So I have had the Cerb about a month now and have been making my own weather around Warwickshire and Oxfordshire, great fun. However with the warmer days and lighter nights I am starting to miss the sheer open-ness of the Griff and so have started looking at Caterhams (as well as not instead of). The Cerb seems to be a jealous mistress and is not taking kindly to this. Firsly after kicking the tyres at Caterham North I got back into the Cerb and the starter motor refused to engage so we had to be recovered back to David Gerald by the AA for a new one under warrantee. Then last night we went to meet the Banbury 7 group (friendly and informative, thanks), this was too much for the Cerb so it left a puddle of water in the pub car park to indicate it's displeasure, looks like a holed radiator. So now I am starting to worry, what will the Cerb do if it has to share a garage with a 7?

Well known fact - TVRs hate being ignored. Best not even think about other cars - even other TVRs!

Leave mine for 24 hours and it'll sulk! Go and look at a Tuscan and it's hell to pay!!!!

Unbelievable. I buy the 7 and the Cerb takes severe umbridge and totally refuses to start. In my garage the Cerb is always on a charger so I try for three days, it will turn over but not ignite. So David Gerald come out and it won't start for them either and they trailer it back for the third time. As soon as they get it to Inkberrow (well away from the 7) it starts! They have tried repeatedly to replicate the fault and it starts every time.
So I have a plan. When I get it back on Friday I am going to whisper sweet promises to it of Nitrons and RRs and headlight conversions. A charm offensive.
Meanwhile in this glorious summer weather the 7 has become my sole means of transport.
