Hello
I've just bought Killer Rhubarb's Sp6 - had to drive from Aldershot to Milton Keynes in rush-hour traffic on Monday evening, but it was a great drive. I then took it from MK back to home in Cheshire last night - the M1 and A50 were a little dull, but the road from Stoke to Macclesfield via Leek was much more exciting!!

Really pleased with the car - I had the remote key-fob replaced today, so now it unlocks when I want it to (!).

Might drop in at Trentham on Sunday to the Staffs tvroc meet, but will definately go to ROAR as its only about 5 miles from home.

The sound is terrific! Got a few little jobs to do, but overall "what a car!!!".

Fiat Coupe is now a little neglected :-(

Congratulations. The first drive home when you've bought a Cerb is something special.

I moved up to my Cerb after a couple of Coupes. Cracking cars.

i was very worried on my first drive home. previous car was 4.4 x5 so although had the torque not in the same league. didnt take me long to work out how controllable the slide from the back wheels round the corners is...............
Still makes me smile. expensive in tires though !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The memory will be forever etched in my mind. Watching Simon drive off down the road in it. Standing with my brother both staring after.

The blood, the sweat, the graft, the swearing, the many cups of tea... That is a good car.

In the end I nearly pulled the plug on the sale smile Glad I didnt... Someone had to save him from this evil fiat coupe and that man was me.

So I just got another one to heal the pain.

Glad you didn't pull the plug!

Hope you enjoy your new beast - your old one is now in a good home, enjoying the Macclesfield fresh air and light drizzle (!)
Good to meet the folk at the Staffs/Shropshire meet - now looking forward to Roar the week after next.....
