Griff owner has shares in a car polish company

you both should have gone to spec savers.
Last time I went there the guy in front of me was undergoing a pre-screening test. He was shown a griff and a cerb and asked to pick the meaner, better looking car. When he pointed to the griff they referred him to a specialist. Apparently there's only so much you can do with prescription lenses. Edited by Mark UB on Thursday 15th October 14:10
