As the roads are now dry and my drive is no longer a quagmire I got the Cerbera out for the first time in 4 months.

Checked the oil, wiped the dust off (dust cover doesn't seem to work too well) and went for a blast.

She was just as I remember with no extra "foibles". With the roads still very cold it was easy to get the tail out with that little extra press of the throttle.

I saw very few interesting cars out though and no other TVR's. Where is everyone?

Hi amazon

That lovely bend has been a muddy river for the last 3 months after the pumped up 4x4 brigade trashed the green lane over the hill.

I must try to make a local club meeting soon so hope to see you there. I think the last one I got to was in October. A lot of my spare time is currently spent assembling my Ultima. Not got very far yet though.

Try an Ultimate red top. A bit expensive but transforms starting. I never sit there thinking "will she start" any more.

Well, Friday for me was the first time I'd driven the Cerb in 3 months:

Got out for an hour on Sunday afternoon too, with my brother-in-law and nephew in the car, but Derbyshire was full of grockles......

Great to be back behind the wheel of the Cerb again!

This is the one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OPTIMA-RED-TOP-BATTERY-RT-S-...
It is a tight fit and you can just get to the + terminal to fit charger clip. Mine was about £130 delivered but they have gone up because of our cr*p exchange rate with the $.
