of my Chim 450. Sounds silly but it feels slow. I drove my mates Cerbera last year which was totally awesome, the power was relentless. Think I may have to part-ex it for a 4.2 Cerby. Also the sound of the exhaust is amazing...

If only you could take the top off a Cerbie - or at least put a sunroof in it!

yeah I know, suppose thats the only downside to a cerby, but at least I won't have to worry about the car leaking when it's lashing down. Anyways it's a pain in the arse removing the roof and putting it in the boot.

An upgrade to a similar age Cerbie should not set you back too much. If you feel the need, go for it!

I'm seriously considering a Cerbie for my next Tiv experience.

yeah sometimes I can't be bothered with taking the roof off. I'd check up about Cerberas not leaking in the rain

Put a set of 185 Escort/Sierra wheels on the back of the Chim.. that'll bring the magic back..

Cheers.

Or of all else fails, sell me the 450 for peanuts to keep Mrs H happy..

I done the deal last week to dob my chim500 in for a shiney nearly new cerby. Gonna miss it to bits to be honest, especially after yesterday.Wonderful car to drive. Had a cracking blat out yesterday with a tuscan and a griff.
Roof off pain in the rear?????? I think not. Only trouble is, i burnt my bloody bald head!!!!
Can`t wait till next week when i pick up the 4.5lw.
Wish i could afford both!

Someone was advertising in the trade ads in the back of March's Sprint (not seen Aprils) about doing various fibreglass upgrades and IIRC a Cerby sunroof was mentioned, perhaps for those not so folically challenged... Or something. Anyhow, has anyone used these people or made enquiries? Be interesting to know if they come up to their advertised capabilities.
