Nice, how long did it take you to get to the end of that field and back? and with no mud up the sides..

[greenm]

Dont worry it looks great they are taking the P--s we can all see you went down the right side and back up the other way u can tell they arn't farmers

[Malam]

Very nice

[Redmist336]

Titanium metallic?



Color looks wonderful in photos. I'm hoping it'll look just as good in the flesh.

Almost.....Aston Martin Tungsten

looks awsome buddy

Are the front tyre directios right????

[Ireland]

It's normal to put tractor tyres on backwards to help reduce the wear on them when you use them on the road.

[Ireland]

Oh, and yes, it does look great.

You have all made me paranoid about the tyres, so I've been out and checked them - They ARE fitted correctly. Mimd you I've just come back from a meal out and copious amounts of wine and so I'll check em again in the morning

Yep - check them again!
I hate to say it Alan, but they are definately on the wrong sides (unless my T1R's have been moulded wrong!). The point of the "V" of the tread faces down.

ETA - The respray looks great

If they're Eagle F1's then they're on the wrong way.

Stunning looking Cerb though, really missing mine.

[gbbird]

That is one nice looking Cerb - original headlights and RL17s - simply the best

[JensenA]

Well I've just been and re-checked them, tyhen checked them again. They are Eagle F1's and as fr as I can see,they {b]are[/b] fittled correctly.
The rotational arrow is pointing in the correct way on both wheels. ie when the arrow is at the top of the tyre, it is pointing to the front of the car, which is correct - is it not?
I can't quite get my head around the Krypton Factor type mental agility games of switching around tyres on wheels. turninig them inside out and them flipping them over and knowing which way round the rotation direction arrow will point.
Am I being a numpty? Or are the people who are telling me that the tyes are the wrong way wrong numpty's?

[Dave^]

Well the rears are on the opposite way to the fronts, so either the fronts or rears are wrong....

(It's the fronts)

The 'V' of the tread should point the the front of the car at the top of the tyre, the the rear at the bottom.... (like the rear tyres.)

[mikeinsheffield]

Great to see another Cerb getting some well deserved love and attention.

Keep on using it - obviously the roads are more slippery but that's no reason why TVRs shouldn't be enjoyed in the winter months.....

Fronts are Goodyear F1's, F1's are Rotational only, not Asymetric - Correct? - The arrows are pointing the correct way for rotation. I've done a few mental agilty tests....
If I switch the wheels round to the other side, then the rotation arrows will be the wrong way round.
The rear's are Toyo Proxy's. Both Tyres have a Left and Right, with a directional arrow, and they are both correct.

So all the tyres are fitted correctly, yet people are still insisting they are incorrect...what is going on here????
