In good company
Discussion
To celebrate our 10th anniversary I thought I'd take the Mrs to a posh London hotel (the Oxo tower was full 
), and for a bit of extra specialness decided to drive up in the cerb.
Arriving at the hotel I followed the signs for the garage. Garage, not car park - those are for plebs. Passing by the hotel I noticed an abundance of nice cars milling about, most with arabic number plates. I rejected the idea of valet parking and decided to deposit the car myself.
Driving up, the chap confirmed my reservation, looked at the car, and invited me in. "Just find a space and I'll write you a ticket", he said.
There was one space left - so I parked in it.
Between a Maybach and a Porsche Carerra
Silver with mulberry interior. Evidently, the clients of this place have impeccable taste.
The other cars in the garage were mostly Bentleys and Ferraris, there was at leat one 599 and a new California in there...
On the way out we noticed there was an underground bit where all the regular cars were parked. I like to think the cerb earned a spot in the flash section on its looks and road presence alone and didn't look at all out of place alongside cars worth 20x more
Made my day.

One space left? They must have been saving it for the best looking car of the lot! It never ceases to amaze me just how good the Cerbera looks. Knocks the socks off of that Porsche!
I have to say the cerb looked stunning. The looks it got driving through London were amazing (it helps that you can hear it coming). I had people pointing, taking photographs and one chap even took a video as I went past. Cyclone1 said:
Wow, certainly not out of place at all.....plus I bet the owners of the exotica parked in that car park took the time to look at your Cerb on the way back to their cars.
Great colour combi by the way and exactly what I would want should I return to the fold...

The colour is silver stardust. Dash, console and tunnel are black (red stitching), black carpets, seats are mulberry with black inserts.

Nice one Rog. Reminds me a little of CREAM 2005 when I'd never seen another Cerb apart from mine and went to the underground Hotel parking to find every spot with a Cerb in !
My Gast had never been so flabbered
My Mrs had Alcantara on the inside squabs. Wore through in about two years !
Would never touch the stuff again !

I agree it doesn't wear well, but for the dash top it should be ok, and cut down on reflections.My Gast had never been so flabbered

I once had a suede steering wheel on another car - felt really good for a few months until it went shiny.
